I'd keep doing what you're doing. If you hear from them, great. If not, you got ghosted. To your question, my now-employer took so long that when the recruiter called me for an interview I had forgotten I applied for a job with them.

It took about 3 and a half months from when they first emailed me to when I signed the offer.

Recruiter to set up an interview. It is a big agency in LA. Do I still have a shot? Does anyone got an offer two or 3 months after the interview? The CD said few projects fell through so they not in a rush to fill a position any more but they have to do it sooner or later. I am applying to other places but this job is really important to me. 🤞🏼

Just signed an offer letter for a job I applied to on July 26. My start date is still four weeks out. Be patient but keep applying other places!

Sounds like they don’t have the workload available. Bring in accounts if you can and really want to work there. They can’t take you on speculation that they might win later.

Need a little perspective: Did you get faster at brainstorming ideas as you went along in your career? I’m one of the only juniors at a mostly senior agency and having trouble keeping up.

Things are apparently going to get better after a client will be leaving, I’ll get to work on different brands but I am feeling pretty burnt out from the agency I’m at. Will new clients help? Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.
