Just came back after taking a long fishbowl break and would love to see some positivity here!

Who’s super happy at their agency?
I’ll start: absolutely miserable.

Pretty happy at my agency. It’s under WPP, but I haven’t experienced the abuse that others complain about from holding companies.

I can’t tell you here as I’m the only Jr Cw at my agency (I’m a pretty big deal), but i can tell you in private message if you’re genuinely curious.

Just had several rounds of interviews at your agency and got ghosted by the recruiter - heard all the hires were announced last week. So that’s fun.

Eeeek I’m so sorry to hear that. Recruiters can really be the worst.
