Just interviewed Jon Bond, founder of KBS which at the te was the largest and best independent agency in the country. If you're an ad nerd there's a TON of helpful insights on this one.

It was never the largest independent and “the best” is highly subjective. It was once a good agency with NY swagger that did some interesting work. It’s downfall began when Jon and Richard milked every last penny out of it to maximize their earn out from MDC. The downfall was accelerated through the brilliance of Lori Senecal, serial agency killer. The agency barely exists today as F&B NY.

Largest and best independent agency in the country?!! Is W+K Canadian?

Legend has it they fielded a great agency softball team in their prime, too.

Hola everyone,
I have 1.5years of experience in Angular and recently i started looking for job opportunities. I was hoping that it will take 2-3 months at least to find a job opportunity and then when i serve 90 days notice period then I'll have around 2years of experience. But i got an offer letter in the first company i interviewed at and they are offering 80% hike.
I think i still have many things to learn and i can do it in my current company. Now should i accept that offer letter or reject

Hoping for some advice on how to properly leverage another job offer to help make another company pull the trigger on you.

I have a good feeling they will extend an offer but it’s not a slam dunk. I think I’m top 2. Company B has extended an offer but one that I’m not really considering (moving to a new city/not enough money). Do I mention this....
