Saatchi, Team One, RPA are all very chill places where a 40 hour week is pretty typical.

I don’t think RPA is solid at work life balance… almost the opposite. Maybe different accounts but from what I heard is old school af.

The best: Deutsch LA. You still get some late nights and weekend work but generally it’s been better than some of the other shops I’ve worked at in LA
The worst: TBWA/Chiat/Day LA. It did not have good work/life balance at all, but who knows maybe it’s better now from when I worked there. (This was 2 years ago).
The in between: 72 and Sunny & Anomaly is slightly better than Chiat.
Heard through the grapevine: Saatchi and RGA is decent work/life

Deutsch has good hours? Since when?

Maybe it depends on the account?

Wunderman Thompson isn’t the best work, but they need writers and the work life really is not bad. Some good creative opportunities coming in and you could probably name your salary.

I wish I wasn’t adaptable. Humans aspire for a greater level of comfort and once achieved, adopt that as their new baseline. Because of this, somebody making $100k cannot simply comfortably revert back to a $50k lifestyle. The slow growth of personal wealth isn’t noticed as ideated. Instead, we are never satisfied.

How long is too long to try to push back a start date? Getting a formal offer early next week but trying to keep that big law bonus if possible.

Ideally want to get EOY bonus or negotiate for a signing bonus but is it too much to push for signing bonus and those weeks off? I'm open to working remotely those two weeks but know that may not be the best when I start.

Hi Everyone,

Need your valuable insights. Having an YOE of 11 years and offered TechLead position with a CTC of 30 LPA (28.5 LPA Fixed) a month ago.

Though their WLB and culture seems good, I kept feeling that I am being lowballed which pushed me to give further interviews.

Received another offer for same role from another PBC for 35LPA (33 Fixed). Is it OK to ask the first company to revise the CTC (up to their best) where the DOJ is in 10 days?
