This reads like you’re about to ask me for my bank routing and account number. Start by not writing like that.

With limited characters, I wanted to get straight to the point - but absolutely solid advice for spec work.

So there are a lot of portfolio schools - VCU, Miami ad school, a lot of smaller ones that escape me right now. They’re all expensive but now may be a good time to be in school instead of the job market. If you’re starting at the absolute beginning I would recommend reading the Advertising Concept book and Hey, Whipple. Learn-as-you-go opportunities at big agencies aren’t typical. A couple of agencies do summer internships that do not require you being in ad school. Do you have any writing experience or any work you’ve put together?

Also, since you’re the breadwinner, I would advise against unpaid internships. Most pay these days—they’re often required to by law. You’ll be doing enough free work getting your portfolio together. Good luck. 👍😀

Hi Folks

Also HR said that I can work from Anywhere so it means I need not relocate. Is this true?
Any clarity would be appreciated!

I was in a position of leadership before being demoted earlier this year. It wasn’t called that, but I was given a different role and they hired someone to take my spot. My boss has since expressed regret for this decision calling it hasty on his end

I had access to all the things I was managing for months into my new role and discovered when they hired 5 new entry level positions, all got 45k (women) except one, who got a 60k (1man). The 60k man works on my team and is sort of awful.
