Looking for some Fishy insight. A friend just texted below, he teaches at a biz school:

“Hey, there are a bunch of ad vets on this chain so love to get your perspective. I have a student — leans more creative v. strategy/account— who wants to work at an agency…is it hard to get agency jobs post college now? And if so, what skills are they hiring, if any?”...

My first jaded question was “WHYY??” :)…won’t bore you w/ my long response re: our industry but any thoughts appreciated! :)

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals.

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
