Looking for suggestions - been in the midst on interviews(several months) and one of the companies asked for references on Monday. Provided 2 professional and 2 personal references. As of today, Friday no one has been contacted - is this a red flag?
Thanks,

There may not be any reason to be alarmed over that. Sometimes, if other things check out, companies don't bother to call references. And they often call them late in the process. So there's probably no reason to assume they'd call them as soon as they received their contact information.

Not a red flag on its own. Many companies collect references early but only check them once a final decision is close or approvals land. Silence usually reflects internal delay, not rejection.

Curious to know what you've seen as working to non working dollars split in Canadian agencies. Reference any specific brands (or categories) if you can. I'm used to seeing the conventional 15-20% split for non working (production dollars only, not including media budget, agency fees) but are those days gone now with the takeover of digital (vs traditional) ad placements?
