Traditional Ad agencies are pretty limited. There are opportunities to work in-house at some of the big tech companies. Could be a hit or miss on what you really want to be doing in life. Currently in-house at a large beverage company, and completely bored in my daily work routine. But hey you at least work a 9-5 and actually get a work life balance out here. Another issue here is that people under value themselves and won’t ask for a decent salary. So it’s pretty much a joke when, I get calls from companies to go do design for $25-40 per hour.
As a creative who moved up from PDX years ago this market is really focused on tech skill sets around product design, UI/UX. Even at my tech company my behind the scenes title is a UX designer. In house seems to be the main thing up here. PDX has become crazy competitive so most jobs you’ll be working so many hours that you won’t have much time left to enjoy nature.
