Looking to move to Seattle (for the nature and the city), googling makes it look like there's not much of an ad scene here. How do I/you find work?

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.

My boss (atty) is so disorganized! I’ve been with him 6 months and he’s having a hard time delegating, sharing info and managing deadlines. I’ve organized the caseload to manage the deadlines. He says he wants me to help with discovery but when I offer to start on one, he says he needs to do it. (Since he might have to present as evidence) When I give him deadlines and ask for the docs he says he’ll get to it. It’s a small 1 man firm, and I’m the first assistant besides his wife. Any advice?

Hey Fishes,
Been working at D India as a Manager (Not USI) for past few months.
Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
1. Global projects are available here
2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri
