I wouldn’t go there right now, the agency is not doing well. Add to that the upcoming merger.

Stay where you are. They won't be stable for a while and mergers have everyone moved around and sacrificed like chess pieces.
My $.02 as someone who recently escaped…
I would not do it. Worldgroup as a layer won’t exist post merger, it’s a holdco layer within a holdco and omnicom already has versions of that. McCann (at least in NY) is a shitshow, and you’ll be dealing with their dysfunction and chaos way more than they’ll let on in the interview stage.
And from what I saw, while IPG seems to be sticking to the rule that if you’re client funded, you should be ok, BD is a super high risk role when times are tight / all internal cost center.
If you’re in a secure role in this moment of industry turmoil, I’d caution against this major risky move.
Stay where you are…for all the reasons listed above.
McCann is messy everywhere, don't do this to yourself!
If you’re desperate to work, take it. But definitely do not leave your job for McAquired if you already have one.
