Cossette.

Yeah, but they made that NABS film with a talking cracker who blamed the worker for their declining health from overworking themselves! Cossette can’t be a sweatshop, the workers put it on themselves!

Literally everywhere. The agencies losing business have all the ppl they have left doing way more than usual to keep profit % high. The hotter agencies winning accounts can’t hire fast enough so everyone there doing way more until reinforcements arrive. Kudos to those agencies who at least attempt to give a shit about its ppl and don’t want to be a sweatshop for any prolonged period of time just to make more profits

I agree with this. Most people in most agencies work "overtime" hours. But there are different types of busy.

Personally, I don't mind working the occasional evening and weekend on cool stuff. But a place is truly a sweatshop when you work nights and weekends on the churn work. That is a result of being short staffed to maximize profit or due to incompetent processes.

In talks with A&M to come over to their TAG practice from EY FDD as senior associate. Base salary is very competitive on top of the alluring "bonus" structure. 2 questions:

1. Do they normally offer sign on bonuses?
2. Is their any disadvantage between A&M FDD compared to B4 FDD in terms of exit ops down the road? Trying to look 5 years down the line

Would appreciate any insight!

Anyone with stage IV endo and recurring Endometriomas gone on Lupron after egg retrieval?

Is our industry as competitive as some say? I see a lot of people saying this and I work with a bunch of hacks (myself included). It felt like a little while ago agencies were begging to hire new talent, and most couldn’t find new people. Is it really that hard to get a job at an agency? Maybe I’m just out of touch being in this career for so long.
