Yeah. Don’t live in NJ. You didn’t move across the globe to live in NJ.
Smartest thing on here
Expect a much faster pace than Australia, but mostly the same tasks. Your experience will vary hugely depending on the agency culture. Some in NYC are extremely account-led (Publicis NY, Wunderman Thompson), others give creative all the power (WK, BBDO). Some have very pleasant working hours (Grey, Saatchi) some are insane sweatshops (Anomaly, Johannes Leonardo). All those details aside, if you can handle
M&C Saatchi you’ll be fine at any agency in NYC. Have fun while you’re here, you work hard and you play hard. Expect to be challenged, frustrated, but in the end, to love it. PS: if you can afford it, live in Brooklyn, not Jersey
☝🏻
Live in Jersey. Commute to the city. For the rent.
75k - 90k is a good range for holding company agencies.
Knock on as many doors as you can. Create a network and work with talent recruiters
I made the move to NYC four years ago. Good luck!
Very high rent
Check out Glassdoor
Rent is on par with Sydney. Most budgets these days are spent in partnerships. You should do well especially if you can force those partners to give your clients true value.
