SS1 - who told you it’s great? It’s a dumpster fire at best. We have two jr creatives left, everyone else quit. And we have no clients to speak of. It’s a matter of time until layoffs come.

Depends on your flavor of strategy, but some other shops to look into — AKQA, Swift, Roundhouse, Instrument, R/GA, Opinionated plus lots of smaller spots. Good luck with the move!

When you inevitably join an improv or sketch group, don’t try to pitch it as a thing that makes you unique or a good hire.

LS1 and LS2 are so right. You don’t want to be a part of that

Fair ? Good? Bad ?
Thanks

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!
