Just search it here. Lots has been said.

ML1 So is the general gist of what’s been said good or bad? I feel like from what I recall its more bad, so want to get that confirmed. How do you like it there?

Where and what do you want? Also remove that space between both names.

They want me actually. Trying to figure out what’s it’s like there. Boston and NY offices.

The gist is if you get on a great account, great. If you don’t, not great. It’s just like every other holding company out there

If it’s s NY and BOS role combined, make sure you know the politics. They ain’t great. BOS supports NY in a lot of ways and NY runs very differently. They are somewhat competitive about where resources live and who owns what. Lead creative is in BOS. The NY office has struggled for years because of this imbalance of power. Anything super cool gets the ECD eyes on it and risks coming to BOS. And, yes, account you are hired for and under what CD matters a great deal, but could change at any time. Like anywhere else.

I can write from the NY perspective. You’re asked to help Boston out from time to time. Almost everyone at Acd Level has had to work on a Boston pitch or giant brief. They don’t know it and that’s why you see a lot of the “we help New York” comments. It definitely goes both ways.

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?

I am 40 so not exactly young. Thank you!
