Looks like this is something pretty common that I have no idea about - so I actually want to learn. What is the work that requires you to have a client computer and phone? Haven't heard before

Mck1, it’s more common on longer projects and especially in staff aug roles and IT.

think work where you need to access a proprietary system to pull data yourself instead of just getting it from the client. it’s more secure and it’s easier to just give everyone devices rather than let people connect their own devices. plus, if something is wrong with the device, the client can replace it.

for instance, i do a lot of work for hospitals that involves accessing their IT systems and they typically give me a laptop.

I might have to fly soon, and already thinking about the nightmare of taking 3 laptops through TSA during covid (even with precheck, TSA often opens up my bag if I have more than one)

I just listened to an interview of a creative director recount their path towards copywriting at a famous ad agency. It could not have been a more textbook case of failing upwards as a white man.

It would seem the only thing you need to make it as an advertising creative is to have lots of not particularly original ideas. Practically every other skill is unnecessary. If you’re a white man.

That this level of mediocrity passes for talent explains why so many agency briefs are so lame.
