Okay so I’m somewhat new to the Advertising industry and was curious if hiring comes in waves? Seem like a lot of people are posting about how quiet hiring is rn.

Yes. Also, there’s a general reckoning in larger ad agencies right now. The industry, in its traditional form, is shrinking.

Yes, definitely in waves. Tied to financial quarters.

In general it’s tied to quarters. Most companies (meaning clients but this can also be true for the agency as well) start making budget cuts at the end of their fiscal year to compensate for overspending in the first half of the year. For that reason, job prospects are generally better at the start. The fiscal year doesn’t always line up with the calendar year so keep that in mind. Also most people just don’t quit around major end of year holidays which means there aren’t jobs to be had. And then there’s the dying agency model. This is truly happening but I think smaller more nimble shops will be ok for a while. Either way, it’s worth considering a corporate side job if your heart can take it.
