R/GA New York. What’s the vibe currently? Are people leaving, coming, hired, fired? How are the big accounts to work on? Do they use single ply?

^ Let’s go ahead and put the brakes on these responses. They too have been replied to death. People are new to this app all the time. Just because you have heard it a million times before does not mean that they have. Also, it is a shortfall of the app. Why should anyone waste time sifting for answers? This app crowd sources first, everything else is second.

Look. I know this has been asked a million times. Thanks for the heads up Einstein (ex BBDO). I also know that things change, and they change quickly. With leadership moving around I’m curious what the CURRENT vibe is. Appreciate any insight and or experiences. Thanks

I don’t work there, but I have friends who do and I hope this helps, but forget the name brand of the agency and consider this. They’re a large agency that hasn’t done memorable work for a paying client since Nike+ in the early 2010s. Their legendary CCO left and now their super talented CD and best design lead also jumped ship. If they hire a new CCO you believe in, you could get in early on their resurgence. If not, it may be best to steer clear.

OP — wasn’t trying to be rude. I should have probably noted that. My bad. There was an R/GA thread as recently as 2 days ago I just thought you would’ve wanted immediate feedback rather than wait. My last name isn’t Einstein btw. Though Harold is a great director. You should work with him if you have a chance

Kinda bummed. I’ve been single for 6 years (I’m 31 now). I live in ptown and talk to guys in Boston on tinder. Was talking to a guy for about a week who is my type. I asked if he wanted to FaceTime tonight and he said sure but caveated that he isn’t into long distance (ptown to Boston) and that we would most likely stick to chatting. Idk what’s wrong with me. Everyone tells me I’m a catch but guys I’m attracted to are never into me 😭 just needed to vent

Hello! I’ve previously only dated white guys. While in quarantine I’ve gone on dil mil and made an effort with brown guys on apps. Surprised to find that many live at home or visit home often in mid 20s, are not financially independent, cannot cook for themselves etc. Is this typical? Or maybe it’s just the area I live in. Sorry if this came off as offensive, it just seems to be a pattern I noticed

I went on a “date” recently. I paid for the tab as they were going to the bathroom.

I was hoping they’d offer to cover dessert since I covered lunch but it didn’t happen.

I am fine w/ paying but I was hoping the gesture would at least be presented… am I crazy?

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
