Since last job in January. I have gone through the interview, accepted, finish onboarding. Reached out to other companies/recruiters I was interviewing with and let them know that I accepted an offer elsewhere. And now for the 5th time I've been told day before starting a new job that they aren't filling the position anymore due to budget/restructuring. Hat in hand to the ones I turned down only for them to say they hired someone.

At this point there should be some way to pursue compensation?

If there was specific language your signed employment contract that guaranteed a certain start date or length of work, or if you can prove financial hardship from quitting your previous job for this one, you might have a legal case. Otherwise "at-will" employment applies.

I see people claim that “advertising is dead” all the time...

Not sure why people seem to think this!

Whats your opinion on the current state and future of advertising?

OK, so, right now I make a helluva lot, but I think I wanna make a bloody helluva lot because that seems to be what I should do - and what many of you do, as well. So, I wanna know from you super lotters what threshold I need to reach to fill the dark and empty void and be consumed and enveloped in the warm embrace of self-satisfaction and peace of mind. Please depict this value in terms of a recognizable sum, like avg yrly Swiss household expenditure per capita or Lambos.
