So I'm all for agencies responding to things about them with humility and a sense of humor (God forbid in this corporate hellscape, especially at Ogilvy lol) but Mischief's response to the Mischief rumor thread feels like an intern reading off a slide

I live in NYC and recently started interviewing for positions in VA. On average, the offers are higher than the ones I’ve received in NY. I have 11 years of experience, worked for Google, AOL and a VC firm. Does tech companies in Northern VA provide higher comps on average vs NYC?

Remember that these people asked Allah first, and Allah gave them your address for you to help them.

What odd questions about your job did you get at the xmas / Hanukkah table?

Any agencies that have a good reputation, but suck when you actually work there? Wonder why that happens?

I recently cleared all technical rounds for Global Technical Support Engineer 2 role at PayPal, I have 3.3 YOE. Could anyone please let me know how much does PayPal on average offer for this role.

Is it normal for every single call (client or internal) everyone dials in from their desks at an open format office? Everyone avoids takings calls together/conference rooms like the plague.

Just got the shaft on a regular component to the clients business, how can I handle next steps?

Client removes all copy in ads re: product description or product benefits due to pending legal review. Removes visuals of product doing its job. Blames agency that ads aren’t driving traffic/sales

I think I’m finally burnt out on agency life. What’s a logical next step? Freelance? In-house? A new career all together?

Pros and cons of working on an auto brand?

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

How do you politely tell a recruiter that you do not offer “holds”

Audi ad is MVP so far

I've seen quite a few people make jokes about being "aged out" of advertising. Could someone please explain what that looks like and when that typically happens? Forgive the dumb question, I'm a newbie to the industry so I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't agencies want people with more experience?

I got my degree in Graphic Design this January, and I’m currently a PR intern in an advertising agency. What salary should I expect for an Assistant Account Executive role?

People didn’t hate advertising when it was about creativity and not technology. Just saying.

Hiring managers and recruiters: a lot of well-respected schools (Harvard, BC, Cornell, Penn State, MIT) now have pretty robust online programs. Contd

So WFH is a thing now. I spent the last 4 years building my copywriter career in nyc, got some cool shit in my portfolio. But let’s say I wanna move back home, can I still get freelance/full time gigs from nyc while I live back home?

Coworker (we’re the same level) has a tendency to use “I” statements and then proceeds to present the entire deck that we both contributed to equally…. So annoyed. How to get across to our bosses that I worked on it too?

Marcel here. So instead of talking behind my back, how about saying it to my face? Here I am, ready to answer questions, concerns, or just talk sports. So what would you like to know? 🤖
