Yes and you might find you like it enough to want to be a partner too. Can’t predict what path you’ll ultimately follow, but if it feels like a good interest and cultural fit, why not give it a try.

Yes 100%. Your options will be more limited - you most likely wont get as many offers for large public companies but you can easily get a controller position in a private company

Hello Fishes

Recently i was scheduled for an EY GDS interview on 5th of November but no one showed up and interview did not take place , what is it mean?

Hi, new to this bowl.

Looking for a new role leading a PM and/or ops team. I'm an agency (media & creative) vet - depth in digital, crm, creative, tech, data, & process dev/deploy.

Have also worked ~4 years transforming / running ops at Kimbery-Clark's Digital COE and ~a year on web & digital projects at NYU Langone Medical Center.

Do IH agencies have substantial PM teams / need for leadsrship? I know many need operations & process enhancement.

Any specific roles on anyone's radar?

Thx!
