You will experience a lot of BS. A lot of toxic people. Career jumpers who don’t really care about the craft or work. Lazy people. People putting work in their book they should not. People somehow being credited on awards for doing little to nothing. Lots of BS as I said.
Don’t be those people and don’t let them influence your hard work. Stay focused on why you came into the industry. Fun creative work and hustle.
Also, just be nice and help others.

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners. We are required to bill at least 150 hours per month to meet our requirement. My months are typically only 110-130 hours. It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.

What's Your Take?:

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.

A couple of ppl in my previous agency, saw a competitor acct try a very interesting idea that we thought was cool — but their execution was super localized, in europe, and was not even done to its fullest potential. So, they didnt get ANY press (just like two articles from random websites). Fast forward and Im at another agency, thinking that now more than ever, that idea could be done better. Is it fair game?
