Planning would be more creative than account management.

Planning is typically more creative. It can vary by agency; in small ones, sometimes account managers wear may hats. How big is your agency? Would you be leaving it to go somewhere else with this role?

Yes I would be switching agency and it is pretty big agency. Looks very organized so very rare a chance I would be working on different projects.

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?
