Think I might be too slow to realize this. But did FCB West go out of business last year?

Not sure if they entirely closed but they certainly laid off their entire production department in SF

Yikes 😬 I just randomly saw all the creatives there were there are now gone. Including the ECD and CDs. Probably lost their main client or something 🤔

Yes, and my understanding is those who were left were absorbed into FCB North America

Aww kinda sad. The ad agency industry in SF isnt doing too well 🙁

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?

Does anyone have any mock trial programs they’ve participated in outside of their firms that they would recommend?

Do tech companies in Canada give out RSUs or equivalent?

Wondering if there are similar opportunities in Canada or is it less common to receive a decent amount of equity here?
