Agree with above; learn agency side and apply it on client side. It's not just the MBA part, but importantly learning to be a smart marketer. You have no idea how how much agency side insight, strategy and creative evaluation is needed (and appreciated, in my case.) Learn all you can; work alongside strategy and get your "strategic chops" first... you'll find it more satisfying.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
