this industry’s obsession with the award-winning creative is my biggest ick.

we’re so obsessed with flashy we end up…

promoting people into managerial positions who completely lack people skills

or the ability to choose the CORRECT idea over the cannes one

stroking the ego of people with very little resilience or honesty when faced with the fact that not everything they put on a slide is god‘s gift to creativity.

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?
