Thoughts on Ogilvy Chicago, and more specifically the global SCJ account? Sounds like there’s been some re-orgs at Ogilvy and I’m curious what the culture & day to day looks like at the Chicago office.

Very stable team that does good work. Global has its own set of challenges because of time zones, but the team is really kind and nothing is ever that urgent. Just remember to use your pto because no one ever does.

SCJ is a classic CPG account to get trained on. You will work hard, and learn a lot. Don’t stay more than 2 years.

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.

I have experience in TMT, retail, Energy and Utility and other industries. Currently I'm living in Eastern Europe.
