Took an interview with Mindshare (part of GroupM) and received an offer after one 45 minute interview. I feel nervous about what that says about the culture - yes, I have hireable skills but that seems really, really fast for an AD role.

Also nervous because I’m the only one who would be PDT based and it seems like they don’t have the remote/cultural infrastructure to support asynchronous work schedules.

The salary is aligned with what I asked for.

What would you do in this situation?

I received an offer from a WPP company after a 30 minute interview. I had two other competing offers and accepted WPP. Seems like they’re just in need of talent and they’ll jump on it when they see it

It looks like all of GroupM is like this - I think MediaCom is also only 1-2 interviews.

The rest of WPP does way more, though - so maybe it’s team or agency specific.

Interested to know if you ended up taking the job and if so your thoughts. I had the same experience and took the job.

I actually just accepted the job last week(ish)! I had a few more conversations with them about working hours and expectations, I got to know the team a bit better, etc., and now I’m feeling really good about starting work there. Plus, I had a scheduled surgery in the middle of all this and they were flexible and extended a standing offer for when I was able to start work again and I really appreciated how that reflected on their spoken value of being people-first.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?

Furthermore, is there a way to calculate the approx value of BTC demand once max supply is reached?
