Two Qs: 1.) How does your agency go about promotions? 2.) What’s your promotion cycle flow...2x a year or 1x a year? Seeing less and less transparency under WPP...

Half of the WPP opcos don’t see promotions or raises for years at a time-unless you are an individual outlier and favorite.

I worked at a WPP agency for a year and didn’t see a single promotion in my office. 🤷🏼‍♂️

That’s frustrating. Curious if IPG and Omnicom are as bad as WPP.

Hi everyone, I’m an architectural designer (from Europe) with 1.5 yrs experience. I’m working for a practice in San Francisco, full-time from the office, getting 25 an hour. It is so expensive to live here, I am struggling to make things work. Is this a normal salary for someone of my experience or should I ask for a raise? I don’t want to be greedy but it’s so expensive out here… Thank you 🌈

And today, I found out I got a raise.

It’s too much going on the last few days.
