Publicis Milan is the only international place I can think of. They do Heineken and Diesel

I’m half Italian. Never worked there but I’m always visiting. Agencies are very local. Creatives are nationalists. They protect their way of life and thinking. Foreigners are not very appreciated. But some smaller shops are getting a international vibe

Have a friend in publicis Milan who calls it a sweatshop, apparently many feel that way but ymmv 🤷‍♀️

I've had some experience and found it to be hit or miss. Work is high level, salary is below zero. Obviously you're getting helrhcare and pension, in the short-term you're getting nothing.

Hi Fishes,
I have overall experience of 5yrs. Out of which 3years for US healthcare and 2 years for US mortgage. US mortgage domain has now become thinner as industry almost sunk since most of the companies has laid off employees, I was also the victim. Fortunately, got an opportunity to work Optum but heard rumours about the lay-off in our entire process which is creating a frustration and negativity all around. Please refer me if there's any relevant opening in backhend operations. Thanks!
