What are the best ways to find tech creative roles? I’m currently on the agency side and find it very confusing to find roles that mirror or fit my current agency role on the tech side. Any tips on how to navigate the search or who in the organizations I should reach out to? 🙏

I’ve bounced back and forth between agencies and in-house over the past few years and am having a hard time understanding your struggle. What is it about your current role that makes it more unique to agencies?

I’ve found that job descriptions often paint an inaccurate picture. Just apply if you find it even mostly appealing.

Typically the best way to get in is either through a referral from someone you know who works there, or from working with them via the agency side and they happen to open up a role internally. Otherwise for big tech companies try reaching out to “sourcers” or “talent researchers” rather than recruiters since they usually have those functions separated. You can reach out to CDs too but those rarely reply.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
