Plus agencies have matching levels of openings in different groups or different brands. It’s probably just a matter of slotting you in the right job.

There may be multiple positions open across different accounts. They want to see which account is best fit. Or if you’re a good fit for the agency in general. Good luck

What would possibly be the benefit to them by stringing you along? Wasting their own time setting up meetings w/you? Ur fuckin mint, don't worry so much.

Also to add to the above notes, often times when there are open roles, new biz wins, etc. it gives department heads the opportunity to shift existing staffing around.

So hypothetically the agency just won Hershey’s and Hershey’s has a senior strategist position open on their staff plan, it doesn’t necessarily mean the new hire will be on Hershey’s. Department heads may take the moment to look at their department to see if a currently employed senior strat that’s worked on another piece of business for a while is ready for a change up (which means they’re unsure if you’ll work on Hershey’s or the old Sr strats account), they may see if a current mid level is ready for a promo to move into that role (which means they need to hire for mid vs senior).

Depending on why the role is open and the state of affairs in the rest of the department, a larger shift and stitching together of different puzzle pieces might be happening. Nothing bad, but truly just can’t tell you until those pieces get fit together

Has anyone been the position where a recruiter submitted you to a law firm and then someone you know in the same firm (but not really well) reached out to you asking if they can submit you? This happened to me today with a V20 and I’m wondering how to navigate this.

I don’t have much experience on the back end of product management but have extensive experience in front end development/user experience.

Any tips on breaking into the Product Management field? I have a call with a recruiter next week to discuss their open Product Management roles.

Working on a long term brand platform, which had the potential to be a really stellar, powerful body of work.

Sadly, it's being driven into the ground so hard by stakeholders that I have no love left for it. It's slowly becoming an embarrassment.

How do you go about this? Do you just swallow your pride and just take the paycheck? Try to fight for it tooth and nail while you still can?
