I don't have personal experience but I guess the few places that are frequently talked about are tbwa/hakuhodo, wieden, dentsu, ogilvy and akqa?

Heard some unsavory things about AKQA there on a LinkedIn post

Dentsu and Hakuhodo runs the monopoly of media - typically creative agencies that are not under them have it hard. Unless, connections

Depends what 'best' means. There's some incredible creative shops (and not just WK) but they will always be small players to the monopoly of Dentsu and Hakuhado.

For the last three years I have seen my practice only promote white guys to senior managers even though a few of the main partners are Indians.

Anyone have multiple FT jobs? I'm looking about to land a new primary FT job, as my current job is very very slow, doesn't really have any projects for me, and could end at any time (with a 30 day notice).
Where there any legal issues? (The two companies area in different industries so no competition). How did you manage both? The new company knows I'm still employed, should I quit the first or keep it as long as I can manage both? Any bad vibes or feelings of unprofessionalism? TIA
