I’d say there are too many variables at play - the agency, role, how badly they need the role staffed, internal decision making, etc.

Usually takes time 3+ months. At least if you're being picky and waiting for the right opportunity.

My last one was a month and it was at the VP level. and some of that was just aligning schedules. it was a small shop - they moved quickly. less red tape. decision makers didn’t need 100 rounds of approval from holding companies.

Depends on the level. For me, as a Jr, it was within weeks. As a CD, months. My last GCD gig, almost 6 months. More money + more responsibility = Greater risk. So companies spend the time to minimize risk and make the decision. The wrong decision can be very costly for them too.

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

Hello hive mind. I am currently interviewing with three agencies. Pretty far along with two of them. One of the positions is a Jr. copywriter position while the other two are just for a copywriter. How important would it be to not have the “Jr” before the title? Personally, I don’t care about the title, but wonder about future employer’s?
