Totally depends on the company and team you end up on. For example, I worked in-house at one of the mag7 and my team functioned exactly like an ad agency. Only we were upstream to information and you usually end up with a lot less pomp and circumstance compared the ass kissing agencies do. But I was one of 3k employees on the marketing team so some people had muchhh different (worse) experiences just based on the history of their team, their teammates and where they sat in the system.

TLDR: it’ll probably be better pay, hours and they’ll treat you like more of an adult. But there’s all sorts of other BS you might run into like any other job so you need to sift for that during the interview process. No job is perfect but in house may likely be much better

I had question, when we apply for a job in another country, they usually ask a question “Are you legally allowed/eligible to work in that country”

In such a case, do you select yes or no? What is the criteria to answer that question?

Please help!

A good friend of mine graduated from Parsons this past summer, has degrees in Journalism and French, is a talented photographer and designer (which I feel I have a pretty decent eye for after working at a design-driven branding agency for half a decade). And I’m certain she’d make a fabulous junior AD or content strategist. Unfortunately she, like many in this pandemic, is still without a job. Any advice for her and/or shops/hiring managers/non-traditional job hunt tips to steer her towards?
