@MP2 more security at places like that, but extremely high quotas depending on what product team you work on (i.e. selling enterprise cloud functionality is different than trying to sell Doubleclick/advertising suite products).

Yes, what OMD1 said. And I’ve heard those companies don’t pay as well as other vendors, because the “sell” is easier. You’re basically guaranteed an investment because those companies and their products pretty much sell themselves.

Money, and if you love to socialize and don’t mind kissing the asses of assistant buyers, then absolutely go for it.

Just be prepared for most of your income to be driven by a performance-based bonus, and for potentially worse job security than the agency world. Mergers and acquisitions are never ending.

Wow. Is it really just the money? Is the work better? Less hours or anything like that?

Thanks @VP2. What if you were to go to a larger company like a Facebook, Google, etc. still less job security?

My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off. We plan on having kids within the next year or two, and it’s highly u likely that she’ll be able to keep her current gig. We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?

I’m curious to hear how agencies are structuring their media fees (10%? 15%? 20%!? of spend) Any performance bonus structures? Would love context too. Platforms you’re responsible for? (Fb only? Google & Fb? Emerging platforms?) KPIs? (Awareness/impressions vs. Full funnel d2c) Scope? (Buy and plan vs. Creative AND buying planning). Curious to learn how others’ have evolved their agreements. Thanks in advance for sharing!
