Hi. I am desperate to change jobs. I have two offer in hands: Deloitte Hyderbad on a contract basis with 15% hike and KPMG Bangalore FTE with 25% hike. I like Deloitte as a brand better.

Which one should I take? Please help me decide.

Sounds like an ambush!

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Ummm serious question

How many clients/brands should an agency copywriter be working on each week? I'm working on 5-6 per week. Everything from scripts, to rationales, to viewbooks and websites tbh.

I feel like lm working on 10-11 clients a month. Is this normal?

I totally understand the hustle of emailing people you don’t know to create opportunities. I just don’t understand why obscure vendors email creatives rather than production 🤦🏻‍♂️

What programs, sites, etc does your agency use to track time? I work at a small agency and looking to implement tracking on my team across client/project level.

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?

How do you handle remote teams being in different time zones? Right now we have a ton of team leaders on the west coast with the core team on the east coast and because of that urgent requests keep coming down after hours with the expectation to address it immediately. So at this point we’re working from 8am until like 11pm and nobody knows what to do to push back on it

Want to get your opinions on the best small agencies in LA in terms of work produced (media and creative)
