Where would you go? VML or IPG health? This would be for a medical role. Or follow the $$?

ipg is becoming omnicom and omnicom will probably cut jobs after the merger

This is the right answer

i left IPG for VML and regret it (nearly) every day. yes IPG is being acquired but WPP is AI crazy and i’m pretty sure their plan is to replace as many jobs with AI as possible. there seems to be layoffs at each WPP agency every other week.

unfortunately i don’t think any agency is safe from layoffs in the current climate

IPGHealth is a leader in the field for a reason. It's a beast and may be the only safe/the safest sector of IPG post-acquisition. There's way more room for mobility.

There is also a pretty signficant hiring freeze on senior positions and lots of anxiety about looming Q4 bloodbath. OMC, too.

I just started at IPG Health, I’ll take my chances with a layoff but hope it won’t come to that. VML always gave me bad vibes, I’ve been ghosted by them twice and the one role I interviewed for last year is still active on their careers page.

Following the $ doesn't work if you get laid off a couple months into the gig. VML.

So, I landed a Customer Service Advisor job at Sitel in the UK. But I heard that they fire you without any prior notice or end their campaigns abruptly, leaving us with no job. Can’t be facing the risk of no livelihood, right? Can anyone who worked with Sitel give me the real truth? And does Sitel sponsor Tier 2 Visas as such? I am surely looking for stability, security and growth.
