Who takes longer to get up to speed when they replace someone on a brand, an account person or a strat? I feel like it's account but I'm curious what people's experience is.

Account USED to be Strat. Now they are just “yes” people.

From an account person, there’s usually no real onboarding. Most times account inherits a poorly run system or no system at all and is on their heels from day 1. Basically, thrown into a dumpster fire.
There isn’t anything they can refer to like previous briefs or style guide etc. from day 1 you’re on your own..

No offence but who cares?

Probably account because they’re the ones maintaining the relationship between the agency and client, and it’s harder to learn people than it is to learn what makes people want to buy something.

Yeah not sure what productive conversation this question will lead to…

How am I expected to bill 1900 hours when I only have 8 cases and when I ask for work no one responds. I even asked the partner in person for work and he said he was slow and didn’t have anything for me.This month I’ve only billed 80 hrs. Its making me anxious because I don’t want to get fired for low hours but also I’m a first year so will they have some mercy on me? Lol

I am an associate at a UMM and my employment contract has a 4 month non compete (yes, even for associates) but I am thinking of lateraling. What are the implications of breaking a non compete? I didn’t say anything when I signed because I was desperate for a PE offer but it seems so unfair as I am just a lowly associate. I am not so much worried about getting sued, but about my current employer tanking my reputation if I leave and break the non compete.
