Last I checked Portland had a lot of smaller, pretty dang creative shops. Am I wrong?

Nice! I have the same amount of experience. I want to love to PDX eventually as well, maybe in the next 2 years or so.

There are a LOT of small agencies. You need to get some contacts there. jobs are rarely posted. also has some good recruiting firms. I got a full time job through one when I moved there. Should also say most work is in sneakers (Nike or Adidas)

I know of several open positions - PM me at s.towers@bolywelch.com

Besides my PR work I am also a talent scout and I know of several opportunities here DOE. Contact me if you would be open to a conversation.

I'm curious too. I'm in pharmaceutical advertising working for NYC agency but live in Portland. I am curious if I will ever get to see anyone in person ever again haha. I am permanently remote unless I want to move to creative agency.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Hi everyone, I’m an architectural designer (from Europe) with 1.5 yrs experience. I’m working for a practice in San Francisco, full-time from the office, getting 25 an hour. It is so expensive to live here, I am struggling to make things work. Is this a normal salary for someone of my experience or should I ask for a raise? I don’t want to be greedy but it’s so expensive out here… Thank you 🌈
