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.

Looking for potential roles in PDX. Posting a redacted resume. The heading on this resume is for customer solutions professional, but I am also really great with data entry and very tech savvy.

I also have a lot healthcare experience. Ping me!

Not sure if it would make sense. Advice?

How do you think about carried interest as a factor in total comp? Getting 69bps (memelord GPs) in a $420M (see above) fund, which vests over 8 years. It’s a new fund, so won’t be paid out until liquidation 5-7 years later.

Assuming I stay at the fund for two years, and the fund returns 3x, that’s 300k (obviously subject to big change depending on my tenure & returns). When benchmarking against other offers, how should this be valued? Is TC 450k (300k salary/bonus + 150k carry), or less?
