With all the layoffs happening in Silicon Valley, will there be a glut of digitally-oriented creatives breaking down the doors to get hired at traditional agencies? Will we hire them?

Lol. I’d sooner apply to work at Subway than go back to an agency.

Tech folks know their worth. Agencies will never pay that.

Gross.

If that happens look for wages to drop. There will be a glut of workers.

They can freelance and get another tech job again. There are heaps of tech companies.

The question is whether another tech company can provide the same WLB, pay, and benefits the employees are used to. Not all tech is equal. And not all tech have the same reputation and optics as FAANG. Nobody puts "ex-Juniper Networks" on their LinkedIn 🤔

I thought that was the appeal. If creatives want to do vanilla work, I'm sure there are agencies with better WLB doing that kind of work.

In tech and corporate they have prestige. Probably not in agencies.

LOL good one.

What is a good interview answer for leaving a job after a few months when the real reason is that you’re sleeping with one eye open in hopes of not being on the chopping block after two rounds of massive layoffs? Company culture is at an all-time low, and it will only go down from here from what I’ve seen in the short months I’ve been there.

Has anyone taken part of the education reimbursement program? I’ve been here for 4 years and I’m thinking of obtaining my Master’s in Organizational Leadership, but I feel like with this merger, if I started the program and then there are layoffs or too many new hires, or work just becomes overwhelming, I wouldn’t be able to complete my program. I’m already wearing multiple hats when it comes to work. Does anyone have insight on how it works/what it’s like? Thanks in advance!
