I spoke with one of those clients 2 years ago...the head of marketing at McDonald’s demanded a bespoke unit, then quit, then the new marketing team hated it and has wanted out ever since. The single client agency is a sham and is on its way out.

What do you mean the fall of them ? I saw a job posting for We Are Unlimited this week

Good for them, otherwise they would’ve been too limited for their name’s sake.

it's always been a bad idea. these are just two big screen ups, but smaller one-client agencies have been opening and failing for years and years.

never, ever take a job at one. unless you're the top dog and are getting PAID to do it.

Kind of a strange question, as the “one client model” has never really never been a constant and there’s only ever been a handful of notable examples.

Being in the bay area competition for these roles can be a bit tough. Any tips or tricks?

Hi All,

I am 12 yoe, working at a very stable product based organisation (not NEC).
But I want to switch to a better role & compensation.

I got an offer from Thoughtworks GGN as a lead consultant. Being a mother, I have anxiety about joining TW, since it is service based.

1. Bcoz of the recession and hiring is not for specific project, is it the right time to join TW or is it risky w.r.t job security?
2. How flexible is TW for WFH or it depends on the client?
3. How is WLB?

Please help..

I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
