To clarify: talking about The Wonderful Agency. Not just a wonderful agency.

Use it as leverage and if they won't match, still GO. Personally I work to live, I don't live to work. Yeah career satisfaction and all that but we work in ADVERTISING--not curing cancer. We don't have to be that good at our job. Even if you do it for six months or a year, tops, you'll make so much for savings or whatever. Plus, do most people ever speak highly of the agency they left? Not that I've run into. I've heard horror stories and recruiter "don't goes" about a bunch of agencies. I went. It wasn't that bad. Or it was, and I made my exit when I could. And none of them gave me a 30k bump.

My coworker came to us from Wonderful. They tried to counter when he left and he turned down a title bump and 30K just to be able to leave. He has tons of horror stories...

I've heard super negative things about Wonderful. Met with an established LA agency recruiter and she recommended not even to send my resume there even though there was a position I was super interested in. Lots of internal issues that have gone unresolved for years. Issues between it being an in-house agency for the business side of Wonderful Co. so competing ideas on who is "right" and makes final call on the marketing - the in house agency teams and execs, or the Wonderful Co business stakeholders... I wouldn't go...

@Strat 1, because those of us that are good at our job care more about being somewhere that will let us continue being good at our job. 30k might motivate a haphazard hack, though.

Depends on what the opportunity is. If it's just about money then yeah do it, but if you're happy where you are at, use it as leverage for a counter

Yes.

Wait. Applying or they made you an offer?

They've made an offer. I'm at an agency I like, but not producing much. Was ready to accept offer, until I heard a few horror stories. Curious if anyone has heard otherwise...

When they offer a ton it's a sign that no one else will go and they have to lure you in

Best clarification ever. And how much are you making that $30 K more isn't enough to leave??

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.

Freelancers, do you actually benefit from having an S Corp? Assume someone is earning about $100k in 1099s and $150k in W9s. Everyone says “oh get an s corp for taxes” but does it ACTUALLY help lower your taxes? (Also, can you get ALL 1099s if you bill through your s corp and does THAT help?)

Facebook is hot garbage but I’m pretty sure 0 out of the 11000 were making those decisions. So why are you upset about it? Urgh. Y’all are weird.
