Would it be out of line during interviews to ask about agency revenue/growth or account health/trends?

Totally fine to ask about agency growth and overall health, especially if it’s relevant to the role you’re interviewing for. Don’t expect them to share any real revenue numbers though. And specifics by account are a little less kosher.

Remember, first and foremost you’re interviewing to work for the agency, not a specific client, even if there’s a client name talked about.

Ladies how do you manage your relationship when your spouse holds you to what you promised you would do before you got married but then you realize you can’t do it. I had promised my husband I would fast with him for an entire day on a specific religious holiday, but when I did for the first time I had stomach pains, headache, and nausea. I told him I can’t do it for that long again but he said “we’ll see, you just need to push through”.
