Would love to meet people in the NYC ad world. I'm planning to visit New York in 2026 to network and find ways to collaborate in Animation/vfx. I know it isn't easy for someone from outside the US to work with NYC-based agencies, especially knowing how tough the competition must already be within those circles. But it's my dream, call it Hollywood influence, to visit NY and work with bright and creative minds, I'll be visiting from the Nordics.

Thanks, yes, definitely doing that.

You should come in the spring, even if you can’t afford the AICP ticket(s), everyone is usually out and about. Also, I personally like the DGA new directors showcase at the DGA theater on West 57th St, which is free, and I’m always surprised that more people don’t go. That says the last few times I’ve been, it’s been busy. Just a nice socializing event and all the Reps are there of course, (scouring for new talent to sign).

Ever since I've put my resignation a different kind of fear is there in my head.

But then I wasn't able to manage my sleep schedule, work and classes daily. At the end I was hospitalized because my body gave up.

Its better to take calculated risks than regret for your whole life.

Thoughts?

Interesting thing which happened here is iam cracking each every product based interviews now after my tough preparation for Amazon and getting higher packages than what Amazon would give. So whatever happens , happens for good. Cheers Amazon

3L with mostly A’s and B’s. I am having the worst luck trying to find work for after school and my experience working with lawyers has left me completely dejected. I cannot get an interview to save my life. I was so excited to get an externship summer after 2L with a small business and IP firm only to get yelled at on the phone a few times for not doing an assignment correctly. Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.
