Would you join a small agency in Toronto, Canada for a decent salary and partnership opportunity? Is the market is good? Any tips and insights about the Canadian market?
I’m from Europe. Have just an okay offer in NYC and a good one from Toronto.

Toronto can be tough creatively. Budgets are tiny compared to NYC, and a lot of clients are conservative and risk-averse. It really depends on the agency, though, and the good smaller agencies are more likely to have clients willing to take creative risks.

You could also try asking in the Ad fish in Toronto bowl, and feel free to DM me.

Sounds like anywhere tbh

Stop thinking about the agency for a minute. Think about the city. What do you feel in your gut? A lifelong dream to live in the biggest city in the US- the famous NYC.. or read up on Toronto, does it’s size or vibe offer you more. Just saying agencies are rarely predictable, but cities are more so.

A lot would depend on the agency tbh so can’t comment on that… but having lived in both cities I will say Toronto/Canada is a better place to live.

What’s the agency? I work in Toronto so I could give some insight. Feel free to DM too.

I love Canada

Which agency in Canada? That’ll have an impact for sure

I'll take it if you don't want it.
What's the agency?

What sid lee 1 said is spot on, that is why it really depends on the agency. But it’s also true of the agency and also the account in nyc. There are so many conservative and lame pieces of business even in seemingly good agencies. Some of those do have budgets though.

Been working in Big 4 FDD for a little under two years, interviewing past 2-3 months for FDD, strategy, and IB. Received an offer from a MM FDD group for a 25% pay bump, but mainly looking to pivot out as I’ve burned out of FDD and want to move into a more finance focused role. Currently moved into second rounds at a senior strategy role for a F500 and case study stage for two boutique IB’s.

Would it be dumb to turn down the guaranteed FDD role and see how the others turn out?

Shout out to the ECDs who tell you to build a deck in any format as there is no template. So you choose Google Slides, not because you love it, but you want it to be universal.

Then a few days later they send you the Planner’s version, or worse, their own version in any other format (Keynote or PowerPoint usually) and tell you to redo all 47 of your slides to fit the new layout.

Should I have asked if there was a template? Oh that’s right, I did.
