Would you rather work on the best briefs in an above average agency or work on whatever you can at one of the best agencies in the world?

Whatever at the best agency. I want that name on my resume and I want to make connections at the better agency.

This is so close that other factors will affect the final decision. Pay, what are those briefs exactly, etc.

For me I think it’d boil down to the learning factor. IMO, you’d learn more at the best agency.

Best briefs at an average agency all day. I think most of us chose this line of work so we can make stuff we get excited about. Id even take less money if i really like the work and the people. Agency names are great but your book gets you jobs (along with your network of course).

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?

Please suggest , what is the possibility of the offer getting revise
