Shit. Literally the entire job market in advertising is all in NYC again. Looks like I shouldn't have moved away when I did. The bets were placed on black in the COVID gamble, and its red for us big city refugees I guess... (I'm stuck now, I can never move back with my young fam). All jokes aside, doesn't it feel like the rest of the country just vanished for Ad jobs? Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis, Miami, LA even (more than the rest sure). Boston is literally completely dead. WTF happened?

Saw a post recently where quite a few people suggested beta blockers for presentation anxiety. Interested in trying them out but wanted to see if there were any specific types (e.g. propranolol) people had tried and found particularly bad/good for side effects etc. Thanks for any advice.

For those of you who jumped and went brand side, did you pay to have your resume ATS optimized? If so, what did you pay? I'm being courted by a major brand, but being told that my ad agency resume needs to be ATS optimized to move forward.

Dilemma. Should I: 1. Stay put: great agency name, big fun clients, lower pay, no promotion in sight for at least a year. 2. Jump: senior title, $40K raise, agency is okay but not top-tier, clients are meh for now but could rotate onto better ones after a few months.

While I’m sure he’s qualified, a 9 month process interviewing 100+ people for your head of strategy sounds like you’re a nightmare place to work. I want to believe they were respectful of people and let people know right away if they weren’t advancing, but in this industry, that’s too uncommon.
