Anirudh! Dont worry, jump into it!

I know people earning salary in every price bracket upto about a crore a year. It really depends on your persevernece (salary grows faster than rabbits in advertising) and HANG AROUND!

[Vigyapan Sipahi]

no jobs for freshers? find that a little difficult to believe. or is it that you are not getting a good package?

[anirudh1986]

well don't know why I keep hitting this forum in sporadic bumps.. .. well guess what, I am still where I was 3 months ago. Same company, same job. Honestly speaking, when I didn't have a job, it was easy thinking that whenever i'll get a call from an agency, I wouldn't think twice. But know, when I have been working in a totally different filed for quite a long period of time, I really don't know what I want exactly.


last week, i got a mail from an agency in Delhi who were willing to try me based on my portfolio that I had mailed them about 3 months back(nice timing jackass). Now that I am really getting a hang of things here, I don't really know where I am headed. The pay they are offering is peanuts compared to what I am getting here. But since the last few nights, I have been drinking and thinking( well more drinking, less thinking..ok ok..only drinking.. ) and I felt that I missed out on a chance to satiate my creativity.

what should I do guys? I mean generally, how do I decide? money or satisfsaction?

how do I know that taking the plunge now will end in me drowning or emerging victorious at the other bank?

I know its a long rant and thank all 3 of you who have read this far ( ), but really ppl, I don't know where I am going....

[anirudh1986]

p.s - I know its lame to post again but whatever


are there any agencies now paying good money to peaople like me? Dumb but honest question..

[silly lily]

hi anirudh.. how about posting some of your thoughts/work here? did u follow someone above's advice and try and better an existing ad before walking into an agency? if u did, let's see it. then maybe we could have a fresher viewpoint on your case? (and i think, if you are even remotely good, you should try and pursue a career in advertising.. since u still haunt this forum even though u r still not in advertising)

[Priyanka]

hi anirudh! agencies ARE paying good money. Are you speaking to them?
