I got the offer today. I will be signing the paperwork next week. What's this about?
Well, quick story is , for those who know, I was let go about two months ago. I spent two weeks making 0 dollars. And then a Creative agency called and wanted to help me find a job. They found me a spot freelancing for (wait for it...) DGWB Advertising. The experience for the past month and a half has been unbelievable and exciting. I have moved down a bit, title wise, but have made a giant leap forward in my career!! Well the past week we've been in discussions to make it a permanent thing. And today the deal was made.
I got the job at DGWB!! Soon you'll be seeing stuff I'm working on in the major advertising publications.
How sweet is that?
Thanks to everyone on this forum who have helped shape my design craft from the first day I found you all!!

DGWB is one of the biggies in Advertising. In Orange County (California's OC not Florida's) They are consistently in the top 10, and every year they get loads of awards and accolades. So, no more fly by night operations in shady "office" locations for me!!

no thank you. I interviewed there about a year or two ago and was not very comfortable with their attitude on branding ( no offense if you work there/ own there, etc... ). :)
But thanks for the words of gratitude.
Lucky bastidge! :(
Okay, fine.... Congratulations. There, I said it. :p

Carter! That's such great news and that name is seems familiar to me, but I can't place it. I'll have to look it up and keep my eye out for how I know it.
Are you already working there then? Enjoy the ride!

tea,
yeah I've been freelancing there for a month and a half. They have a lot of good large accounts (kfc, yamaha, toshiba, wienerschnitzel, etc...)
Plus, it has the greatest atmosphere I've ever been a part of.
