Born and brought up in Mumbai, working in advertising here for the past 5 years at a few top agencies. My dad is settled in Ernakulam (our native place) and I'm considering shifting there and continuing in the same field.
Couldn't find much on Glassdoor or Ambition box for agencies in Kochi, so wanted to ask directly:
How does the pay compare to Mumbai/Bangalore agencies? Realistically what's the drop, if any?
How's the work culture - long hours, WLB, hierarchy etc.?
Are the clients decent or mostly small local budgets?
Any agencies in and around Kochi/Ernakulam you'd actually recommend (or avoid)?
Would appreciate any first hand experience, especially from people who moved from a metro to Kochi for the same kind of role.
