What are some actual exit ops from cbd at ibm. I’ve been here for a year and it’s sad to say I haven’t learned that much. Just gotten soft office skills and got good at my simple tasks

Recently made the jump from SAD to ACD. At my last agency I was sorta playing the role of managing others, but now that it’s official there is a whole bunch of new things to learn and take on. Advice?

I was given a verbal offer and then the media agency lost an account before I could sign an offer letter. Now there is a temporary hiring freeze. Is there any hope? I’m really sad about this.

I look at the jobs on LinkedIn and get sad because I don't see anything that ever interest me and I fear I will get stuck in public accounting without an exit plan.

Invest by MarketCap Crypto Strategy
Ok all letme know what you think of this strategy....its sad but the top 50 S&P stocks hav outperformed every single hedge fund out there managed by impressive Ivy League Managers. (I say lets hang these useless financial wizard banksters)..Follow this same line of thinking and apply to Cryptos...I suspect some survival of the fittest theory working here. ....All you have to do is invest in the top 10 crypto currencies by Market Cap and hold your position for short to mid term. Long term ie 5 to 10 years, I feel this market will mature and all the bubbles will deflate. To see top ten either go to Cryptomarketcap or go install the Crypto Tracker app from play store...As of 12/26/17... Top Cryptos by market cap:1. BTC. 2.ETH 3.Btc cash 4. Ripple xrp 5.LTC 6. Cardano/AdA 7. Iota 8.Dash 9.xem 10.Monero XMR

Tips on negotiating an offer? Percentage increase if the role is a step up? (e.g. Senior Art Director?) I'm always scared of them not wanting me enough and retracting the offer

So I just got offered a Sr. art director position in Shenzhen, China for a company's international business. The salary is about $300,000. It makes me sad that I can't relocate as of now.

Who's hiring Senior Art Director in town?

Gave notice last week. Thought long & hard about the move, was pumped about the new role (still am)- but now I'm heartbroken and SAD, mostly about leaving the people. Wine is helping. What else? 😢

Does anyone else find it sad that we work obscene hours with the hopes of finding an "exit opportunity"? What other profession has such a concept? Imagine if public was actually more bearable 🤔

You know what is kind of sad? I've now learned that this one SM I have looked up to for the last year is kind of a mess. Nobody is perfect. Time for a new role model. Oh well

Anyone looking for a Senior Art Director? Who is hiring right now?

Feeling conflicted about wanting to leave my current company of a year where I feel I’m underpaid (despite praise from managers), though I love my coworkers and (sometimes) the work/clients. I know I can make a lateral jump somewhere else to make more, and I don’t want to get left behind in this hot market. I would be really sad to leave my current role, but really want/need more money. Anyone else going through this?

My manager friend (not my manager) at work is leaving for another position in another country. It's sad because everyone else at work sucks

Just got a rejection after a final round interview for a company and role I was really interested in. Feeling sad and dejected, and thinking about going through a whole interview process from scratch with other companies feels overwhelming. :( I was also hoping to secure something by end of September as that’s when my lease ends and I’m looking to relocate to a different city, so the time pressure and uncertainty is killing me. Just need some positivity.

Just got my exit offer, approx. 30% increase in TC to work for a pre-IPO tech company with better WLB and growth opportunity. At D, I feel overworked and underpaid / underleveles.

But I am sad to leave my team and will weirdly miss this place. Stockholm syndrome?

How long did it take you to get into a senior position (e.g., senior strategist, senior art director, etc.)? Please include all years of experience including internships.

Got an offer for a great industry role that I really want to accept, but the thought of leaving my firm makes me so sad and sentimental. Amazing memories, amazing people....how do I get over this?!

I’m in a process for customer engineer at Google Cloud. Already had role related, GCA, presentation and Googliness/leadership interviews. Recruiter got back a couple of days after and scheduled the 1st team introduction last week. I have the second one next Tuesday. Does it mean I got “approved” by the HC and now it’s a matter of finding the right team? Could it end up on a sad “we didn’t find a perfect fit this time”? What are your thoughts?

I’ve decided to stop answering calls from this rude attorney (not from my firm) because I noticed on emails he’s very cordial but then on the phone, takes advantage of my junior status and chastises me (and not the partner) for our client’s position and it sets me in a terrible mood. He also doesn’t leave voicemails or follow up emails so it’s purely just to let out his aggression at someone who has no control over the situation. I will not let some sad stranger ruin my weekends anymore!!

Is it sad to exit as IC/ non SM/director type roles as M in D?

I'm a doer, I truly don't enjoy project managing or people managing. I do however want to grow in my career.

Am I making a mistake exiting into industry as an IC?

Connecting with an alum to discuss a role to find out the role is already filled. Sad day - just can’t find a break. Guess I’ll continue to check their portal to see if another role opens up!

I accepted a new position that has a title bump and salary increase but am feeling weirdly sad about leaving KPMG. I loved the people I worked with and the firm, but unfortunately just can’t ever seem to get to that next level (despite being rated as performing at the next level two years in a row). Hoping I can find the same connections at my new firm.
