Working parents in the ad business - how are you all doing? How’s the overall stress level and mental health these days?

What's the highest raise you ever got during a performance review?

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

I’m passionate about gaming and I’d love to join the industry, but I’m wary because of some horror stories I’ve heard about working with big developers. Has anyone here worked with a Triple-A studio?

Advice needed! Deadweight in the team that's stopping my progression & desire to work on more projects. Created a stale vibe as they have no drive for more. I don't want to leave but it's time, right?

My spirits are a bit low but I need to make some sales, and that's hard to do when my charisma is basically zero. Any advice on how to keep a stiff upper lip when you feel like you're going nowhere in your career?

I hate working on commission. I am a naturally shy person and approaching guests in our store is intimidating enough, it's even worse when some of my more socially savvy coworkers notice me trying to strike up a conversation with someone and they come in and literally steal my client from me.

Which is better long term. A job at a Big agency with big clients VS. A job at a smaller shop but higher pay and title with more responsibility.

I used to care about and chase the opportunity to produce cool/fun/funny work. But, as of the last couple years..it’s just more about stability, keeping working relationships happy, building finances, i.e. it’s just a job. Not about pushing for the most fun creative ideas—I still do that—I just don’t care enough to fight as much if they don’t get it. Definitely still feel genuinely defeated when truly awesome concepts get glossed over by a client who has no clue what they want.

Do other ladies on here ever have days when they dress up for work with no good reason just to see how people will react?

Came up with an idea in an agency brainstorm, even who the influencer should be. Now it’s being executed, but I’m not working on it. Weird if I put it in my book? Maybe as just the one who came up with it?

Surrounded by gorgeous ladies on my flight. Two in front of me, one across the isle, and another behind me. My neighbor? The goth with the Mohawk. 😑

What advice do you have for someone who will soon start their first job as a retail manager?

I am ready to transition my Salesmen to a base salary with commission to incentivize new hires & reward my long term guys. My industry is aftermarket auto parts. I am leaning towards a 2% commission but am flexible and just need help in figuring out salaries.

I've worked in hospitality for two years, but now the travel restrictions are lifting and I'm nervous; how busy does it usually get around Christmastime?

HI MOM LOOK I MADE THE ADS

What does the long-term career progression look like, both salary and title-wise, for someone looking to get into FP&A-type roles? Can you at some point land roles that involve financial/corporate strategy? One test away from getting the CPA and looking to get roles outside of standard corporate accounting.

Does anyone have the experience of taking on a global mobility assignment from Deloitte US to Canada? If so, was your work permit processed under intracompany transfer without LMIA? I'm trying to figure out if accepting the assignment will get me over the CRS cut off...

Hi Fishes, Wish you a great day ahead 😊🤗.

Would you say that RM is a safe field during a recession? Just transferred to a team that’s mostly remote and so a little worried, but it’s the job I’ve been looking for! Hoping I’m not making the wrong decision.

Where do you find the time to get everything done in the day when you have multiple partners, associates and equity partners that interrupt you and want things turned around immediately while simultaneously working on deadlines? I feel like I’m the only one that can’t manage a 70+ case load without letting someone down. I constantly have to say “Can I do this tomorrow?” Etc. I don’t even have time to bill on the clock. I work until 7p at least every night. Top 10 family law firm.

My skin has always been a little dry. I’ve used plain coconut oil on my face for years (as a moisturizer) but recently stopped because my fave would just get red after application. Not itchy but I definitely felt like my skin was reacting. Any suggestions for non-acne related calming face washes or moisturizers?
