That feeling when you get an amazing parking spot at the office then later spend 20 minutes looking for your car in its usual place.

Any designers wanna help me out with my portfolio? Everything is done, I just need some feedback to know how to improve it. I'd be very happy if you could help out!

Hello! I've been struggling the last few weeks because someone on my team has been taking credit for my work. This coworker is really good with buzzwords and getting the attention of upper management. I'm feeling discouraged - what should I do?

Hi, I am bringing together a team through a reorg any suggestions on how to bring a new team together remotely?

I’ve been in contact with an external candidate for ~2 months (job is 100% travel). I finally extend him an offer today. He calls and says “my travel is limited - i am planning to buy a dog” ... 😐

I'm almost at the point of an offer, and also just started a 6 month long engagement since my utilization was taking a hit. How do you fish recommend dealing with the situation once the offer comes?

R/GA layoff updates: 20 cut in Portland today, bringing stateside count close to 100 on the year. No official statement from Bob.

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

💡Fishbowl would be 100x more interesting and damaging if we could review and rate our colleagues (current and former). Who's willing to make THAT app?

I just got laid off — anyone else get hit this round? ☹️

Looking for a new challenge and have heard great things about Adobe. Does anyone have feedback on the inside sales/account management roles?

Assuming this causes a recession like in 2008, and many people get laid off, how long to take to find another similar paying job? I’m currently a strat manager in FS. Scared for job.

What’s a typical salary for a 1st year Consulting Manager at Deloitte?

Started getting targeted for Recoop after I started working in consulting. Do you think my affinity has changed to “potential adderall user”?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Internship Program Help: Hi Everyone! I’ve never worked for a company with any type of internship program at all, let alone a really successful one. My new company thrives off our internship program, with many of our managers/directors having started as one themselves. I’d like to create more of a structure to this program but not even really sure where to begin. Also don’t want to bite off more than I can chew, but would love to hear some tips or even better, maybe have a quick chat if willing?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

Anyone at A&M in the digital finance group care to share their experience before applying?

I have a dumb question... I have my first jury trial coming up in a few months. It's a 3-day auto accident trial. I'm the plaintiff attorney. My question is, should I have my client present the entire three days, or am I okay to tell them that they're fine to leave after they testify?

Does anyone have a preferred job board or recruitment company for finding new producer jobs?
