Hi Folks,

Did anybody in CTS land in Canada with a work permit raised from the project ?

How many billable hours do people in prosecution tend to average each month? I’ve gone through waves of feeling like my billable hours requirement is reasonable to feeling like I’m drowning and can’t possibly do it for that long.

I’ve practiced litigation in DC for about 5+ years at a larger plaintiffs’ firm, and am considering a switch to a defense firm. Is there any insight to how many billable hours this would require, and how much time that would actually be? For reference, the firm has a 1900 billable hour requirement and the partner said I would have “no problem” fulfilling that based on the work they have.

Looking for referral at SAP labs India, CGI & Accenture.

Can anyone please help. Please DM

Salary package for communication exec with 10 years work ex

I hope you all are having a good day and looking forward to the weekend!

I would request all the members to respond to this.

List some of the major concerns of our day-to-day professional lives that are hampering the quality of our work and how support our stakeholders.

Hello Fishes, I have started my role of an Internal communications executive after 12 years of sabbatical, due to marital and parenting period. Looking to enhance my skills for growth and better efficiency. Could anyone please suggest what kind of skill enhancement course would be beneficial for me?
Also, what is the current salary slab for this role, because I joined in a very low package, being eager to get back to the role. So grabbed whatever opportunity I got without doing much research.

Open to position in corp communication- internal and external. Location - Hyderabad. Pls share any leads.

Hi Everyone!

Hope you'll are doing great! I was little occupied on the personal front hence couldn't keep up with the postings here.

I see in spite of 1-year anniversary of the bowl, the numbers didn't increase much. I know there are many other forums (like whatsapp groups) with similar userbase/members which maybe inhibiting sign-ups and activities. But one key differentiator is that Fishbowl groups are anonymous.

Request all the members help us expand the group. <More in Comments>

Do mid size companies do brand studies? What tools / methods are used (I'm guessing most won't do this given that it's not cheap)

I’m looking for mentors in branding. Branding is something that I studied in my MBA days.. all that I know is what’s there in the internet. I am looking for a mentor who could take me under their wings and teach me all about branding.

How are you all doing? Here's a thought to get some of us chatting again:

In an increasingly hybrid/remote working culture, how do you educate and convince your business stakeholders to not do info overloads with emails? The risk of people not being aware is there but sending separate emails for every sub-program, webinar is annoying (as a receipent) I understand employee perspective.

Hello professionals,
Need your suggestions.
What should be the decent package for an Internal communication professional with 5+ years of experience.
Location- Bangalore.

My company has given me a promotion without a raise. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

Little background:

Asked for promotion in late 2020 - was required to skill up, after skilling up, asked again about when I'll be promoted and was denied because there is no "vacancy" for it.
Got my annual hike in Oct 2021 without the promotion. I asked HR last week again and got a random announcement email saying my promotion is w.e.f Oct 2021. ( and no raise for the newly promoted role).

Hi Fishes,

I come across many job descriptions for roles in corporate communications preferring experience in digital marketing. As a marcom person, I feel we should know how to use the digital platforms effectively rather than literally sit and work on the campaign tools. Please let me know if I am mislead.

Do you want this group to become more active and publish posts more often?

Can anyone concur the following, working on multimedia editor (Video) (4-6 YOE) requisition:
1. The average rate for freelancer - ₹700-1200 per hour
2. The average compensation package for a full time editor: 7-9 LPA

Grateful for any inputs.

How about a thread on what Corp Comms pros make in India? It'll be nice to know our compensation journey through the years. I have started with 4 LPA as a campus recruit for internal Comms analyst role at one of the big 4s? In 6 years, my CTC has grown 4x.
