Once I was told in the first 30 seconds of an interview that they were looking to hire a woman (I am a man). It was a really awkward interview.

Well, sadly this is happening. A lot of women promoted and then not enabled to do what they do best. Sucks for men and sucks for women since they use us to project an idea of fairness and equality that contradicts the very principles of it.

Yeah, this is happening all over.

umm personally I'm glad she was only given female candidates. I'll take any advantage I can get.

How many times do you think ECDs are only given portfolios of male creatives?

Agree

Something in this realm just happened at my shop. They wanted to hire more women, so they did. Then threw them all on our newest account, which is a super macho male-targeted brand. It’s like putting a bunch of men on a tampon brand. One managed to get put on another account, another already quit. Moral of the story- “hiring” women isn’t the be-all end-all solution. You also need to make internal changes.

As a guy, I'd kill to work on a tampon brand or be given any other creative challenge. Bummer though.

I recently started my first post-college job as a software developer and have to make a decision pretty soon: front-end development or back-end development. I really like being closer to the user and the creativity as far as front-end. But I also reallly really enjoy math and logic and the more complex side to back-end. My dream would be to do full stack but thats not an option. Scared of getting pigeon holed. Any suggestions as to what to do / tips?

Has anyone ever asked to be taken off of an account or project? For months, I've been working with the most difficult client with the most vicious attitude. Most of what they're frustrated about isn't even our fault. I was recently promoted and don't want to make myself look bad, but the thought of doing more work for them makes my stomach turn. Is this a valid reason to be taken off a project? I'm not used to working with such rude people.
