OP, i’m genuinely curious what your point is.

Account people don’t recognize good ideas and CDs like their job so they don’t want you rising the ranks and leaving them unemployed.

Did I solve the riddle? ☺️

A lot of people are for themselves, regardless of discipline. Tons of energy is wasted on egos, and the macho alpha male vibe needs to be killed from this industry once and for all. True creative leadership can, and should be, taught across all disciplines in the industry and should be mandatory. The goal should not getting promotions, always being the loudest “authority” in the room, the CCO another vacation home, or better work for that matter. The goal should be creating an inclusive creative team culture that values people and provides clear avenues of growth. Seems obvious but our industry is severely lacking in this regard.

I joined
Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?

As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.
