ACD - Copy here. I am 100% in this industry for the money. I don't care about creative fulfillment or working with stars, I am here to maximize my income. What is the best way to do that? Grind until I make CD? Build up a diverse portfolio and go freelance? Look to start my own agency? One caveat is I can't do high-science/hard pharma - I tried for a year and frankly didn't have the chops, though I still work on healthcare-related brands. I appreciate any and all answers!

Tips for bankruptcy associates who eventually want to move in-house? 3rd year associate in bankruptcy/restructuring group doing mainly bk lit but a few deals too. Need to stay in BL for at least another year for the money, but eventually want to move in-house. The path to in-house seems more straightforward for general commercial lit or more standard transactional practices. Any tips for someone who’s practice is a bit of a hybrid (and who will never likely do discovery or handle a depo)

Are there any good PM certification that’s worthwhile? Not something that’s on Udemy for 2 hours of coursework.
Most “certifications” I’ve seen seem a bit superficial… but my current PM job feels like a glorified project manager role so I was hoping to use my extra time to study/earn a certificate to show my skill. If possible.

I have a very strong networking background and want to break into cloud space. I don’t know much about database and applications. What should be my learning strategy? e.g do AZ103, AWS solution architect, AWS networking certs? Please guide me.

I have a return offer from a big 4! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience as an intern and have no complaints. Would love to go back.

However, a bit confused if I should try and recruit with MBB’s or if I should accept the big 4 offer already and take the sign on bonus?

Would it be a blunder to NOT try recruiting with MBB’s ? Besides the monetary aspect, what are the other things I’d have to think about?

If you exit after your first promo (~2 YOE), what level roles can you expect to be competitive for in industry? Analyst/sr analyst?

Tenured Ms that have gone from tier 2/big 4/ACN to MBB laterally (yes this is happening now) - have you noticed any significantly better exit opps coming through or differences in what recruiters are reaching out for? Curious about this.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

Why did you go the RIA route instead of a BD/HYBRID route? Did you start as an RIA or somewhere else?

Good consulting books? Not talking case prep but a fun read about the industry and what it takes to succeed, etc. Thank you!

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?

My controversial opinion of the day is that organic social is worth fuckall for the majority of brands (including the trendy lifestyle ones) and that influencers are just propping up vanity metrics.
