Advertising Fishbowl 2049

When I started in this business, we had to type out our A.I. prompts on a keyboard (ever seen one of those?) and then manually post the results to TikTok (a primitive version of sQw@5 that was owned by the Chinese).

Now kids just instantly pulsar a trillion neuralinx of brand-sponsored genital influencer puppet shows and think they’re moving the needle.

There used to be a craft to this.

Some say perfect love doesn't exists.... but let me tell you that's because they never experienced it 🥰

Has anyone here used a professional resume service? Would recommend again or not worth it?

EY GDS vs DELOITTE INDIA..?

Which one is better in terms of wlb, hike, career growth and job security.

EYP salary expectations US vs UK? 30% difference in pay or more?

Just found this bowl. What are we doing? Are we going to start a union or what? All I see in here are posts about other places unionizing....

Hi

Does anyone have active Denver meetup groups they would recommend for Outdoors/Sports & Fitness/Social categories? New to the area and looking to meet people!

Hcl offer me 12 lakh on 8.6 years and CTS is giving me 16 lakh... Will hcl revised my offer letter on basis of counter offer and match the same ... I want to join HCL but they offer me less amount

TECH STACK - SAP BASIS
YOE - 10.8
CURRENT CTC - 27

Cleared interview with HCL. How much can I get, I'm expecting above 35LPA. Is HCL GOOD FOR SAP BASIS profile?

I have two offers in hand. KPMG and Deloitte. CTC is almost same whereas variable is more in KPMG. I am inclined towards Deloitte India. But HR in KPMG told me that I won't be able to join KPMG India in future as I accepted their offer. I informed her within 2 weeks and didn't do anything for onboarding. I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify

How's everyone doing this weekend?

Looking for folks to do a peer interview for GCA and googlness/ leadership this weekend. I am in east coast.

Hi Fishes, Has anyone attended MAKE MY TRIP interview on the QA Automation side recently ? what kind of questions are being asked, any idea would be a great help

What’s it like producing at 360i NY?

Raises do exist! Disregard females, acquire currency 💸💸💸

So, again my client went with the banner and website design ideas from from their print-based (and cheaper) agency. Now I get to make their garbage. Sometimes I wonder why we bother. #designrant

Advice for salary negotiations when moving to a city with a higher cost of living?

Rename each agency as a trendy artisanal brand with the “Blank & Blank” format.

Who's got the most fishbowl points?

Do LinkedIn skills endorsements mean anything? Has any recruiter said... "Whoa! She's got 47 people that think she's a great writer... we gotta get her in here!" ?

Anyone have any good job searching strategies/tips? I'm losing motivation

Getting really frustrated with a boss that is completely bipolar in our interactions. Management does not seem willing to tell them to stop being psycho. Beginning to think the only way out is out

Shoutout to account peeps ready to explain why, actually, it isn't that much work and, actually, EOD tomorrow is plenty of time.

I've seen quite a few people make jokes about being "aged out" of advertising. Could someone please explain what that looks like and when that typically happens? Forgive the dumb question, I'm a newbie to the industry so I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't agencies want people with more experience?

Are there any agencies where creatives actually have good work-life balance in LA, SF or anywhere else for that matter? Like no weekends or no working more than a 40-50hr week? Or do I have to go in house for this? Or do I have to leave advertising altogether?

I feel like I’m either getting burnt out by work or trying to heal myself from it. There’s never much time for real life and I don’t want to be on my death bed reminiscing like, “Wow, I made some cool ads.” Nothing scares me more.

I've been getting poached on LinkedIn by omnicom the past few weeks. Something about building a new "marketing research team". Anyone either at Omnicom or elsewhere know what this department could be?

Hello!! Does anyone know if there are any open positions @ mediavest/spark? I'm a temp & was told they don't know when I'll be hired on. So I thought I should apply online instead of waiting. Thanks!!

How do approach your boss and tell her you are unhappy because you feel like you haven’t received recognition for your award winning campaign that has won 20+ awards and you have seen your other coworkers get promoted while they fail to properly recognize you in front of your team. Thank you

Somebody please in tomorrow’s WPP Global Townhall meeting ask if they’re going to give us a cost to living inflation raise. A bonus. Gas cards. Anything. They are taking questions. I don’t have the balls. I can’t go through another meeting hearing them brag that WPP has earned millions and millions.

Back to work tomorrow guys. Four days off and I forgot all about it.

In a typical advertising creative team structure, who vets the new hires? ECD? CD? Trying to get some clarity as I work at a small shop with CD being the highest title.
