I’m a freelancer. I’ve been to many agencies, and I can honestly say the shops that use Google slides have far better work and efficiency.

Grow up and learn how to use ppt

It’s not wildly sub-par, it’s mediocre and typically only used for the presentation deck itself. If you can’t put a timeline in ppt that looks decent, that feels like an issue? Many clients expect/demand ppt, and any content in decks that needs to be designed would be imported from another program. The software used to make presentation decks is such a strange hill to die on?

It’s ugly. It’s slow. It’s not intuitive to use for design. Seriously, holding companies, do you want to fall behind?

Obviously design in whatever program you choose and then just bring it over to PPT - no one else should be editing your slides anyway, so flatten those images. Isn’t this what all ADs/designers do when asked to “design in PowerPoint”? No one actually expects you to design in PPT right???

Yes they actually do! Because we are all collaborating on it at the same time

I waste 80% of my time waiting for ppt to load when collaborating.

Work on your slides offline and then just drop them in the deck when you are done.

In terms of a universal software, it’s easy to understand and hard to master. I agree that Google slides is way better for collaboration and sharing. Many clients have not caught up to yet. It really depends on if your client is paying Google or Microsoft.

I had to do this to present work to Samsung before because they hated Google and Apple. We just worked in google slides and had a freelance designer reformat in ppt before client meetings

Hi all! I work at a nonprofit and am looking to leave the organization. As I browse available positions in my area, I’m realizing there is a LOT of crossover between my current org and others, for example shared board members, folks who are on our board and employed at one of the institutions I’m interested in, etc.. Is there a way to say “my current org doesn’t know I’m looking, so please treat my interest with discretion” that doesn’t raise red flags? Thanks!

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
