Always felt like the definition of tech in agencies is all over the place. What is your definition?

The majority of the people at my company don't even know how to describe what my company does, what we stand for, or the name of the company we work for, let alone how we define tech. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We're..uh..in the middle of an identity crisis 😂

It’s a huge problem. For some reason agencies treat tech like a second class citizen to design/I’d/creative

Very true @SR1. I came from the start up world and maintaining large groups of engineers. We were able to drive the majority of ideas and work at a much faster pace while design needed to flex to our teams needs. Agencies on the other hand seem to work backwards from this. Can’t find one Agency with a great technology team that’s allowed to push boundaries

@DT1 - I agree - we used to value our technologists, but it doesn't seem like that is the case anymore. See the latest post in this bowl. People are pushing to replace STEM with STEAM to include arts, which relates to my frustration with agencies.

Working on getting CISSP right now; would love to hear any recommendations for study materials if anyone would be willing to share.

Anyway, open and appreciative of any insight.

Hi!Would like to get some perspectives on the Walmart and Amazon offers that I just received. Slightly more interested in Amazon Fashion's work but it's offered at $80K less than Walmart...
A few questions here:
1) Is the Amazon brand better than Walmart that's worth $80K in TC?
2) Are Strategy roles better perceived than Marketing roles and will have higher long-term pay potential? (I went to business school where almost everybody wants to do Strategy...)
3) Is Amazon culture very concerning?

I know this sounds weird, but I think my fiancé has my tech tapped… I journal and write short stories that I’ve used as an outlet for years. Way before I met him. Lately, it feels like he repeats things that I’ve written or said over the phone. For example, I’ll tell a friend that I want to visit her in San Diego. Then, he’ll come home and say I should visit my friend in San Diego soon. Am I paranoid or is he really listening? I feel violated and exposed. He doesn’t have a tech background.
