Anyone wanna give me constructive criticism on my portfolio? 😪

Is there an issue with American Airlines right now? No one in the Charlotte airport can get a boarding pass in person or from the website

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips? I feel like being an account person is especially difficult in the COVID era since so much of what we do is manage communications, ensure the team is set up well etc. None of this feels particularly fun alone staring into the void of Zoom all day ... but the same pressure is still there. I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.

Anyone joined LtI recently with cloud engineer role?

They are giving 15 percent variable as well.

Will I get 100 percent variable on quarterly basis or not?
What's you experience with Infy?

Once, when I was little, I was playing Monopoly with my cousin. I was the banker, and I liberally “quantitatively eased” myself whenever he wasn’t looking.

I got unlucky and lost the game but I threw an absolute FIT, accusing my cousin of cheating because I knew how severely I’d cheated myself. How could he have won if HE didn’t cheat?!

Donald Trump’s righteous, desperate conviction is that of a losing cheater. I only hope he gets the time out he so richly deserves.

Hi All,

I got offer letter from mastercard with joining date as 14 nov and my LWD is 23 nov.. So i informed HR and they agreed that revised joining date will be provided as per LWD screenshot from current organization.

Now I have done follow up multiple time and they are saying they will do it and keep trust on them but not providing ETA.

So any one gone through these scenario and does mastercard extended joining date??

Seniors: a managers best punching bag.

Huh, the word is unkempt. I've been saying unkept all my life. Oops.

I got offer as Associate (Technology) from pwc. Can I extend my joining date for 3-4 weeks?

Currently I have an offer on my hand and my current employer has nominated me for H1B

If I resign what will be the consequences?
Is it good to stay in the company or resign as I have a better offer in hand

What are some questions you always ask during your interview? I feel like I need to be asking more.

Might get an offer from Capco Canada. Any idea the range of a salary for a Senior Consultant? Not sure to what extent Glassdoor values can be trusted.

Do agencies outside of pharma have Art Supervisor roles? Or does it go Sr AD > ACD. I just got promoted to Art Sup & honestly don’t know if so should update my Linkedin since i’m working...

Things are apparently going to get better after a client will be leaving, I’ll get to work on different brands but I am feeling pretty burnt out from the agency I’m at. Will new clients help? Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.

How is it working in house at Nike?

*meeting begins*
Strategist: we really think this brief could be fun. The client needs to promote this new product and we found...
Data guru: Data
Strategist: ahem, we found...
Data guru: DATA!
Strategist: we...
Data guru: BIG DATA!!!!!
*a tattoo grows on the data gurus neck. It’s a birthday cake that says Happy Data. There are no doors in the room. Everything turns to numbers. You die, then awake you are now the data guru. You try to speak and only data comes out*

My ECD keeps changing our work before it goes to client and it's cost us making good work. Our books are suffering because he can't get his hands off the tools. Our books are only full of spec now.

If you were offered a job at a great agency but working on just one brand, but it was a big one like Nike or McDonalds, would you do it? Being siloed sucks, but maybe worth it for a big account?

Does anybody know which are the best in-house agencies to work for? Thanks!

I love living in NYC. Unfortunately, I haven’t found the kind of job I want here. Can someone suggest me other states where creative agencies are actually hiring?

I am on 5 projects right now all due within the next week-3 weeks. I feel like I’m drowning and might quit if I reach a breaking point, what should I do? Only work on the projects worth a shit? Blow off first round check ins to work on stuff that’s due?

Are Creative Directors rich?

Where do you stay up to date in the best ideas from the industry?

Which is the right move for a young creative: free ride to portfolio school, or take a full time junior position where you’ve been interning?

The industry is crumbling under our feet and I still can’t decide if I want to go in-house or not. I’m afraid it won’t be as exciting and I won’t travel as much. But also, I need a job. So 🤦‍♂️

Looking to move to New York - does anyone know which agencies are hiring these days?

I put in my two weeks! But now it's weird here haha. Agencies should ask you to leave and pay you out. This is silly.

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
