Need advice. I’m a super senior content EP at a well known agency in the U.S., where I’ve been for quite some time. Checked out http://Glassdoor.com, and I make at the high end of the ranges for similar agencies. In the past year I’ve also taken on additional responsibilities (outside of traditional EP duties) that have doubled my workload and raised my profile quite a bit. How should I go about brining up a sizable salary bump (some creatives and even planning peeps earn more with much less responsibility)?

Deloitte is the bigger name and pays a bit better but Grant Thronton has way nicer people and known to have a way better cultre and work environment. What should I do? Where should I go?Deloitte Grant Thornton
McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).
Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried

Tone the formatting way down. Background should be white and if those lines are tables/graphics, get rid of them. Applicant tracking systems (ATS) will skip over that stuff.
Make your formatting and verbs consistent. Present tense for current roles, past for prior roles. Use active verbs and frame your work as accomplishments, not just tasks.
For a sample of a more professional format: https://firstjobessentials.com/resumes/
Agree with formatting/colors as well. This type of resume would be fine if you were applying for a more creative job in a diff industry but I don’t think it will help you for the jobs you’re targeting.
As others have stated, the format of your resume needs to change completely. Contrary to what’s being taught in school, you need a simple, organized structure with no colors or graphics. Large companies/firms use software to sift through the hundreds of applications received, so anything other than a relatively standard format can prevent the software from reading your resume. Recruiters also will not spend time figuring out where you put relevant info when everyone else puts them in the same, easy to find spot on their resume. Your main focus should be on the content of your resume, like using key words that align with the type of job you’re looking for and demonstrate how you developed/used your skills. You can Google “Harvard consulting resume” for a great resource with example formats and tips for how to best convey your skills

Use the Wharton Resume (Google this term to find it). This will help you pass the ATS. Also reach out to recruiters or school alums who work at the organizations you want to work at.
Go to a D heavy area like Cali, PNW, or NY.
Could be due to location. If you are open to relocating and okay with paying for that out of pocket, try listing that on your resume. However, the best thing you can do is to try to get a referral. That is the best way to get into most companies. During the application process, try to figure out what areas are hiring the most and lost those locations as your top preferences.
Consider having you resume edited by a professional to showcase your special skills. Try www.prsnbranding.com .They do a great job with resumes.
Did you graduate? Remove the expected if you did. I also echo the comments on formatting.
Use a simple format - don't use colour, this is too busy and not easy to read. Recruiter's/Hiring Managers take about 5-10 seconds to review a resume -- make it count. Use the ACE model for you impact statements :) - Good Luck
