I never even finished my degree and I’ve worked at top shops my entire career (title is not updated here). I’m not sure if degrees really have that much sway on whether or not a creative is, well, creative.

I do! But it hasn’t really helped me in advertising tbh.

Going back to formal school is about setting yourself up to “reboot”. So, you have to think about what you want to do after you get the degree - and is the degree actually going to give you a better chance. In all seriousness, what would you do with a Masters in today’s advertising/graphic design business that you can’t do already? Upskilling is one thing…a commitment to formal academic program is something else. Think hard about the real skills you will grow vs the realistic industry needs & the $$ cost.

Please don’t

Oh, also: I have my Masters.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
