Any chance hiring will pick up in January? I was laid off a couple months ago and I’m getting nervous.

I was laid off from my Omnicom agency job late 2023 as part of the post pandemic downturn. Took me 14 months to find another full-time job (and it was contract with no benefits).

All to say, brace yourself for a long dry spell.

I'd imagine it will pick up from December. How much, hard to say.

Perhaps later in Q1 as things heat up at agencies. They will have new budgets and more opportunities. I strongly recommend leveling up and networking during the down time so you’re always improving and making yourself more marketable, even if the phone isn’t ringing.

Ehhhh

Folks that got a prenup. How and where did you get it? We have spoken to a couple of lawyers and it simply seems to be a back and forth they want to do to rack up billable hours/complicate the issue. My SO and I pretty much know what we want. We are doing it mainly to protect my SOs inheritance. Looking for the simplest way to execute this. TIA for any advice.

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
