Just arrived to Sydney from Chicago with my wife and 2 sons both under 2. Escorted to hotel quarantine and spending these 2 weeks trying to figure out if I would/could/should make the move to Sydney permanent. Wife and kids are Australian citizens. Made a list of pros and cons- cons column is empty - the only concern is work. How are you folks doing with COVID economy? Are there significant downsizing? How’s the projected technology consulting pipelines down here?

Offered job @McDonalds for 90K with a 5K sign on bonus. Currently making 85K. Bonus structure at McDonald’s is 14-30% and a much better WLB. Torn on whether jumping to industry would stagnate my career or if I should look to hop to a different consulting field before joining industry (currently I’m in TP w/interest in strategy consulting). Speaking with a few different companies this week but McDonald’s wants my decision by Wednesday. Offered the job last Friday 9/23. Thoughts?

Hi,
Some question on Retention bonus received in Feb 2021

2) How will i be able to retrieve the TDS deducted on the lumpsum ? Is it an easy process to get the differential back in March 2022 Return Filings?

Moms of fishbowl - what is the best bottle warmer and sterilizer? I’m due in February, planning to do a combination of breast milk and formula (to ensure baby gets all his nutrients one way or another). We bought the baby brezza advanced with WiFi for formula, so more focused on a warmer + sterilizer combo thatll work for breast milk (and specifically thawing breast milk too). Seems there aren’t as many options for combo products with sanitizer, so maybe I’m asking for too much. Suggestions?

According to LinkedIn, there’s a hiring frenzy going on but all I see are junior roles for under 35k to work on social. Is this the “frenzy” they’re talking about?

Anybody looking for Senior Brand Strategy help? Experience with top global brands and top agencies. Can share more in DMs.

35k for a copy job. Recruiter says that number can go up and I'm more qualified than other applicants. How far would you push?

Anyone else use the names of people they went to school with for Instagram post / tweet mock ups, or am I just a creep

What are the best recruiters for Creatives in London?

Anyone hiring producers in London?

When your CD squeezes your ass at the Christmas party ☹️

Thinking of returning to London after working in the US for a while. Is the current London ad scene as bad as everyone tells me?

At my first agency job, I was
- Paid pennies to work 55 to 100 hour weeks.
- Bullied by senior members of staff about my appearance and poor quality clothing. (The best I could afford on what they were paying me.)
- Looked down on and generally disrespected constantly.
- Falsely accused of theft with no evidence.
- Ordered to lie about my religion.
- Unfairly dismissed one week before the one year mark, where I'd have grounds to take them to a tribunal.
How was your first job?

biggest sociopath you have ever worked with ? dare ya to spill the beans ....

Who leads creative at WK now since Ian and Tony left?

Moving to London next year because my partner got a job. Will be looking for a gig but don’t know anyone in the industry. Are there any general practices I should know about that might help? I’ll probably be doing a lot of cold emailing. Is it more common to reach out to recruiters/talent people or CDs? Also I know agencies tend to prefer hiring in teams but obv not an option for me. Would looking on my own be much of a problem? Any other advice would really help. Also a POC if that matters…

What are MediaMonks UK like? Feel like I read about them everyday, but don’t see much of their work. Any good?
