How is Microsoft's Customer Value Engineering team? How is the work culture, work life balance and growth opportunities?

CSM or PSM 1?

You know what? I'm 31 and I don't think I should have to courtesy flush anymore.

Hi Everyone! Happy Friday! I’m new to Fishbowl. I’m an experienced EA with a diverse background seeking a new role with competitive compensation and benefits. I’m located in South Florida but I’m open to remote, on-site, or a hybrid position. Feel free to reach out and connect!

I want to get botox but dont know where to go in philly. Curious if anyone has a place they like/would suggest?

Yay; my hire got approved by HC 🎉. I’m in serious need for comp negotiation coaching now. How to best approach this? I’m utterly clueless about my market worth+approach and don’t want to leave any money on the table.

Is "attention to correspondence" an appropriate description for the 17 hour block bill yesterday? Asking for a friend.

Is anyone from this bowl working at 6sense?

3 types of food to describe your firm?

Best consulting firms to target for Supply Chain & Operations Strategy apart from MBB after graduating from MIT SCM

I do a mix of strategy and tech engagements, is it just me or do strategy folks seem to waste the most time? Constant status updates, tweaking slides that are perfectly good. It's frustrating.

Hey. An observation. Every post and comment on here for the past month has been negative as fuck. Yes, life is rough right now. But advertising as a paying job is hilarious and we should all take a beat to remember that.

What's the best website that lists out current agency client rosters? (I've seen this before on FB but can't find the thread. FB - please add search functionality!!)

Can I start season 4 of Halt & Catch Fire without watching seasons 1,2, 3? (Heard this is the only great season)

Whomever is doing the tv placement for Advocate Healthcare in Chicago: do you have to have the ad going every other commercial? If I hear “come on get healthy” one more time, I’m leaving the state.

New to IT B2B marketing. Any advice on how to educate myself with IT? Any classes, books, etc. that you recommend?

Branding people - how do ya'll feel about the new startup "Bodega" and its name? It's been all over the internet today.

A little over a year ago, I posted about my boss making constant comments about my salary. Most comments said I must not have been performing well. I want to update that he was fired, not me.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. 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.

Having the clients love an idea you had to fight to present is a bittersweet win- you feel validated, but also wish your team backed you from the start...anyone else experience this?

Thanks to the robots, there’s just not a lot left to do.

So why do we still have to spend all our waking time playing office?

Calling all tech obsessed 🐠! Thoughts on Chromebooks? My mom needs a new laptop and absolutely loves the simplicity / app-based nature of her iPhone, but I can't afford to buy her a Mac. TIA!

Got any jokes?

If you get an offer a few days before you have a final interview (or while you're waiting to hear back), is it okay to ask for some time? Or do they expect you to answer right there?

i'm in the final round for 2 different media positions in 2 completely different places (NYC and NC) and things are moving really quickly for both. the NYC job is my dream one but they're both offering $40k so i'm conflicted. any advice would be helpful lol

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Can you we have centennial week again next week? Just sayin it would be dopeAF

What are your favorite millennial traits?

I’m a strategist interested in branding shops like interbrand. But I hear they aren’t doing well these days since everyone claims to be a brand consultant. Also I’m curious about the work

What have other people's experiences been working for companies under WPP?

Can we really just not with April Fools ads? So cringe inducing, so bandwagon-y, so god damn corny & depressingly expected...🤢
