any thoughts on DraftLine, the in-house agency for Anheuser-Busch in nyc?

I work here and love it. Solid group of people from different backgrounds - mostly former agency professionals who made the jump to in-house.

Varies based on what brand you’re on. Bud Light did a lot of great work this last year with the alien cans and Nationals fan...

Natty team did the packaging for Naturdays, which was a huge release. They also did a lot of awesome NASCAR work (as did Busch).

Ultimately, a lot of the BIG projects go to our AOR and we focus on the digital, packing, and OOH, but that’s slowly changing. Our team just did a Super Bowl shoot in a matter of days and our creatives, strategy, and production teams have really proven themselves and brand truly trusts our abilities.

There will be days where you’re working on packaging; days where you’re coming up with earned ideas...days where nothing happens and brand calls with a big ask at 5pm. Nature of the business and (one of the only) downfalls of being in-house. We’re cheap and get tasked with the quick work that agencies would charge a ton for.

Otherwise, our CD is Eric Flinn. He worked at the Onion beforehand and he’s super funny and nice. He has the creative going in a really smart direction.

Hello everyone.

This is a thank you post.

This platform has helped me in a way to get more than a 100% hike.

I am working as a Data Scientist with 5.6 yrs of experience in DS/ML.

My current CTC was 12.6 LPA and after switch, I got 32.2 LPA (30 fixed).

So I would like to thank everyone who posts comments and share their experiences. This helps a lot to understand the current market scenario and whether they are underpaid or not.

PS: Attaching my CTC

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
