Hi Fishes, I am bit confused to pick the role in KPMG lighthouse as Sr Cloud Data architect or Saama technology as a Project lead. Money wise it is not a big difference. In KPMG I will work with partner where as in saama I will work with project/program manager. Please suggest your opinion. Saama KPMG KPMG India
I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Maybe a team brainstorming where it’s “stupid/silly ideas only”
I understand that the disfunction is coming from high up and that you feel as though you have no power to fix it. I’ve been there. My regret? I ACCEPTED that I had no power to fix things to my team’s detriment. How can you expect them to keep giving you their best if you yourself can’t give them your best by at least trying? Look for the incremental ways that you can improve things and provide clarity.
And think to yourself about the death marches you were sent on as a younger creative. How did you make it through? Did a good idea live?
I second the notion of a brainstorm where only silly / stupid ideas go up on the board. But I’d advise against it if it chips into much needed working time.
Avoid being the overly positive cheer leader.
Tabula Rasa. Streamline the teams. Fresh, clear and brief concepts only, top line, and be sure your best copy teams are aboard. Give them 4 hours. Done. All ideas are valid. Pre-present for the best two. Move on.
Ask to picture an ideal destination then create a map. G’luck! 😀
