I want to not wake up tomorrow. I’m a coward. I don’t want it to hurt. I just want it all to just go away.

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

What's the dress code, is it strictly formal or smart casuals.

Currently at a small sub on a project for a bigger firm (think big4, IBM, Acn) and I’m interested in joining the big firm directly. Anything I should consider in trying to navigate this situation?

Just curious so please share ur thoughts - I have been with the firm for over 6 years. Someone (in my office) 2 years my junior got Principle and I am still a senior project manager. What is going on?

I have an upcoming interview with Slalom for an AC position. What are some good questions to ask the interviewers? I’ve researched the company on their website & YouTube page and formulated some basic questions, but I’m curious to know what you all think.

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

I don’t work at the big LA shops (Deutsch/Chiat/72) because I don’t want to be worked to the bone 80 hours a week and abused. Also, because no one has ever reached out. But mostly the former.

What are the rules on recycling an idea (that you 100% came up with alone) while working at a different agency? I came up with this great stunt for a client last year, but they didn’t end up buying it. Now I’m working on a VERY similar client at a new agency. I want to present the idea, but I don’t know if I technically can…

Just saw a post on LinkedIn where the ECD of a mid-sized agency praised a large group of employees showing up to a shoot and acting as extras and principals for free for a client spot. He is super proud that for the team rallying together for work that “wasn’t even that interesting”…This doesn’t read as teamwork to me, it reads as the client exploiting the agency and the agency exploiting it’s workers…it’s a job not a school project? Or am I just overthinking this? Maybe?

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❤️
