Help me to understand. When you smile, with teeth, do you stick / stuff your tongue behind your front teeth so sometimes they sausage out between the crevices of your teeth? Or do you leave your tongue alone? I leave my tongue alone, some pretty hot insta friends I have often stuff their tongue behind their teeth, but they make it look good. I’ve seen people make it look not so good. Thoughts?

There are others! 🙌🏽

Has anyone successfully negotiated a title? I was looking for Senior Manager positions but applied for some Mgr positions too. I’m up for promo next year at my current job as well. The current industry offer meets my comp expectation but planning to see if they would bring me in as a senior manager. There isn’t a set hierarchy for the team as of right now as they are building the team and I’d be reporting to a senior executive. Any talking points/tips that might help me negotiate?

Best art director books you’ve seen? Best art director you’ve worked with?

What is a good rule of thumb when it comes to deciding if a new job is a good fit? I’ve been at my new job for almost a month now and can tell this might’ve been a mistake. I also recently passed up on an opportunity with higher pay and better accounts because I didn’t want to jump ship so soon. Now, I just want to get out.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?

Anybody else work on the Sonos pitch?

Ad agency designer desperately looking for an out but I have a possible new job opportunity. Here is my dilemma:

Pros.... more money, no crazy client demands, pitches or decks or even prospective clients that will go nowhere (in-house), better benefits

Cons.... this is a big one - it’s healthcare

I’ve been at agencies with a range of clients for the past few years. Career suicide taking an in-house healthcare job? Especially if role focuses more on growth & performance over design?

I’ve been steadily gaining weight while working from home and it’s making me really hate myself. Any tips on how to get out of this?

Any advice on creative cloud subscription? I have it on my work laptop, trying to save money and might cut it out of my budget. Is it okay to just use my work laptop if I need adobe? Anyone do this?
