Anyone got laid off? Should i tell the recruiter that i got laid off?

Tired of this constant grind and constant layoff situation in NYC. Thinking of making the move to LA. Any thoughts? Yay or nay?

I always feel like I’m one mistake away from getting fired 😵

Should people be fired for lack of people skills?

Hot take: if it’s actually a stealth layoff then everyone else got the same speech as you and outing the firm won’t identify you.

I am struggling with putting my experience/qualifications on paper...

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

Long term recommendations for ETFs buying in now? QQQ and VTI? Recommend any of the blue chips?

All of the robo-advisors I’ve seen invest in low cost ETFs. Are there any that invest in individual stocks? It feels like this would be much more effective at tax loss harvesting because it would de-average the holdings within each ETF. I’m going to have large capital gains next year and I’m looking for ways to offset.

Burnetters, what’s the story behind Britt Nolan leaving?

Want to get your opinions on the best small agencies in LA in terms of work produced (media and creative)

My controversial opinion of the day is that organic social is worth fuckall for the majority of brands (including the trendy lifestyle ones) and that influencers are just propping up vanity metrics.

So I'm in a weird space at the moment. I've been interviewing with a lot of agencies in the past couple of months, and I keep getting the same response of "I need more agency experience." How am I supposed to get that experience if one of the things holding me back is not having enough agency experience?

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️

How big does an agency have to be to justify a CCO title?

Advice/suggestions please:
Let’s say you were interviewing for a global client lead role - at the holding co level - for one of WPP, Omnicom or IPG.

What questions would you ask in the interview phase?
What concerns would you have?
If you had your pick of essentially the same role at all three of those holding companies which would you pick? Or not pick?

If you have any insight/two cents you up for sharing to help me out, thank you!
