Is it for a webex role?

Nope

Best of luck! For the webex role, the process entailed a screening call, then call with HM, then virtual on-site (4-5 interviews I think) and then a final assignment with a presentation. Can’t share anything more than that.

Might be worth asking the recruiter more about what the hiring process is like? I usually ask and they don’t have a problem walking me through it most times, I just do have to ask.

IOT PM - where are you in the process? I’ve been speaking to folks in CX group. But I don’t know why the reviews here are mixed.

I freelanced for an agency as an art director for 6 months and recently got hired FT. I am struggling with imposter syndrome on a daily basis but manage to get great feedback from the creative directors continuously but still feel the same way. I was put on a creative brainstorm and my ideas seemed so misaligned with everyone else's but the designs I did the client liked and I think we are moving forward with. Where does the role of art director begin and end? New to agency life. Any advice?

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
