Are there any conferences or global events you want to attend next year (i.e Cannes, etc)?

Not really. I went to Cannes a few years ago, I've attended fashion events in France and Italy, and had to go to work-related conferences in London and Berlin. All those places are interesting but I really couldn't enjoy myself because there were too many foreigners around.

Cannes keeps popping up on my list and it’s something I’m going to have to check out.

I’m struggling to find a replacement for Cannes, in terms of where I perceive the industry to come together. It’s not what it used to be, and it feels very off track ever since it prioritized corporate and tech participation over creativity. Closing off the beaches and selling them out to the highest tech bidder was where the shift began, but I can’t (yet) think of a single event that’s creativity and advertising and marketing-focused as a substitute. SXSW, maybe, but it’s not there yet.

I am concerned about the negative reviews relating to the PwC acceleration centres in general, and getting stuck in a role which does not provide growth opportunities. Thank you.

Hi Fishes, Y.O.E 7.5+ years. Tata Consultancy TCS is offering 25LPA including variable pay and everything. So just 15% increment on my current salary since they mentioned I am leaving my current organization within 1 year.

They mentioned 8-12% is VP plus 80k from that salary is paid at the end of each year. Is it a good enough salary for 7.5+ yoe candidate. Also any heads up for the things I should look out for will be really helpful.

I am not sure who needs to hear this but exactly one year ago, I was at my lowest point in life. Today, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Life has truly been a rollercoaster these past few years for me.

I am sharing this to tell you that no matter what you’re feeling right now, it won’t last. Even the happiness I feel right now, I’ve had that stripped from me multiple times. That is LIFE. We have the good and the bad.

Hang in there if times are bad. If things are good, prepare to lose it too.
