I am interested in fire and theft and SIU, but these are not the only roles I want to try. Does anyone have any idea the salary ranges available as I go further into different roles? (URBI,ARBI,F&T) etc?

I am a M2 at B4 FDD and don’t know how long i’ll be genuinely interested in this work. Currently debating rotating into a B4 IB associate role for a year or two, then moving to PE.

Currently a staff 2 in audit at a big 4 firm (will be promoted to senior later this year), and I’m curious about switching into FDD.

Is there anywhere I can find copies of real briefs/decks delivered from planning to creative as part of subsequently famous campaigns?

I’ve seen hundreds of mediocre framework-y briefs at work and otherwise, I’ve seen many “examples” of how briefs should look, and I’ve read plenty about what a great brief should have, but without being at a top agency or around top planners, I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen a great brief with real work.

Lots of farewell emails this week at PwC. People getting laid off? Has anyone heard anything about it?

Been hitting the gym for around 9 years. Today I had a trial session with a personal trainer and I enjoyed it. It was my first time ever working with one. I’m wondering if paying 500$ per month is worth it? I saw great results when I was working out by myself so I’m not sure if it’s worth to pay so much. Thoughts?

FORM50? It seems like Pilates on steroids. I’m wondering if anyone has tried it? And if it is actually as lit as they represent? It’s only got studios in NYC (Astoria) and Miami, so call out to Miami and NYC fish!

What happens to carry if you lateral to a new fund?

I am a M2 at B4 FDD and don’t know how long i’ll be genuinely interested in this work. Currently debating rotating into a B4 IB associate role for a year or two, then moving to PE. Is this a reasonable move? I know IB lifestyle will suck, but I don’t want to find myself in a spot where I dislike what I do in a few years and feel like moving to IB may increase my chances of landing a better gig in the future ( as opposed to sticking to FDD)

I’m sure it’ll vary depending on the specific terms of the agreement and ethos of the fund, but generally / anecdotally what would cost you to lose a VESTED carry? E.g. what if you leave to a competitor even when respecting the gardening leave / non poaching etc? What if you are let go for underperformance (but haven’t breached any rules / done anything unethical etc). Or what if you’re let go simply due to eg the fund reducing headcount or your team?
