It used to be something I struggled with a lot. But it’s actually very simple.

You prepare a briefing deck.
In that deck you give them a couple things:

- Context on the brand and the campaign.
- The visual approach/device.
- The shots & scenes you need.
- References of photography that have the look/energy/vibe you’re after.

That’s it.

Hey Sharks,
How much should one expect in a top consultancy firm, back end role (reasearch team) ?
Location: Mumbai
YOE: 7

Just got offered a job at a small biotech in London (UK). ~£45k plus bonus but only 1YR FTC and no equity.

Pretty sure it's a discovery role too.

I just finished my PhD at a very good uni with 3 years technician experience before that. BSc and MSc also at very good unis with good grades.

I think this offer is well below par, but curious to hear what you guys think/if you have any comparisons?

Thanks in advance :)

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
