As a junior, do you find that you’re handling a lot of projects on your own, or are you spending time collaborating with your senior? I’m still trying to learn what the normal amount of responsibility is for this position. Any insight would be amazingly helpful!

I'm part of a very small department, so I have the opportunity to do a lot of collaborative work with our social media manager and the rest of the team. It's nice because I've been able to learn a lot from them and get a lot of guidance as I'm learning this role.

What other team members do you have on the social side

It varies. I'm working on a few projects that are more or less on my own. But I'm also part of a team and working closely with more senior people on other things. It seems to work out nicely, I learn by working with the others, and I get to try things out on my own with the independent work.

I agree. This is a great junior experience

i lead a few static projects with the approval of a cd and then sometimes i takeover for a sr ad if they’re ooo or need help on workload but mostly our work if kept separate. it feels very agency specific, we’re midsize if it helps

That sounds pretty independent for a jr

Right now it's a mix for me. I handle a lot on my own, but I check in with my senior when I get stuck or need feedback. It feels like a lot sometimes, but I think that is pretty normal. Every team is different though, so it is good you are asking and trying to get a feel for it.

Did you start off working on things on your own?

Oh no, I have been thrown into the deep end there are days I don’t even see or speak to my senior and it’s terrifying. At least it was pretty terrifying to begin with, but I think I’ve really grown into the challenge of not having a safety net even though I really need one.

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

Hi
I have got an offer for analyst position
I have few questions please rply

Didn't have top grades, wasn't on law review. Worked at a midsize firm and was laid off in march-- have about 3 years experience in a hot practice area. Have been applying and had some interviews at larger shops but nothing has come of it. I'm still applying to roles (not many out there) in my area but coming to the realization based on number of larger firm rejection letter that I may not find a role. Where would you go from here if you were me? Was making good money at the midsize...

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
