BBDO 🐠 - feeling for you guys today. How many in the layoffs?

Layoff in IQVIA?
@iqvia

Hi,

Is this a good time to join HP? As they have recently announced 6000 layoffs in 2 years.

Is it safe to join PWC india at this point of time. Are we expecting any layoffs?

I’m 1 year post-MBA and was just let go despite top performance results—firm is not acknowledging COVID layoffs, though. Given 5+ YOE w/background in tech sales could BizOps be a fit? TIA!

How do you manage layoff at high ctc. I have been laid off effective from today. How do you manage the situation.

My last drawn is 37L per annum. What would be my career projections from now?

Do layoffs actually benefit Indians who remain in the gc line because people who would be ahead in line are being laid off and can’t continue their gc application?

People are layed off.
Other companies are on a hiring freeze.
So where are those people going?
Did we did a mistake by choosing tech as a career.
Cause I never heard consulting,finance or people in administration getting layed off like this.

I felt very good following Dana’s Town Hall. Having heard other networks are already facing furloughs and layoffs, did you feel as encouraged?

Anybody else also having the layoffs anxiety already ? Any update/rumours about GL ?

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

Recently got laid off in the middle of my search for an exit from consulting. Will this come up in background checks? If so, how do I address if it’s brought up?

I'm thinking I won't be getting promoted if not laid off at the end Q2 or sooner. What are some good exit ops for an associate with 2 yoe in tech consulting? Exp in Cloud, PMO, IT Risk, and SoD.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?

Name and shame the firms doing stealth lay-offs.

What is the salary slab for IC2 and IC3 verification in NVIDIA India?

Tax Staff 1, currently making 56k. You think it’s wild if I ask for 59/60 as a salary raise ?

Can anyone refer me in Wipro. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have an interview at EY and I wanted to know what kind of questions can I expect in the 2 rounds following the screening call ? I was told the 2nd round will be with a panel of three people and if I move on to the next round then the 3rd will be a team based interview. I could really use some help.

Any idea where the ceiling is for Deloitte SM in M&A strategy? What's the next step up from SM? and what the band is there?

Leaving VC in SF after 4 years, spent 2 years in IBD. Got industry offer for Director level role in strategy / Corp dev M&A at a late stage pre-IPO unicorn (Series D+) at a MCOL city. 200 base, 20% bonus, additional 40k/yr options. So $280K range all in starting. I’m currently making $250K in VC here in Bay Area. Job is in a MCOL T2 city (Boston/Dallas/Austin/Chicago) so I won’t be living in expensive Bay Area. Evaluate my offer please!

PwC Pricing and Profitability practice. Senior associate offer at $123k plus 15k sign on. Offering another 7.5k if I agree in 24 hrs. Any advice where I should land?

Can someone share perspective on ZS Associates? I don’t really see much on here about it. What is progression like? Type of work, clients (I know it’s heavy pharma). Exit options? MBA placement?

Isbthere any probation period for lateral?

Has HCl reopened their offices in India. I was having hr discussion and they told office have been reopened.

Anyone else manually tracking EE bonus/relo? We use ADP and the payroll process is very cumbersome. Looking for better ways to track this or possibly automate. Curious to hear how some folks are approaching this.

I landed my first job in tech as an IT Analyst. I want to be a Project Manager, do you think it’ll be hard to make a transition to Project Management.

I’m hiring a part time remote recruiter! Minimum of 3 years of recruiting experience, at least one year of DoD recruiting. Please feel free to message me if you’re interested or know someone who is!

I don't understand the point of hiring candidates. Its been more than two months and i am sitting idle. There is no updates from management. I am getting info like i will get half salary this month because of the bench policy. I m confused what to do next

Who is your role model?

Can someone refer me for the Business Analyst role at McKinsey? I’m currently working for Morgan Stanley and I have 3.5 yoe.

Gary Dahl got everyone whipped into a frenzy with "Pet Rocks" and TBH that makes me believe that marketing is like a form of wizardry

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.

Feedback for what’s working best at iCrossing and why?

What are some brands doing good work from in-house agencies beyond Spotify and Squarespace?

Are there any other survey companies you’ve gotten quick cash from like NewtonX?

Need some advice here🙏🏼 I got a new job at company A a month ago but haven't started there yet because I just quit my current job last Fri. Meanwhile, I'm having my last round interview next week...

Project Managers and Accounts folks - what are the opportunities for growth at your agency? How do you advance? Better title + salary? Better work/client/projects? How are you supported by superiors?

The bond yield curve just inverted. If you don’t have to make any major purchases for the next year, that’s probably a good thing

What are your top agency red flags? First month in a new agency and something doesn't feel right.

I was recently told that I wasn’t being promoted to AD. Now that I have quit, they are offering me an AD title if I stay. Why would they do that? I’m only good enough to be an AD now that I’m leaving?

What should you do if they don’t put your name on the credits of work that is yours? Anybody’s had this experience?

Didn’t know who the CCO is when I was asked about it in an interview... is there anything I can do to redeem myself? I feel like I really dropped the ball on this lol

If you got fired tomorrow, how long can you go without a paycheck? Assume you get 1 week of pay for every 6 months worked, and then can do unemployment after that ($425 a week)

If you got fired today would you have a Bach up plan? What would it be?

I’m feeling drained. Unmotivated, uninspired, & bored. My job takes all of my mental energy, but I can’t start looking for anything new yet. Any advice on how to handle a job that makes you miserable?

Any good/cool small agencies (50-100) in Chicago?

last night, i realized there are only 4 POC on my team.... and there’s at least 40-50 creatives. how sad.

Should I explore job offers while most business are still remote? Or should I stay where I am until going back into the office is an option and than explore job offers?

I just think it would be hard to start a new job remotely. THOUGHTS?!

We are hiring for several marketing roles in NY and Cambridge. Want to work for a good company with even better hours and pay? DM me. Sample roles open (below)

Are there any LA brands/agencies who would consider a candidate that’s not in LA... aka work from home (same time zone though)? 🤔

Male AD: Heading out early?
