Been offered a job in-house. For a tech brand. Could go from a MW salary to an ACD salary overnight. Marketers are all ex-agency, have big ambitions for the work. They have brand partners so briefs wouldn’t all be for 1 brand. Is it worth it this early on in my career? I’d also get stock options on top of huge salary increase.

Anyone knows total compensation for a strategy director in one of the big canadian banks?

Hi everyone,

I am a pediatric occupational therapist with 4 years of experience. I currently work at a pediatric hospital in the Philadelphia area and make 71k. Is this a fair salary for someone with my experience? An annual review is coming up and I’m wondering what would be a fair range to negotiate?

pwc offering 8k referal bonus for seniors and managers and 10k for SM and directors. an extra 1k if u were once a pdub. send me ur resume. we split the bonus lol.

Left UK 5 years ago as Mgr because got fed up of low comp (and really, it’s the comp:houseprice ratio). Felt like unless you were in IB or Magic Circle law then getting on the property ladder was v difficult. But now wife wants to move back home - and trying to find the right moment when pay cut will be the smallest... Are there pathways to earn £180-200k as a Director at the Big4, or is Partner the only ticket to doing so?

When people ask you for YOE, do you include your time in grad school at all? I feel like writing that you have 2 YOE when you’re 30 years old gives a warped sense of level and compensation.

Hi Big4 Fishes,

My KPMG HR had verbally told me that I would be eligible for the relocation benefits once office resumes...and a annual bonus ranging from 10-30% of CTC

But there's no mention of that in the OL...

Shall I ask her to generate a new OL or not required?

Thank you🙏🏾

Just received an offer for a TPM role - Fully remote TC - $125k base w/10% annual bonus (no stock options, no sign on bonus). My current - remote, could switch to hybrid, TC - $110 base w/10% annual bonus, $20k stock options vested over 4 years and a $5k sign on bonus I have to pay back if I leave before May 2023.

New company won’t budge on a sign on bonus. Does it still make sense to accept the offer?

Have an offer in industry. It’s a relatively new company that is growing fast and lots of opportunity to move up quickly and make a difference. Salary increase wouldn’t be large but enough to make a difference. My heart wants to do it but there is risk involved - not as much stability as the Big 4 company I work for and I’m supporting a family. What do I do? Follow my passion or stay in the safe zone given things are still up in the air with Covid? I appreciate your opinion fishes!

Hi Fishes,

Working at Infy of 10LPA on AWS, DevOps.
Got offer from TCS of 15LPA
Serving NP - 45 days left.

People around are saying save tcs for retirement. I am confident enough that I will get a better salary offer than TCS in next 45 days. Will turning down TCS offer really cost in future? What should I do.

Anyone can shed some light on the salary ranges for PMO technical lead senior associate at PwC? location: SoCal
thanks!!

What do you think of this quote? “For us engineers we don't get paid to do things right. We get paid to do things just right enough." Does it ring true for you?

Anyone heard of Odessa inc. Would like to get some reviews.

I work part-time as a freelance designer in a marketing agency and recently asked my boss for more hours. He said he'll help me with more projects but all he's done is assign more work to me without extending my hours, and he said he's not willing to pay me overtime. Now I'm scared to lower my workload because he will just say I am lazy and don't want to work. How do I get out of this?

Best Small / Indie Agencies in London?
Have very quickly and admittedly, rather fortunately found myself entrenched in the big bad world of massive agency within a massive holding company.
But I originally left ad school wanting to work somewhere smaller and a bit more “fun”. What agencies have that vibe at the moment?

Other than the obvious (Uncommon/W+K/Droga -even tho they’re not that small or indie any more)

Right - im off tomorrow for two days - any fun events or things to do in London?

Does w&k ldn have any senior mgt left? Neil Christie, Tony Davidson, Ian Tait, Kim Papworth all gone. Ben Armistead gone too right? What’s happening?!

According to LinkedIn, there’s a hiring frenzy going on but all I see are junior roles for under 35k to work on social. Is this the “frenzy” they’re talking about?

35k for a copy job. Recruiter says that number can go up and I'm more qualified than other applicants. How far would you push?

When your CD squeezes your ass at the Christmas party ☹️

At my first agency job, I was
- Paid pennies to work 55 to 100 hour weeks.
- Bullied by senior members of staff about my appearance and poor quality clothing. (The best I could afford on what they were paying me.)
- Looked down on and generally disrespected constantly.
- Falsely accused of theft with no evidence.
- Ordered to lie about my religion.
- Unfairly dismissed one week before the one year mark, where I'd have grounds to take them to a tribunal.
How was your first job?

biggest sociopath you have ever worked with ? dare ya to spill the beans ....

Thinking of returning to London after working in the US for a while. Is the current London ad scene as bad as everyone tells me?

Who leads creative at WK now since Ian and Tony left?

Moving to London next year because my partner got a job. Will be looking for a gig but don’t know anyone in the industry. Are there any general practices I should know about that might help? I’ll probably be doing a lot of cold emailing. Is it more common to reach out to recruiters/talent people or CDs? Also I know agencies tend to prefer hiring in teams but obv not an option for me. Would looking on my own be much of a problem? Any other advice would really help. Also a POC if that matters…

What are MediaMonks UK like? Feel like I read about them everyday, but don’t see much of their work. Any good?
