I’ve seen quite a few people online talk about how digital marketing is dying or on its way out because of AI and other automation tactics. Is any of that true, or are people just overreacting?

When they say utilization doesn't count for the month of May/June what exactly does that entail? I'm assuming being on the bench for those months will still show on personal utilization reports...

What do people think about maxing the 401k vs keeping the cash more liquid in a brokerage account. I know it’s more tax beneficial to do the 401K, but I don’t want to be cash poor in 5 years when I look to buy a house.

I am writing this message besides the staff group of EY GDS. Specifically Staff -1 at assurance level. I would request everyone to spare few minutes and read it -

Wanted to bring out that staff-1's are paid peanuts (3.33L CTC) please don't expect them to slog 12-13 hours. They don't have enough motivation or incentives to work that long. Seniors,AM's and Managers should be more kind and explain the work to them clearly rather than making last minute changes.

Are there any investment club bowls here? I was thinking maybe there should be a desi group here for this. If not, how many of you would be interested in joining one.

I may well be coming to this very late. (Apologies if it’s already been pointed out.) But I notice that in The Mandalorian Werner Herzog plays a mysterious evil leader in the former Empire who wants to capture or kill baby Yoda. This deadly destroyer of hope is known only as.... the client.

Account Managers. If you are the client’s day to day, can you list out your roles and responsibilities? I’m working with PR, and these account people are the absolute WORST. Help.

Hi. I'm a Copywriter and I'm looking for a new job. Any CD's or recruiters hiring here? My book is pretty good for my level and I'm at a big NY agency. I'm looking to stay in NY but would be down for remote. Let me know how to get in touch and I'll send you my book!

Are remote, freelance internships that are project-based with short term contracts a thing in the agency world?

Has anyone ever turned down a job offer and regretted it? I was told to reconnect in the future if I’m interested because they’re extremely interested, but I’m not sure if that’s just talk. I’m thinking about reaching out. Anyone think that’s weird/unwise?

Has anyone seen/created any unique media executions or co-branded efforts lately? Client is looking for something "innovative" without explaining how they're defining innovation.

What products/brands do you want to see ads for in the Super Bowl this year? Wrong answers only.

Choosing between two offers right now and not sure what to do. Both places have solid reputations, option A’s maybe slightly better. I like the location of option A more and think it would open up more doors long term. Option B is also a good opportunity and maybe would be more satisfying short term. Option B offered more $ but hoping to leverage that to see if option A can match. Are there any other big things to think about that I’m missing?
