Can you get back to work and still have a career if you've been out of work for almost a year? I was laid off and have been looking ever since. I just want to know if I should give up.

Hi, What all client Wipro has in iDEAS D&C in wealth management and what all are good wrt learning and work life balance ? Thanks

Really burnt out from external audit at a B4. I just want to cruise by for a year until I can figure out my life. Not sure if a staff accountant position is the way to go… or maybe payroll? Other than internal audit, are there any accounting roles out there for someone who is terrible at managing stress haha

Currently 31 with 6.5 YOE and single . Should have NW of 250k by end of this year. (No significant assets in India). Considering this money all reminds invested I should have a decent nest egg for retirement. Have an LIC policy that will be worth arnd 50 lakhs when I surrender it (plan down payment for an apartment). Struggling to convince parents this should be enough for me to move back. They think I should move back when I have more financial security. What more should I plan for ?

What’s a reasonable amount to coinvest in a PEs fund? ~$300k nw

My company matches 3%. Is that low or on par?

For couples who are not married yet - Do you guys talk about net worth, income, or anything even finance related? I know my SO earns more given his current industry, but thinks it’s rude to talk about those things. But I’m wondering… isn’t it normal for couples who live together or are married share those info? For example - How am I going to know what to pay for our child’s education in the future etc?

How can someone find a job localizing marketing content (taking poorly translated material and fixing it up for US consumers)? I've heard that it's a real job but can't find much information about it

To ZSers who got onsite: How to get onsite opportunities as BTSA?

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

Why is this group so dead??
Something wrong with our Desi mentality ?
I am sure most of the people are single here, still it’s too empty and dull, what’s wrong with us 😂😂

How do agencies decide how much to bill clients? How much is their retention usually?

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.

When you know where you want to work, who do you reach out to first — the hr/talent/recruiter or directly to the CD or ECD depending on level? Or both?

Who does your taxes? Need a recommend. Thanks.

Who’s the best sound designer in NY

*meeting begins*
Strategist: we really think this brief could be fun. The client needs to promote this new product and we found...
Data guru: Data
Strategist: ahem, we found...
Data guru: DATA!
Strategist: we...
Data guru: BIG DATA!!!!!
*a tattoo grows on the data gurus neck. It’s a birthday cake that says Happy Data. There are no doors in the room. Everything turns to numbers. You die, then awake you are now the data guru. You try to speak and only data comes out*

Things are apparently going to get better after a client will be leaving, I’ll get to work on different brands but I am feeling pretty burnt out from the agency I’m at. Will new clients help? Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.

Anyone have the story behind how the atrocity that is “taste the feeling” got made?

Which one would you pick?

Big name shop. Shitty account, but you get opportunities beyond that.

Shop with bad reputation that lacks PR and hardly enters awards but has a lot of book-worthy projects.

If you could work at an agency for the rest of your career, would you do it? Or do you see being a professional creative as a means to another career altogether?

The industry is crumbling under our feet and I still can’t decide if I want to go in-house or not. I’m afraid it won’t be as exciting and I won’t travel as much. But also, I need a job. So 🤦‍♂️

Which is the right move for a young creative: free ride to portfolio school, or take a full time junior position where you’ve been interning?

Anyone wanna give me constructive criticism on my portfolio? 😪

I love living in NYC. Unfortunately, I haven’t found the kind of job I want here. Can someone suggest me other states where creative agencies are actually hiring?

Anyone having issues with their Mac after updating to Mojave? My machine is running like an old Atari and creative suite is essentially inoperable. And worst of all, Spotify won’t even open 😫

Looking to move to New York - does anyone know which agencies are hiring these days?

Has anyone burned some bridges yet? Just curious 😏
