👀 Cannes Lions is investigating one of its Grand Prix winners: https://adage.com/events-awards/cannes-lions/aa-investigating-grand-prix-winner/

Welcome to the 30s and 40s singles bowl! Here’s to hoping the posts in this bowl are a bit more mature. Relying on the honor system here, try not to lie about your age.

Anyone do cyber strategy work at EY and available for questions? 😊

I started a new job in May. I took a step down from Paralegal to Legal Asst. At my interview I was told that to them the title was interchangeable & I would be doing Paralegal work, especially considering that I knew how to do the heavy Paralegal work. But it’s been 6 months of tedious admin work & when I point out mistakes on pleadings, question case strategy or discovery methods, & suggest more effective ways to get things done, I get these weird looks or the brush off. What can I do?

Where do you find the time to get everything done in the day when you have multiple partners, associates and equity partners that interrupt you and want things turned around immediately while simultaneously working on deadlines? I feel like I’m the only one that can’t manage a 70+ case load without letting someone down. I constantly have to say “Can I do this tomorrow?” Etc. I don’t even have time to bill on the clock. I work until 7p at least every night. Top 10 family law firm.

Anyone else at work this week and have zero work to do because of the holidays? 🤣🤣🤣

Out of my whole start class maybe 3 were diverse staff 1s in my office. There is no black leadership and it seems like no matter what i do no one wants to connect with me, it’s very discouraging.

How to deal with people flirting with you at work.
I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

Any inexpensive men’s black dress sock recommendations?

I received my PR and want to start looking for jobs in Canada. Don’t want to transition to current company’s Canadian office as I have burnt bridges here. US Mid tier MBA + 2 years in Consulting contd

Looking for custom suit tailor recommendations for both men and women (not indochino). Also, if anyone has used Trend Custom Tailors I’d be curious to hear your reviews. Thanks!

Looking for suggestions on qualifications I should pursue.

I'm a Junior Project Manager, pivoting myself into the consulting industry. I have a Business Analysis Foundation certificate and considering pursuing Prince 2 Foundation and Practitioner.

Is Prince 2 worth it for my long term goals? And how valuable is it? Is there other qualifications worth pursuing e.g. Prince 2 Agile?

TIA

How you guys are surving in EY. Its been 9 months no peace of mind. Counselors and SA are shouting at me, working with deadlines. I'm done with EY.

Who’s worked with The Selby recently? Would love to hear how your experience was. He would direct and shoot stills in this instance.
Thanks in advance!

Blank page requirement in Passport

I have multiple blank pages in my Passport but they are all interspersed, i.e. no two consecutive pages are blank. Does that matter for new visa stampings? My understanding is that Schengen countries require 2 consecutive blank pages. Can someone confirm please whether I need a renewal? Thank you

I got an offer from Gartner for software engineer (advanced) role and they are offering me really good salary package.
1. How is the quality of work in terms of full stack web development with respect to latest tech and career growth.
2. How is the work life balance for software engineers ?
3. What is the difference between their software engineer and software engineer (advanced) role?

How do you answer the question about yourself in i-944 where you can indicate "self" and it asks you if you live with said individual "self", and if this individual is filing for an immigration benefit with you or has in the past (again it's weird because you're talking about yourself.. ).

Anyone have insight on salary for Fragoman/BAL in SF for a 6th year?

Why are we as a group not so active in helping each other ? I understand there are many members who joined with aspirations to learn DS. But existing members from DS are not active. sad sorry

Dogs in offices are cool, but who's offering some comfy siesta benefits? 😴💤

I’m a strategist interested in branding shops like interbrand. But I hear they aren’t doing well these days since everyone claims to be a brand consultant. Also I’m curious about the work

Hi friends, I am reading this book ‘radical cander’ and was wondering if you have Fav way/ example of receiving and giving tough feedback? Or have any stories about feedback that have stuck with you through your career.

Anyone else see that Walmart Office Space spot? So clever!

Calling all managers with junior, intern and mid teams: Who is taking (or is being given) the time to train their juniors on the necessary hard and soft skills? If not, what’s stopping you from providing that support?

Best (non-agency) company to work at in Boston??

So I was laid off. Is it okay to talk about it at my next job interview? Feels like everyone knows anyway.

So, I work in an agency, but recently someone reached out to me for freelance writing work. I guess it'll be long form ad copy, as they're asking me for a rate per word...
I have no idea what's standard here

Best way to find a mentor? I'm trying to better my book to get better jobs but I need some guidance.

Two months ago applied for a "dream role" at a "dream company" (not an agency). I am qualified for the role & they are looking for ppl with agency experience. a few days after applying a recruiter

how many of you get high before/during work?

🙋🏻‍♂️

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

Anyone from MediaCom on here?

If you get an offer a few days before you have a final interview (or while you're waiting to hear back), is it okay to ask for some time? Or do they expect you to answer right there?

i'm in the final round for 2 different media positions in 2 completely different places (NYC and NC) and things are moving really quickly for both. the NYC job is my dream one but they're both offering $40k so i'm conflicted. any advice would be helpful lol

The agency I work at has been struggling for more than 1.5 years. A mass exodus ensued naturally. Do I stay or go too? I'm not that unhappy and things have to get better?

Hypothetically, what might happen, if Strat said to fishbowl they needed a virtual hug? Other than CD potentially saying something snarky and mean ...hypothetically only.

Okay let's say I got a job in the marketing department at Netflix. Would it be a plus to have a company like them on my resume, or make it harder to get back into an agency later on?

In NYC going from Junior CW to Mid at same agency. Currently making 72k. How much to shoot for?

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

Is anyone else having trouble just BEING back at the office… for a full day? Even if it’s hybrid. It’s like driving me insane just sitting here in silence and making small talk from 9-5:30. I feel so trapped.
