CGLife once again destroying the souls of its staff. To my knowledge, most of the PMs, accounts, strat and creative are interviewing. No bonuses or raises, unlimited FTO but penalized if you take it, creatives average 60 hours of billable a week, so called leadership lacking basic leadership skills particularly on creative. Toxic toxic.
But hey if you’re looking for a toxic environment where you only succeed if you too are a toxic loudmouth with nothing of substance to say, they’re hiring.

Has anyone switched from a service based/consultancy company to JPMC? Can you please share your experience. Also, what are the differences you have observed (Good or Bad). Thanks

Anyone else going to quit right when offices reopen? Honestly I hate the idea of going back into the office.

A coworker asked me to do something, I should have questioned it but did it because I trusted their seniority. I got called out for it by our boss on an email. Should I say something? I am planning to apologize to my boss and mention I’ll run it by them next time. But not sure if I should mention I had checked with my coworker who was in charge of that area.

Hi all! Just got my perm approved woohoo. Filed in December. I know next step is I-140 and adjustment of status. How fast does this go? When will I hold a green card

I’m moving to Denver with my husband and cat from Dallas. We are 39 and 40. No kids, we will both be working from home. The idea is to rent for a year and see if we like it. I’m interested in the nature opportunities and I’m in ok shape. Otherwise we are homebodies but committed to making the most of our time there within reason. His sister and family live in the Central Park neighborhood but we don’t have to be around there necessarily. Where should we be looking?

Starting to realize that the workload in Public Accounting isn’t bad, it’s fitting it in after 8 hours of back to back meetings that’s the tricky part.

When leaving as an audit manager, if you’re going to a competitor and they ask you to leave the day you give notice, do they always pay you out the 2 weeks or are you technically fired?

How hands-on are you in scrum meetings?

Anyone looking for a PM with a coding/QA background, retail/e-commerce/pharma experience; open to hearing about new roles.

Any suggestions for a 3-4 days trip during year end /Christmas? 

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!

Hi Fishes,
Is anyone getting calls from naukri for java and Springboot roles?
My yoe: 2.8
Or hiring is slowed down due to current situation?
Please let me know

How does one go about switching practice groups within the same firm? I was under the impression it’s better to lateral elsewhere but I do really like my firm, just not the work in this practice area. Want to switch from transactional to litigation.

The normalization of "on hold" by the usual suspects. Had 6 interviews in past 4 months with D_itte Get the verbal offer from HR. Yay. Fast forward to following Monday. Get thanked for my complimentary followup sent post-final interview. 48hrs later, same recruiter (on speakerphone) tells me job is now hold and "you must be upset" and good luck in your search.

Tacky AF. Tell me I was rejected by the shadowy 5-person board or it was given to someone who wanted less. Just not this b.s.

Any advice for a CD team who wants to move to pharma? We’ve freelanced in the space, but don’t have work in our books. Currently we’re running a large CPG brand, FT at a network agency in NYC.

How do we get them to shorten the consumer ISI? It serves no ethical purpose and physicians hate it. Here’s my version:

Have an interview to work with a global pharma company and i have to send videos of me answering questions. Anyone had a similar interview process?

Thoughts on Pfizer’s canvas for developing emails and iDetails?

If I was a junior on a team during a campaign launch, is that something I can put in my book? I helped during the concepting phase, was responsible for keeping the boards up to date, and wrote a lot of the supporting materials (print, social etc) but obviously I was not on the shoot or the lead on writing the script. As long as I’m clear about my role is that acceptable?

Has anybody moved into Pharmaceutical Marketing from Consumer Marketing? Thinking about it as a potential career decision. Understand the biggest challenge in my market is the inability to market to consumers.

Can anyone tell me about which pharma/health companies OR agencies have great WFH/remote/flex policies? I feel like Glassdoor and Indeed don't highlight that enough when it's one of the things I care about the most.

How much should I ask for for an Art Sup role?

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?

Anybody know of any art director positions open?

Is there special experience or knowledge you'd need to be effective at a GCD level in Pharma? Or is it like any other account, just different products? I'm considering making the switch from general market advertising.

Average SAE salary? Trying to get a gauge before I accept an offer.

So what’s the best agency right now, in terms of culture, work/life balance (lol), and work?

Any insights on the current salary to expect as a senior account supervisor/senior account manager in health at a PR/Comms agency? I know salaries have grown with demand over the past year so not sure what to ask for. Top ten agency, DC.
