Based on the current environment, if interest rates rise to what percentage, will you forgo buying a house for now?

Any staple brands for a first year analyst’s wardrobe?

Hourly pay rate

Is there an easy way to switch XLOOKUPS to INDEX MATCH? Have a large file with bunch of formulas that don't work on all client machines (different excel versions).

Can one switch from Deloitte India to Deloitte USI ?
If yes, what is the process?

I have a really great production coordinator that’s working under me and because of money issues, he hasn’t been given a raise or promotion in nearly two years. He works his ass off and everyone loves working with him. Does any know of any junior producer roles at agencies? Would love to help him out.

LA: after months of layoffs and salary reductions, we are back! Looking to hire a rockstar LA-based Project Manager at our small independent agency.

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits. I actually think this could be a whole separate class for students of all ages. Learning about conflict resolution, growing your own self-regulation skills...it's really important.

Started at my first agency 3 mo. ago. I’m doing great work on exciting clients, but I often feel uninspired and drained. Is it growing pains or is this the wrong industry for me? How will I know?

My team oversees internal comms and we’re in the process of signing on BananaTag.

Any fishies out there that can share what level of reporting + KPIs you’re providing leadership?

We plan to use it for exec comms and department-level leadership (HR, IT, etc.).

We’ve historically done mass communication through Outlook, so this will be our first time getting insight into staff e-mail + Teams performance.

Candid thoughts on the Ogilvy LA office?

What are some of your recos for the best comms/PR books and sites to learn more deeply and further your knowledge in your role?

What's the vibe of the FH NY team these days? I know a lot of big name accounts (att, Samsung, citi) but is the culture strong?

Guys please help me with 11 love on my profile to enable DM.

See the George Floyd trial verdict will be announced in the next hour.

How are you counseling clients around this? Or, are you not counseling clients on this?

Curious to hear from the bowl.

Hi everyone, any tips for resignation letters, who to meet/tell first, what to do before your last day (i.e. anything adulty like 401K or healthcare)? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Best PR firms for digital agency?

I’ve been at Golin for a while and interested in what the outside opinion is of our agency. What are people saying about us?

I was passed up for a promotion after 1.5 years at the agency/in the role despite consistently great feedback and was told that I just needed more time in role. A guy with my experience level was....

What does a good earned media strategy look like to you?

Had a great job interview. C-suite liked you & your ideas & seemed like they would offer. A day later, they change the job posting to show less experience is needed & took off $125k salary. Thoughts?

What’s the word on the street about work life balance at Edelman? Are the hours insane?

Hello all, for those working in an agency. I wanted to see what your typical client workload is? I’ve been in my role for about a year but the workload has changed dramatically without hiring help.

Can you please share:
- the number of accounts you manage
- how many support staff you have on those accounts
- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!

Which recruiters do you all find have the best connections to in-house job opportunities? I am DONE with agency life. TIA!

What are the key differences in an account management role between PR firms and traditional ad agencies? Are there any major skills someone would need to build when transitioning to ad land? Or is a lot of it transferable?

15 YOE, recently started my first tech PR job at a large, stable company & have been asked to get ~20 SMEs in front of media. Subject matter is not sexy. I lead PR for all of U.S. & have no other PR colleagues. My agency’s budget is 100k/year & they’re spread too thin to hit their KPIs. I feel set up to fail & feel we should be focusing on a handful of SMEs and only our sexiest topics. Any advice on mitigating unrealistic expectations for coverage? Anyone handled similar problems in the past?

Does anyone know about Bevel PR? What have you heard? I am interviewing with them. Thank you.
