Contemplating leaving a VP/AD role at a holding company agency for a C-level spot at a regional independent. Pay bump is modest and client roster less flashy, but I’d have a real hand in shaping the business. Given all the holding company shakeups, it feels like the right time, but will this make it harder to rejoin a national agency later, or set me apart down the road?

How much do banks like Citi, Barclaya, BofA, Amex pay data science employees with 5-6 yrs of exp and what band?

What does the pay range look like for a UX/UI Design Intern?
Background: Master’s in CS student based in NYC/NJ.

For my very first deal, I got put on a deal that is not my primary nor secondary industry. Should I be worried? I love the team but I really want to focus on the industries I feel passionate about.

Anyone with insight on Tyson Mendes?

I’m exhausted from interviewing and caseing 🥵

Anybody know of any art director positions open?

Hi fishes,
After joining, both laptop and desktop is sent. Is it done for everyone or for specific domain? And does this mean the flexibility of working from anywhere ceases to exist?

Hi are there any tax consultants in deloitte usi here?

PROPOSAL: Can we start naming names with respects to layoffs, furloughs, and pay cuts? Knowledge is power, and the only ones who benefit from vague exchanges of info. are the employers. Thank you!

Also wondering what curriculum is being used, if any, in your classrooms

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.

Hi everyone! Were there or are there any systems you were expected to be well trained in coming into your role? Thanks!!

Recommended reading (books, articles, training courses) for tech growth equity interview prep? Especially focus on P&L-logic, case studies, and operational improvements.

@guys, is it weird if a girl you don’t know DMs you and says she came across your profile on Hinge/thinks you’re cute? Is that creepy?

Context: I swiped right on a guy but he hasn’t matched with me so not sure if he X me out or just hasn’t checked the app (it’s been 2 days)

How do you recruit for startups? Exhausted from lack of responses from cold networking. What else should I do? I am aiming for roles in early stage startups. Didn’t study or work for long in US so don’t have a strong network.

Any fishies in MPLS and willing to share AE salary expectations?

What are some questions you could expect when interviewing for an AE position? Trying to nail this interview tomorrow, so any advice/tips are welcome. Thanks!

Any account management processes/docs that are worth sharing?

Hi Account friends! It’s the start of a new year and I was hoping you all could share any book / newsletter / blog / course recommendations that help keep you up to snuff. Feeling a bit stale and like the last year has been a tactical grind. I want to brush up on modern thinking for our industry - the latest and greatest marketing books, strategy perspectives, creative self help, etc. to feel more alive as we start 2022.

Comment your favs and THANK YOU in advance!

Does anyone work/has worked as an AM in the field of Architecture or in store planning? I’m currently in eCommerce/advertising but am speaking with a recruiter for an architecture which would be totally new for me.

Overall I’d like to know how you like the field, the pros and cons etc.

Are there any Certified SCRUM Masters, or Certified SCRUM Product Owners here?

I just got the certifications and I am wondering if it would be worth it take the more advanced courses (paying out of pocket).

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….

When’s the best time to go client side? Wait till I get a promotion or try to switch sooner rather than later?

What are some brands with an in-house agency? Looking to make a move to client side.

How long were you an SAE before promoting to AS?

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.

I am looking for an account executive with production experience to work on a fun national beverage account. 3-5 years experience. Located in nyc. Dm me for more info.

Trying to figure out from a client relations perspective how much I need to be fluent in Google Analytics and the planning and buying process of paid media: social and search.
I want to be more fluent and speak eloquently about it so that I am well rounded in my role.
My current position doesn't allow for any hands on experience. Any advice would be appreciated in terms of how to gain the experience or course recommendations.

Tired of hearing all the "account people suck” comments on this app. Get some new material creatives.

How long do you spend on monthly reporting for your clients?
My 3-person team spends about 15+ hours a month each writing monthly reports for our clients (99 small retainer clients). We’ve received feedback that they’re too complicated and the clients just want to know - are we on the right track, what action items are there, and what any next steps are in their strategy.
How do you simplify without losing value?

How much are my fellow VP Account Directors out there making? Just trying to gauge if I am being paid fairly. Don’t forget to state market and YOE. I am making $135k, 10 years of experience and in Chicago.

I got a promotion a year and 3 months ago, and got a pay raise 5 months ago. Could I still ask for a promotion to SAE if I have been supporting a team more as one? Promotions are hard to stab with.

Is there such thing as a true account role at major branding agencies? Ex. Interbrand, Landor, Pentagram...Sounds like in many cases it’s actually just PM under a different name.
