I’ve only worked with women and am dying to work with a man. I requested this and still got put with another female partner 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know I should say woman, but I feel like it breeds more diverse thinking the more different two peoples perspectives are (which can happen w some F/F teams or M/M teams too) but I’ve preferred my M partner to my two F’s

I really prefer working with another woman, but it’s much easier to get work approved by men when I’m partnered with a man. And my bosses have almost all been men.

I’ve had good and bad experiences with both, but generally prefer men.

I'm a female and have only had male partners. Some great, Some bad. I'd love to try working with the right female. I have had some great female mentors that make me hopeful that it will work well.

There are pros and cons to both. Depends on the person really. But as much as I hate HATE to say it, I do find working with a male has its advantages when clients aren’t taking me seriously and my male partner backs me up. HATE this.

I’m a female and just think women are passively competitive with one another and catty. So I enjoy working with guys.

I’ve worked with both and prefer a male partner

Haven’t had a partner in years but when I did, female.

I’ve had both good and bad male and female partners. It’s way about the person and your chemistry than gender. I do think a male partner can bring a different perspective, but so can a female one with a different background, ethnicity, interests etc.

The fact traditional/legacy agencies still have partners will forever boggle my mind. Let creativity evolve.

Been w/ my bf 5.5 yrs, but I keep wondering when he's going to "get it together". He's been fired from 2 manager jobs in less than a year, one because he was caught doing coke there (off-duty). Now he's bartending under the table. I have huge concerns that he has serious drug/alcohol problems but it also just boils down to, does he want to improve? He's the kindest, sweetest person and we really love each other. But at some point I need my partner in his mid-30s to have a savings account 🤷‍♀️

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager. I was just promoted as an account director when I quit my job and moved to the U.K and now having so much trouble finding a job as an AD. My last interview feedback was that they really liked me but felt like I was lacking new bizz skills and that the organic business growth opportunities I found and jumped on were “luck aka right place at the right” moment kinda thing?

I feel like people don’t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up. Usually the requests I have come from my boss or for big projects we’d be working on. Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but they’ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though I’m happy she’s helping, it’s such a pain in the ass to wait around.

Working on a campaign and I wrote the first version of the script that was chosen. My CW partner crafted it and then I made revisions. It’s been a super collaborative process and so rewarding. We’re both so proud of this piece. It’s manifesto-y and the writing is what makes it sing, so it hurts a little (or a lot) when my partner gets tons of praise from like, THE TOP, for the writing and doesn’t acknowledge me. Do ADs ever get co-writing credits? Do I just need to get over my ego? *big exhale*
