Cringe things you witnessed this week:

Hi Fishes,
I am currently on notice period and looking for a referral in Capgemini for P2P.

Does anyone know about Leala Inc. it's a Japan based company, is it good to join?

Recently started my role as a Wealth Management Specialist, does anyone have any tips or insight on what I should do to make the most out of my role? What are ways to go above and beyond in order to make the most compensation?

Owning real estate is overrated, I’d rather rent all my life. Change my mind.

What is the notice period at Mphasis? Is it varies based on the band and level? Can anyone answer?

Need some help getting foot in the door - anyone who can assist an aspiring Financial Analyst ??

Hello Fishes, I've joined IBM last year( Oct 2021). Am I eligible for hike this year? If yes how much % can I expect? YOE - 4.2 years & pmr ratio - 1.12 band - 6B

I heard from my head that there is a lot of slowdown in VW Germany... There is Hiring freeze, level freeze and all ... And soon that will spillover to india. So be prepared for very less hikes in coming cycle :( Also automotive sector in general is struggling with tesla laying off 10% workforce recently. Maybe time to make a move? What do you say fishes?

Still waiting for the Heinz soup response

I have been promised a promotion three times now, but when the time comes, I'm told I'm not there yet. Why promise something if you clearly don't want to execute it?

Anyone been able to work from Dubai for a UK/US firm and benefit from no taxes? I know if you are a US citizen you pay taxes where you are globally, but if you are British, then you only pay income tax on UK income - so if you live more than half the year abroad you are classed as non-domicile resident, but wanted to hear if anyone’s done this or heard about it?

If anyone could answer this with accuracy, they wouldn’t be on Fishbowl but any guesses on when our 401k balances get back to where they were? Two years, five years? 💰

Everyone likes me because I'm a doormat with no boundaries. I do anything and say anything to make people happy. I will think what you think I should think. Will you be my friend?

I like catholic girls

No matter what I do, I can't fall asleep before 1am😔

Almost said the wrong name in bed yesterday; caught it right at the moment - the low-key panic I felt damn 😳

When does variable reflect in lti as hikes have come will we get the revised variable amount and what would be the percentage?

Hi,
Can anyone please refer me for big data analyst/developer role.
YOE: 3 Years
Any help would be appreciated.

Anybody know of any art director positions open?

Pharma Insight Bingo!? I’ll start. “Patients have settled for a new normal.”

What’s the best place to work in pharma these days?

Has anyone quit their job because of a relationship? I started my job 3 months ago and now my employer wants me to move to NY. The thing is, I fell in love during the pandemic with a friend that I have known for 3 years. It's frustrating since I know I could continue my job from home. I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.

Thoughts on TBWA\WorldHealth?

A recruiter there reached out to me about a Copy Sup job. What should I be looking out for?

Pros / cons working on a launch?

Word to all of you out there, if you trash talk other people within your industry (and clients), they will find out and they soon may be in a position to decide if they want to hire you. Happened to several people I know. When will people learn that egos and talking shit is so outdated. 🙄

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

How’s McCann Health doing these days? Culture/businesses/client?

Any thoughts on McCann Health NY, and Red flags? Do they have a good structured/balanced workflow and team per department for things to be balanced out for each member, and good work-life balance? Anything to consider when applying there?

What’s the average salary range for a GAS?

Who did the schizophrenia ads? They’re pretty cool tbh

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.

Apparently some journals can prevent sci-hub from sharing their content now.

Do you know of a sci-hub alternative for free journal articles?

Hi fishbowl! I am an award winning freelance creative behind a big viral campaign, I am available to start a new gig this Monday, my current freelance gig at a big pharma agency is ending. My expertise is big dangerous ideas as well as design. I take my ideas from concept to execution. Please reach out if you’d like to see my website / connect.

Friendly tip: Don't burn bridges even with those who are leaving - our industry is small (even in Manhattan) and you will almost certainly see that person again if you stay in pharma

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.

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics

I feel like a handful of companies aren’t making it very clear if they are willing to hire you as remote and/or hybrid. What has been everyone’s experience while applying during these new times? Have you just been applying to whatever job post peaks your interest and then discuss during an interview what you are expecting?

Is Havas Health and You different from Havas Life? What are the main differences, culturally and business-wide?
