Curious to know where agencies like Adam&Eve DDB or Area23 will fall under after the merge.

Men 🐠- On an average, why do Indian men act so weird or awkward around women in general in public ? Esp around pools, beaches, outdoor activities, etc. Understand it may not apply to all and am not trying to sound racist/smug/etc. Genuinely don't understand and am curious to hear y'alls opinion!

Anyone up for a virtual summer time meal this weekend?

Have a BCG interview coming up, but also current project is at an all time work high...any suggestions on how to juggle the two? obvs don’t want to just piss off my current responsibilities

Does BNP APAC does background verification before sending offer letter or after sending the offer letter?

I have not been asked about the educational certificates yet.

They have only asked the PAN, PASSPORT and Current employer salalry slips and promotion letter.

P.s - I have recieved the offer letter now.

Will they be still doing any background verification or this is done ?

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

So I worked from home yesterday and my husband had a sneak peak on my meetings with clients (which I’m very new to being a senior). He mention that I should read some sales pitch books of some sorts so I can get a process down and not be drain from having genuine conversations with every client. I think it’s a great idea. Anyone have thoughts or recommendation?

I have “unlimited vacation” at my firm. How much vacation/PTO is given at big law firms that don’t have unlimited?

Has anyone at their firm negotiated hourly pay?

I have a lot of mindless closing binder assembly today so I’ve been watching Restrepo and Korengal in the background. It.... really puts things in perspective. I feel like such a baby for complaining about long hours or stressing over emails.

Trying to win an office Halloween decorating contest and I set up this graveyard, but it just occurred to me to make it a lawyer joke like “here lies the bodies of our opposing counsels” or something along those lines, so gimme your best Halloween lawyer jokes! Here’s to hoping you will come up with something better 😂

Dealing with my firm's Foreign Accounts Payable team and keep snickering at the FAP acronym 😋

Have any of you taken "low bono" clients while working at a firm? I want to take on a low bono client or two but not sure who would get the money. This is a contract opportunity through a non profit so I'm assuming a 1099 will be issued. The per hour rate is significantly less than my billable rate. I would (obviously) like the money but my real objective is just getting experience/networking since I recently moved to a new state and don't have clients of my own.

I know someone earings 50 lakhs per annum with 5 years of experience in .net full stack technology. Is it possible this much growth in 5 years.

Gotta love losing a referral bonus because the person didn’t show up their first day & decided not to quit their old job 🤯

I’ve been having reoccurring nightmares about getting laid off :(

Curious how people manage health/exercise schedules if you are working pretty much the whole day?

recently moved to a new city where i have to take the metro 20 min everyday each way. any recommendations on what’s to do during that time other than listening to music/audiobooks?

Is it just me or is everyone in this industry in a relationship?

I don’t understand how people keep posting about the bench and being unassigned. I’m in advisory(not audit) and my entire LoS is trending 90%+ utilization

Publicis Groupe - CapGemini - Accenture. Anyone else put there hearing the same chatter??

Does anyone have any intel about The Gate NY or MSQ Partners?

I feel inadequate and unsure of how or if to acknowledge the US/Buffalo racist murders and terrorism of this weekend in the workplace. I don’t want to do disservice or unintentionally further traumatize anyone. I know my Black colleagues are traumatized. I am horrified. And yet we just have our meetings and I guess compartmentalize it away.

Can anyone recommend a good recruiter for Amsterdam? Thanks

Is it just me or is everyone in this industry in a relationship?

Looking for emotional support after been laid off and second baby is on the way.

Can anyone share any examples of outstanding direct to consumer healthcare ads?

Have any NYC agencies pushed back their back to office dates?

Things have been super stressful at work lately for a variety of reasons & a couple of weeks ago I decided to raise the issues with my Creative Director.
For context, he’s the reason for a lot of these problems and I (tactfully, I think) said as much. He listened to me patiently but took no responsibility and deflected blame with every issue raised.
Today he asked me to send an email to him about how overworked I am so that he can use it to talk to management. (cont. in comments)

With so many professionals working from home due to Covid-19, what are your tips / strategies for being productive when WFH?

Any good WFH stories from this week?

Thoughts on "social media" agencies? I have an opportunity but can't help but think my IQ will drop significantly.

Last minute town halls are terrifying. The anticipation is killing me!

Anyone have a recommendation for books or resources on upping my sales game? Open to in person class, online class, books, etc!

The best brand of coffee is...

I have a strong junior book and won a Gold Pencil in the Young Ones recently, but can't seem to find a single job lead anywhere. Anybody know who in LA I should reach out to?
