Current & former Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) members: is/was a membership worth it for you? I'm looking to expand my network to increase potential mid-level job opportunities, as well as attend webinars/events for professional development purposes, but am unsure if the cost is worth the output. What's the best thing that your membership has resulted in?

Hi,
My date of joining in TCS is 16th November 2022

- Will the onboarding be virtual or physical?
- How many days would it take before I get a laptop and start working?

I’m getting a crazy good deal on the Ritz (~250 per night) in Miami - but it uses a Corp code for a company I don’t work for. Worth the risk?

Is AlixPartners healthcare or Alvarez & Marsal HIG recruiting now?

Investor’s Business Daily: worthwhile?

Started my Roth IRA in 2019 and bought some funds that aren’t doing so well. I want to trade them for an index fund that the majority of my Roth IRA is in. Will I be penalized for “selling” before a certain amount of time? I don’t plan on taking the money out until retirement, just want to reallocate.

I started a small LLC on the side. My company is getting it's first client this month.

Wondering if any 🐟 have recommended resources on setting up initial consulting business thru an LLC.

Books, websites, tax strategies etc.

My LLC is already incorporated, but looking for guidance with the next steps (creating contracts, invoices, etc)

How do you manage a long distance relationship? I got engaged 3 months ago and my fiancé and I live in different cities. I just can’t stop thinking about her and feel horrible there on.

What would you do if you didn’t need money? I have a fair amount coming one day and don’t actually need to work to live a good life (middle / upper-middle class). I work because of this vague notion of “ambition” and because everyone I grew up around is highly competitive and hard driving. I just feel unhappy so often and am wondering what this is all leading to. Scared I’m wasting my life being unhappy / in turmoil cause it’s what my culture wants me to do.

Stupid me thought Accenture is different. Like any other consulting firm, some MDs literally gave away their soul to the devil once you got promoted.

PE to HF - harder than it seems?

Been thinking about the other post about ADHD jobs. Any other job hoppers here or people with non linear careers? Or maybe you got a specific degree and are now doing something completely different? This has been a decade-long struggle for me.

Trying to better serve the work and would love any of your thoughts on the following...

What agencies are hiring for junior consumer roles?

I'm looking to return to the U.S. after over a decade living and working in SSA (Marcom for ecommerce startups and tech enabled nonprofits). I've been job hunting as I plan my move in the fall but haven't gotten any serious bites. Does anyone have any pointers to ease the process of transcontinental job hunting?

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!

Has anyone done a collab with influencer MIKIRAI? I know she’s a big deal but i’m trying to figure out if she’s worth the money, our agency just had a bad experience with an influencer and the client is not happy. We need to make a comeback! All insights are appreciated.

Poll: would you take a job for a lot less than you’re making now but you’d work half the hours and have a lot less stress, yet still be doing work that motivates and inspires you (and builds your portfolio)?

Anyone know of any great agencies that work in the purpose/social impact space? I am interested in looking into this area.

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 made the switch to in house and omg it’s so slow. I knew it’d be a bit slower than agency but I accomplish less in a month than I used to in a day. Is this how all in house jobs are or has anyone found a faster pace in house gig?

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?
