Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.

Hi all,

I am an IT professional having almost 5 years of experience and want to move to Canada for PR. My CRS score is not upto the cut off. I need someone who can help in earning connections points for Manitoba PNP program.

As it allows having an acquaintance or a friend to earn those 20 points, it can help my PR application.

Anyone who is PR and resident of Manitoba can dm me to discuss around it. I am ready to pay for this assistance as well.

I'm a Test Automation Engineer, with 5+ years of experience in web and mobile test automation. I have created my express entry profile and my CRS score is 475, which is lesser than the current cut off(512). I would really appreciate any job referrals which will help me get a PR.
THANKS🥰

I am an instructional designer with more than 3 years experience, can someone refer me to Deloitte, Toronto. I have the reference code with me. Thanks in advance

BCG 🐠, How much salary I should ask for a consultant role? I am an experienced hire from big 4 with 6+ yrs exp.

For arguments sake let’s say you make $180k as a Senior Creative in Los Angeles, and you’re asked by a recruiter what you’re looking for what do you say?

Scenarios
A) Lateral Move
B) Title Change

Based on Guliannis press briefing, I think we have all the evidence needed fora 5150 mental evaluation hold. Dead Hugo Chavez was apparently manipulating our election.

How many days does Michelin usually take to release offer letter? I had salary discussion with HR on May 13th, 2022.

Any other recruiters in this bowl?

Has anyone tried to take an in-person GMAT recently? Are they allowing in-person tests or have you been rescheduled?

There’s a lot of hype around the new Lego Star Wars game. Is it actually good?

Hi everyone,
I was doing a brief overview of GMAT math, and I feel like I need to start studying math from ground 0. Can anyone provide and advice from personal experience, or from that of a friend? My goal is to get into a t-20 MBA program. Thank you in advance! Happy holidays

When non-ad ppl ask you what do you do? In terms of title; do you tell them “copywriter”? Or immediately assume they dont know and might confuse it with copyright infringement, and just end up telling them that you’re a writer or a creative director, and skip the hassle

Hi ,
My manager told he raised my ITA promotion. Where i can track that in ultimatix?

“Released to RMG. Update your skill profile”…what to do next ? I recently joined and was assigned to a project but their requirements changed and my manager has released me effective 10 Feb. What should I do next to get assigned to a project?

Now I’m curious.. BEST clients you’ve ever worked with? I’ll start - Disney, Fox theatrical.

Has this happened to anyone else recently?

Recruiter on LinkedIn: Hey we saw your work and were impressed with your ____ project. we’d love to setup some time to chat.

Me: ok great. Here’s when I’m free_______

Recruiter on LinkedIn: Sorry have to cancel the meeting, doesn’t seem like your experience matches the job we are currently offering.

This has happened 4 times in the past few months. Like you reached out to me??

Dogs in offices are cool, but who's offering some comfy siesta benefits? 😴💤

Is there a list somewhere of all the notable in-house agencies? Or maybecc be a better question what the top in-house agencies?

Has anyone worked on the creative team for Hilton corporate? As someone who loves travel (and Hilton hotels) this always appealed to me. Wondering if anyone can shed some light on the reality of working there.

Has anyone successfully made the leap from digital to brand planning? Any advice?

What do you do when you have down time at work?

Any guidance about taking a job at a social agency? Is it as bad as everyone says it is?

So… if twitter disappears… how many social creatives teams jobs are disappearing as well? Will agencies lay folks off over this?

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️

Dear KBS, today we received 17 all agency emails. Yesterday it was 20. Surely upper management has a better way to use their time. Make it stop. Love, KBS

TBWA NY layoffs today.

Serious question: why work in advertising if you’re not a creative? I know plenty of smart account people, strategists, data analysts etc. who would almost certainly make more money and enjoy more autonomy in a different field, or at least in-house. What’s the allure if you don’t represent the product?

If my work starts with the strategy, and I successfully demonstrate how the creative ties to the strategy, and we all agree the connection is clear, then how is the work still deemed "off-strategy"?

How do you handle people’s kids showing up on video meetings? Screaming, kicking, hamming it up, (wasting time.) Everyone else is coo-ing…I’m not a kids person. Heard a technique which is to drop off the call bc you “assume the call is over” (which seems like a great way to get fired especially if it’s a way higher up’s kids - plus it feels rather passive aggressive.) Thoughts?

I have never done freelance work and was given the opportunity to take part in a cool project. My problem is it’s a proactive case by a brand new agency and it’s their own project, meaning there’s no client who pays for the work. For them it’s PR for their new business, but I think they’re expecting me to work completely pro bono. It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?

Like I’m sure many of you, I’m tired of the word “empower.” But the thesaurus isn’t really giving me anything that feels right. Have you seen any unique or more authentic alternatives?

If you could ask a partner of your firm any question anonymously, what would you ask?
