Did anyone else here ever work on any Verizon marketing business? I saw that they just ended all Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts in order to get the FCC’s OK for their multi-billion Frontier deal. Personally, I never saw as much in the way of DEI results out of Verizon, as I saw splashy marketing efforts about their DEI initiatives.

Hi guys.

How is the KGS in terms of growth and learning. There are lots of negative reviews on Google.

Can you help me in this ad my interview is scheduled next week with KGS.

24 yr old, 110k TC, maxing out Roth IRA and Roth 401k, no debt or large expenses. Also have ~35k sitting in a bank account. What should I do with that money?? Am I better just sitting on it for a while then watching it shrivel up in my brokerage account?

Niche practice area, and thinking about moving firms. Without moving cities, there are really only 2 options. I think both would make me an offer and create a position. How should I approach this?

$150 base 15k signing bonus for manager at EY— seems low for current market. Thoughts?

I’ve been at my current job a month shy of a full year, yet I have already seen that there are not a whole lot of promotions or raises to stretch for, but part of that comes from being hired in a little green for the role. I’m currently negotiating salaries on the west coast and am nearly certain we will reach an agreement soon. How do I give my two weeks without burning bridges?

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex. Two people do the same job but one is paid more or given a larger bonus “because they have kids and you live alone” or “because their family is struggling”. Is that an ethical factor if both employees do the same job at the same pace, quality, etc?

I've heard from multiple people about how inflated the assets are and high the P/E ratio is, hence not a good time to invest in the market. Long term investors, how do you deal with this argument? P.s. I understand the time in the market>time the market.

What's the most natural next step for a marketing coordinator?

Dear Nappily Ever After,
No one has an office, much less an assistant. Creative and account are different jobs with their own dress codes. But dumb, off brief ideas by white creatives do win.

Do you have a mentor? I’m in the autumn of my career and I’ve had a  modicum of success in production and it’s time to give back.

I have a friend looking for a graphic designer that can build her a style guide. Anyone have any recommendations?

Please send websites as well.
