Do employees at agencies embedded at Apple (critical mass, akqa, elephant, etc) make as much money as the Apple-employed creatives they work directly with?

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

Anyone willing to look at my resume? I can’t seem to get through the ATS for consulting positions at any company

My husband and I are going to Charleston in June. Looking for recommendations on lodging.

Looking to transition jobs/industry and I’m working on the job experience section of my LinkedIn profile. I’ve been in one role for 10+ years with ever increasing autonomy and responsibilities but no official title change. Would it be an issue to split up the experience bullets into “associate”, “staff”, “senior”? And add “senior” to the position title? Obviously, I want to do this correctly/honestly and am just trying to organize the list to show the growth within the position.

Is Commonwealth good as advertised??
It just seems to good to be true. ( all the top ratings in JD Power etc)
Edward Jones also has excellent J.D. Power scores but we definitely have issues.........

Anyone tried being a mentor at any third party app? I wanted to check if becoming a mentor to college student as a part time (free time) thing is ok or not?

In our job agreement, it was written that we cannot take up any other work. I guess that is more for “working for other companies” right?

I travel a lot and have about 50k IG followers with high engagement. How do I contact companies and see if they want me to make a sponsored post?

- B: don’t really have friends to celebrate with. Only have 2 friends here (not very close) and I’m too embarrassed to go celebrate just the 3 of us bc I don’t have anyone else 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m M41yo and 90% of people messaging me are under 30. I rarely hear back when I message people closer to my age. Is this “daddy” thing really such a big thing? I feel a bit like a pedo / babysitter sometimes 😔

Dream client, dream product, dream cast, no budget - GO

In March, I started a new job. The first month was incredible and I killed every brief. But since last week, I’m dried. My creativity is like a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs. How do you guys deal with creative block? Is this normal for someone with 2,5 years of experience?

Hated Ed Sheeran's cameo in GoT.

Anyone else continuing 2021 with the same pay cut from mid-2020? 🖕

Anyone in downtown Chicago area have any quiet spot reccos to have a video call?

Alright, I have a serious question that, in my time in the industry, I've never found a good answer for.
In advertising and marketing, we largely break things into creative and accounts. Where do we put roles like web developers, SEOs, ad buyers and planners (especially digital ad managers), and site architects? They're adjacent to both, but in my experience, they are neither one nor the other.

How often do you feel like interesting AND brand-building work gets killed by creative leadership because they’d rather make a statistically bloated one-off execution in hopes of getting trophies?

Saturday marked 14 years since I was fired and started my own agency. Getting fired did not break me then and this pandemic is not going to break me now. Stick with it, everyone.

Forks are literally just bad spoons. There is no conceivable world where I’d pick forks over spoons. Spoons can do everything forks can and forks can do nothing spoons can. Even the hybrid spork shows this clear advantage where forks are made to be more like spoons. Like … ok there’s spaghetti big deal I’ll just scoop it up with my spoon. Steak? Oh no I have to scoop up the steak with my spoon. Try eating soup with a fork. Exactly.

Hey McCanners!! How’s life over there? How’s that strategy department? Asking for reasons.

In America publications talk about cool projects for free.
In my country they always want money. No such thing as earned media.

How do we get around this?

Curious if anyone here owns their home outright (mortgage paid off) and at what age you paid it off. Thanks.

Any tips/advice for negotiating a raise? Boss is down, I need to help him convince suits.

Hot take: Alexa is just an extremely long experiential marketing stunt for Black Mirror.

Weakening + Kennedy

From my experience thus far (10 years) CD/ads are better giving copy feedback than CD/cws are giving art feedback.

CWs, advice, develop a good sense of aesthetic and even design/art lingo early on before you become CD. A CD CW should know what things like kerning is.

I swear to god that my CCO (cw) just asked me to “add more photoshop to an image” (verbatim) almost slapped a few PS logo on it.

Anyone else just come to work so you can enjoy the free toilet paper?
