Does anyone have advice for making a jump into a Brand Strategist role at an agency (large or boutique)?

My previous experience is in-house and in more generalist marketing roles that included brand and content strategy (among other hats), most recently at a DTC e-commerce brand. Now I want to make a shift to work specifically on brand strategy and am trying to figure out how best to leverage my experience in a way that agency folks will be able to understand the parallels.

Hi fishes,
I am currently working as a Data Science Analyst in Amex and would like to make a switch to Fraud detection/Credit risk modelling in future.(not in a hurry but would like to start preparing for the same)
How should I go about preparing for it? Is MBA the only course?
My current tech stack is Python, Pyspark, Hive, SQL, ML, DL(specifically NLP based). I have already done MS in CS from IIT Kgp.
I am confused mainly cause the tech stack requirement is similar to my role in the company.

Hey all - anyone from McK happen to know if their office is hiring at BA level for experienced hires right now? Particularly interested in Chicago, NY, Seattle.

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set. It’s been two weeks since and complete radio silence. I sent an email to a hiring manager a week ago but received no reply. It’s August so people could be on vacation but this is really strange. Has anyone had similar experience?

I need help in placing someone not having an IT background into IT. He is an MBA finance and has experience into sales (products).

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine.

Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.
