I bet if a super young dude showed up with one, it’d be a cool differentiator. But if you’re 32+ it’ll just look “old."

No.

I was laughed at for having one back in 2006. Never had one since.

Wow. I graduated in 06 and people usually commented on how big and bulky my book was, but laughing is a bit much. However, I crossed over from one field to Advertising in 2012 and that’s when I began presenting digitally.

As some mentioned, there are times you do a nice printed piece and I pack that in my laptop bag, depending on what it is, but haven’t been asked for a physical book since.

Physical portfolio? Is this 1995?

I personally do not, but I can see some folks who has impressive DM piece or packaging work to showcase it in its physical form may carry around the actual items.

Most companies do not even accept your application without a link of your portfolio. Use cargo collective. It is pretty simple to do it

Sooooo true!!!!

Hi there,

Just joined S&C from 8 YOE in industry. Joined as M1, but was also a manager in former industry role. How soon is reasonable to be thinking about promotion Senior Manager? What kind of salary increase comes with this promotion?

Also, I negotiated current salary when the offer came 5 months ago now, not taking into account high increases in inflation. Do salaries get adjusted for inflation? And if so, when?
