Does your agency do qualitative pretesting of *pitch* creative with focus groups prior to the new biz pitch presentation and then show the results to the prospect?

My agency does this a lot and it has always felt weird but maybe this is common practice?

Recently I cleared 2 technical rounds and had salary discussion with HR on 26th July.
When I enquired about offer letter last week, hr replied in mail that "Since your education under blacklist with cognizant, we are unable to process with your offer. Many of college alumni are already working with cognizant. Even mailed them what part of education is blacklisted but they are not replying.should I still expect offer letter from them?

What would be the CTC for technical lead role?
They are giving 15 percent variable as well.

Will I get 100 percent variable on quarterly basis or not?
What's you experience with Infy?

Can we claim internet installation charges as well?

Her boss knows this and told her last Friday with a straight face that she’s sulking. Some of these VC people man.

higher Ed) but I would like another
stream of income. I am interested in
adjunct faculty but I find it so hard to
get into and I think it's because of

How much do you actually work per day. For me it is an avg of 3-4 hours

Am I correct in my assumption that with the new accreditation laws, anyone can pursue a Series 65 unsponsored and earn accredited investor status?

In your opinion, what advertising/branding/experiential agencies should someone targeting greater San Diego and Los Angeles go after? (Yes, it is very expensive to live in California)

So, I work in an agency, but recently someone reached out to me for freelance writing work. I guess it'll be long form ad copy, as they're asking me for a rate per word...
I have no idea what's standard here

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.

How do I become a freelance creative who WFH? Don't mind coming into the office to brainstorm, etc.

Hypothetically, what might happen, if Strat said to fishbowl they needed a virtual hug? Other than CD potentially saying something snarky and mean ...hypothetically only.

What should you do if they don’t put your name on the credits of work that is yours? Anybody’s had this experience?

Are there any LA brands/agencies who would consider a candidate that’s not in LA... aka work from home (same time zone though)? 🤔

It took the horrific and completely inexcusable death of George Floyd to move the racism issue to the forefront. And while it’s a crime of a much lesser degree, with different circumstances, what’s it going to take to get ageism properly addressed? Intelligent thoughts/debate requested only please.

Remember The Woo? Yeah, me neither. Well, they cut everyone’s pay (except mgmt of course) by 1/4 to get the small biz gov loan, and used it to hire a $500k/yr mgmt head. Agency still working barebones

What happens if your company wins an award for your work after you've left?

Brands closing for climate change? Wouldn’t that lost income be more effective/useful if they donated it to clean energy alternatives instead? Do a spot about it to promote it & it’s content. Win. Win

Are there any solid recruiters in SF?

Best NYC office location (neighborhood, cross streets) and why?

A little over a year ago, I posted about my boss making constant comments about my salary. Most comments said I must not have been performing well. I want to update that he was fired, not me.

Calling all managers with junior, intern and mid teams: Who is taking (or is being given) the time to train their juniors on the necessary hard and soft skills? If not, what’s stopping you from providing that support?

With the way this week has been going, Friday 13th with a harvest moon seems downright dangerous 🌚 halp
