Dude from BBDO on LinkedIn flexing about how many SB ads they have this year. Dude, get a grip! 2/3 come from FCB / agencies acquired last month. It’s like 🎃 counting Venezuela and Greenland as part of the USA and including it in “America’s places you should vist this summer”.

Wishing those who celebrate a happy #pride month. Be well!

How do junior level employees make it work in NYC? Want to work for a top tier firm which more seem to be located in NYC. But with starting salaries being low and cost of living being high is it worth it?

Hi Fishes

Please give me 11 likes. Need to DM directly.

Is this the official ACN bowl, or is there another one?

My parents FA set up an ira for me while I was in college. I funded the 5500 max for 2 years. Now I have my own Roth IRA and fund that. Just realized that ira that was opened when I was in school was not a roth. Converted in and now will have to pay taxes on the gain (15k of gains). Should Wells Fargo cover this or is this a lost cause for them messing up

Layoffs at Walmart corporate 😬😬

Any agencies in SF offering summer internships? I’ve seen just a few asking for application submissions, but I feel there’s probably some more that I’m not aware of.

Reflation/reopening trades with room to go: CVX target 110 (uncle warren likes and lots of trave commodity increases, supply destruction =oil demand), NCLH target 40 (CCL/RCL have retraced to FMV IMO), BA target 300 (airlines basically back to FMV),

Is this a good time to move from pre-tax 401K to Roth IRA? We have been one income family last 4 months but I still expect year income to be in $250K-$270K range. Considering conversion for $40K amount.

Will there be layoffs at grip/dentsu? just saw that they’re folding the Grip agency brand 👀

pinpoint parters are the absolute worst lmao

Has anyone done Uber as a means to keep bills paid while in transition? wondering if this would be sufficient financially

Worst part about being unemployed is the pity face everyone makes when you tell them. If I hear one more "don't worry you'll find something soon" I'm going to scream. Trying to be helpful is one thing but pitying me helps no one and makes me uncomfortable.

Anyone the only single family members with a flexible job that always gets called upon to help everyone out? Watch kids/sick parents, travel to vs being visited?
It’s like your 2nd class in the fam 😔

I am leaving my comfortable uninspiring job and taking a risk without next job lined up. Idiot or smart?

Say I want to take a break from advertising for a bit... is it impossible to leave agency land and then go back a few years later?

Which portable standing desk converters do people have and recommend. I live in a tiny NYC apartment so use my dining table as the office during the day but need to put it away at night.

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.

I’m a strategist interested in branding shops like interbrand. But I hear they aren’t doing well these days since everyone claims to be a brand consultant. Also I’m curious about the work

Confession: Sometimes I give money to homeless people that look like they might be an undercover billionaire looking for a kind soul to leave their fortune to. Does that make me a bad person?

Anyone hiring a UX Designer in Atlanta? I know someone who got laid off

Junior designer here looking to connect with some Philly-area shops— I’m from the area and have recently been trying to learn more about the local agency scene. Would love it if people could drop some names or even some recruiter info. Thanks!!

Your agency's favorite film director? Who are the guys that get used for everything?

When some asshole won't quit singing in your meeting. I don't need to hear your "rnb sounds" 😘

Barton F. Graf what’s a girl gotta do?
My portfolio is coming for you!! 👍

Any advice for when you feel lost, stuck and directionless at work?

What health/pharma agencies are in SF?

Are there any folks out there who moved from Europe (as in Amsterdam) to the States? And if yes: to where? Thinking about moving towards the big adventure.

Anything specifically to ask when receiving an offer?

Any fishies in new york have official snow days?

Which agencies in NY do great strategy work and are actually valued? It feels like strategy is lacking at most agencies...

How did your agency handle layoffs? All-agency meeting before they started? After they ended? Both?

Kinda sorta trying to predict if I’m losing my job tomorrow.

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

Best (non-agency) company to work at in Boston??
