Favorite questions to ask when being interviewed by the CSO?

Three questions that you can learn a lot from if CSO answers carefully and you listen carefully: (1) What is the strategy culture that you are trying to build here? (2) What kind of people do you champion Andy promote here? (3) What have you done to promote inclusivity in strategy? Listen for real answers, not boilerplate. And feel whether you might belong in the culture that CSO describes.

In what ways does the agency support ongoing learning and development?

What is the relationship like between creative and strategy at their level?

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

I’m really trying to make the switch to experiential/PR so any help/lead on agencies is appreciated 😶

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
