I am getting a little impatient with a recruiter who feels like she has been ghosting me. I need to make another decision with a company by tomorrow but have not heard back from this other company since I’ve interviewed last Monday. I updated her on my timeline and she hasn’t emailed me back. I have her number from when she initially called me. Would it be bad to just give her a call?

When is external hire IBD recruiting season?

Has anyone had any experience with Water Street Partners for lateral recruiting? Reached out to me cold with a few ideas and I’ve had two follow up emails and a call with an MD at reputable banks, but it all seems very sketchy. For instance an “HR Specialist” reached out to me to set up a call, but when I look her up on LinkedIn she’s a IB VP. The MD I spoke to named a few other people he was going to have reach out, but haven’t heard from either of them. Just doesn’t feel like a normal process

Does your bank use Presbuilder or any other automated PPT add-in?

I just moved to another place that doesn’t use these and I wonder why not.

Do you think your work in IB makes you better at predicting which public deals that you aren’t involved with, will go through? Like the probability of the TWTR deal going through or KSS or SAVE, etc?

Any ideas on planning a quarterly retreat for a startup? Specifically for strategy day and culture. Never planned a quarterly retreat before and is not to sure what it entails. I’ve been told agendas for retreats are very subjective to company but would like some general ideas if anyone has any!

I believe improving one’s sales conversion rate is something everyone want to improve but no one wants to admit they would like to work it. Funny how lawyers will spend thousands on seminars to improve trial skills. But this topic is not discussed in our profession. I have read books in sales. But am unable to find any for lawyers. I want convert every lead I can. Does anyone have tips, books, cle’s or studied this topic?

Any IPS Advisory folks here ?

I’m feeling drained. Unmotivated, uninspired, & bored. My job takes all of my mental energy, but I can’t start looking for anything new yet. Any advice on how to handle a job that makes you miserable?

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment. However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks

The bond yield curve just inverted. If you don’t have to make any major purchases for the next year, that’s probably a good thing

Love it when external recruiters ask you your salary range and then are like 🤨 and try to get you to ask for a lower range. Girl, bye.

So RGA just hired two c suite global roles...and they hired two white people. After they put out a “diversity” plan. This is why there’s no progress...

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

I was recently told that I wasn’t being promoted to AD. Now that I have quit, they are offering me an AD title if I stay. Why would they do that? I’m only good enough to be an AD now that I’m leaving?

How long do you really think you’ll stay in advertising? What does your career trajectory look like? I was recently asked and it took me by surprise for a second tbh. The most obvious answer was “work my way up to CD.” But what about becoming a super seasoned and experienced creative forever? 🤷‍♀️

Anyone else feel like your junior creatives don't want to be creative?? Ex: "I'd love to see some new options. Anything you'd like, no restrictions" response "Do we have to? They'll never buy it"😳
