🧠 Fellow brain hive,

Have you ever been interviewed by a Director of Strategy for an accounts role? What was it like?

And/or, what do you think they’re looking for?

I know this question might be too general, but usually how long it takes from just starting to look at opportunities to landing a role in industry? I started to feel strongly about quitting my current role, but am worried I would stuck here before having an opportunity lined up.

Appreciate any personal example or advice to find an exit

Hows hitachi vantara in terms of career growth , work life balance and work culture? I am in process with them for the role of scrum master. Please guide.

If I was a second or third choice candidate for a role, and ultimately got an offer, is it fair game to inquire with the recruiter as to why the initial candidates declined? And should this fact weigh into my decision process?

Any advice on a first year trying to transition from family law to in-house? I always thought family law was my path, and used to enjoy it, but it’s not the direction I want to head in anymore. I don’t think I even want to continue with any litigation work. I’m having a hard time finding firms that are hiring entry level associate positions that don’t require at least 3+ years experience in-house. Should I start at a business law firm to get experience working with corporations first?

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

I hope someone answer this and guide me I’m a CSR for about a year now working from home I have always wanted to work in a hospital setting was told about a job at Baptist of south Florida for a patient financial representative position did a panel interview was nervous however I emailed the supervisor she said HR was to contact me once they review my application and interview me again… I just don’t know what to expect hr to ask me…

Anybody here who gave interview for senior business analyst role in IQVIA?

With everyone seeming to be “hiring” I’ve had job interviews with various firms: EY, Plante Moran, Doren Mayhew, Rehmann, to name a few..
Apparently I just suck at interviewing, or the firms in my area are not hiring. 🤦

Anyone know of any Atlanta agencies hiring Sr Account Executives?

I want to quit without a job lined up. My agency is a dumpster fire of incompetent project managers, revolving door of creatives and culture of not holding people accountable amidst a micromanaging gossipy leadership. I just want out. Tell me it is ok and will be alright.

Any success stories of moving from accounts to being a broadcast producer, how was the transition? Thnx

How many years into your career did you start to feel jaded about the industry? I only have 4 years under my belt and still believe it’s fun and challenging, but I see so much negativity on here.

To the clients scheduling meetings over the inauguration: get over yourself.

No one wants to be “that account guy”. What’s that phrase mean to you? How do you avoid that label?

What are some good practices during the sales phase of a potential project to execute before the contract is signed? Seems obvious but would love some ideas on standard operating procedures that help with seamlessly handing over a signed contract to the account team. For example, speaking to the potential client explicitly about their role in staying on schedule, reviewing scope creep consequences, etc.

I’ve heard it’s important to include metrics on your resume. Being in Account Management do you see value and include campaign performance for projects you managed that were successful that your proud of on your resume?

I recently transitioned from a small, boutique agency to a global agency — meaning I went from being on an account team of 2, to being on a team of 10+. I’m also not currently managing anyone (and I miss it!). I entered this new role promising myself to set new boundaries since I’m used to measuring my success by my stress level. However, old habits die hard. I feel underutilized six months into the role. How can I adjust to finally having support and resources after years of abuse?

Budget builders — What is your agency’s typical budget percentage split between agency fees and production budget? Are you holding as much as 40% for agency fees?

Hi everyone,

I'm going for a role for Account Director and have gone through the interviews with the head of accounts, BD as well as the ECD's. I received the following email at the end of the day:

"You are one of two candidates in the final round.

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."

What would be the best way to answer this response? Appreciate the help

Can you lose your job if you don’t like the animosity from your creative team and speak up about it ? Genuinely worried I might be disrupting the peace by saying something 🥴 the anxiety is terrible! Do I just accept it that they don’t like me or speak up and potentially burn that bridge?

I need contacts who are into bank instrument and MT103 transfers within USA and Europe. If you are a good sender or receiver let me know.
