For those of you that worked at an abnormally toxic agency…how long did it take for you to recover? I start a new job and only gave myself a few days off in between. I am terrified my burned out bad attitude is going to follow me. For example…right now…I hate everyone. This is not my norm.

Hi All,

First time posting here:)

Who could hep me to understand what would be a reasonable range of salary for an Account Manager position in Germany for a telecom company? With 3 years of indutry experience but not on that role.

Thanks a lot in advance for who could help.

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.

I'm in salary negotiations for a great role, but there's a small gap (~$10k) to even match my old salary. They have most of the obvious benefits like unlim. vacation, low healthcare premiums, 401k matching, permanent WFH, etc.

Right now, severance pkg. and a more senior title are most important. Has anyone negotiated a title bump? Outcome?

Are there additional benefits I should also consider?

I’m a US citizen and my partner is in india. We want to apply for a fiancé visa. Heard it’s better and processes faster than brining over a spouse. Curious how long it takes to process? Your experience and any recommendations for immigration lawyer to help file in the NJ area would be appreciated. TIA!

Girls in asset management PUT OUT. Haven't gotten a handie like that in years.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

Brand new startup, how do we think about social media?

We tried paid ads and it’s expensive so we want to acquire users through content marketing. It’s a product that helps people discover gift ideas - and it’s a web app.

What’s a good way of creating a social media strategy for it? Or is social media content marketing a good idea at all for early startups?

What are other ways to acquire early stage users?

I was two weeks late for my period and was going to take a pregnancy test this weekend. However this morning I felt cramps and had a little bleeding..... I still have some mild cramps that go in and out. I'm so scared... Would a test be accurate? Could I have miscarried? I did message my doctor but they're closed until next week.

All of my experience is in litigation but I think I might like real estate more. Any advice on how to sell myself to a real estate firm?

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

I envy creatives. It seems like your jobs are far more interesting.

Got an offer, made a counter, they came back and said they’re keeping their offer where it is.

Jobs ok. Could use the benefits. Offer was below market.

Thoughts?

So Q1 has been abnormally weak for agencies across the board, right? Is it fair to say Trump is finally starting to effect the economy?
