Freelancers -- what health insurance do you guys use? I really need to leave my current place but it's hard to find another gig that isn't freelance to full time. But I also need health insurance.

Any on Forward for Health Care?
New here to Fishbowl so first post.
Interested to hear if anyone is using Forward for their primary health care service?
Thinking about joining.
Interesting subscription based cost model but basically pushing interactive, team based approach to long term health care with a good blend of tech and analytics built in.

If anyone is interested senior associate and manager roles within Asset & Wealth Management Tax or Real Estate Tax at PwC, dm me!

Our team is rapidly growing, offering competitive salaries, WFH for the long term, great performance year bonuses, real time recognition $ and amazing benefits (generous maternity leave, Flex schedule, 401k retirement matching, health insurance, student loan pay down, numerous well-being programs and support, etc)

I work in sales as a coordinator and do a bunch of paperwork with customers online. I LOVE PEOPLE but dread going to work everyday (wfh 3x a week) because the environment is toxic. I just found out that the only positive manager on my team is leaving. I am spiraling. I have a BS in Health Science (no chemistry classes taken and minimal biology education). Where are people happy in their careers? What careers are best for young women with ADHD? Who’s hiring?

Any indoor basketball courts in downtown toronto I could go to for drop ins/21 etc. I used to play before but the pandemic took me out of routine and I'm looking to get back to the court during winter (hopefully somewhere indoors)

Condo insurance recommendation?

Is there any shift allowance in LTI? Also regarding mediclaim, how much is the mediclaim amount given, is it for only employee? How much is the term insurance?

I’m desperate to get out of town. Can’t really do Road trips bc I can’t drive for long periods due to injury. Where can I fly to that’s relatively safe and I’m not putting anyone at risk?

Anyone at West Monroe willing to chat? Applying to the experienced consultant position for healthcare.

Mid-1970’s was the era when alcohol was finally considered harmful to the child during pregnancy. This has to explain why we have an entire boomer generation that has two late incoherent 70 year olds battling it out for the most powerful position in the developed world.

To what degree do you share your mental health issues with your team? I went through a period of depression and recently got comments back that I need to fix my attitude. Is it worth mentioning now?

Has anyone tried taking magnesium glycinate? I had really bad anxiety and messed up stomach yesterday but felt so much better after taking it.

Is giving birth w/o the epidural really that crazy of a concept? People laugh at me when I say its very feasible...

Recently left Accenture and feel like I am in need of complete detox. Experience full range of emotions. Anyone else have similar experience?

I almost got out of Pharma... A CD from a Consumer agency doing solid work reached out, and I was so excited thinking I could finally do the kind of work I love. Then they told me they will fill the position with a current employee. I played it cool, but I can’t deny I felt frustrated. I don’t wanna do healthcare, but it seems like it’s the only thing available in NYC nowadays. I also don’t have many connections in this city. So, IF you need an ACD/Art (full-time or FL-to-perm), let’s chat! 🙌🏻

My background ranges from research, process improvement, business development, some data analytics. I’m really looking to find a remote (or hybrid) position in San Diego, CA. If anyone has suggestions on organizations hiring, etc. would love to chat!

Anyone else into idex, zom and Mara?

Planning a 10 day trip with my sister to Hawaii but not sure which island to pick. Which one do you recommend between Big Island and Maui?

Employer gave me some money to spend on headphones. Should I get Airpod Pros? I have the Jabra Elite 65ts that are great for working out and block out a lot of noise. Not a fan of the regular airpods, but the in-ear/noise cancelling of the pros intrigues me

Looking to enter provider-side consulting. I used to work in financial services management consulting and went back to school for premed in preparation for medical school. Now I'm looking to get back into the market.

Any tips for employment in the current market?

Has any firm done anything in the way of extensive EA training/networking within their NA offices via a program retreat? I'm guessing it's a hard sell, but it seems it would be beneficial. Anyone?

Hi, what vendors do you like for 360 assessments?

Hi Fishes
Is being a Salesforce developer a desired skill in the IT market ? (Present and 10years from now)

Please tell me as i am deciding to learn b/w Salesforce development and Full Stack Development.

Yoe : 1.3

Think this consolidation period is going to end in the near term, primarily driven by:

1. Microstrategy “open sourcing” their playbook for purchasing BTC as public company

2. Coinbase to offer staking for ETH in Q1 ‘21 - think how much will get locked up.

3. GME / stonks fallout - retail may moreso see the benefits of decentralization and crypto. Yes Coinbase is CEX to get you onboard, but DEX can’t be turned off.

Difference between iCore Dop and ideas cloud transformation?

Bowl is getting awfully quiet…must be past 8pm Zzzzzz

The new Volvo commercials are 🔥🔥🔥

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

What is your agency’s maternity or paternity leave policy?

Looking at full-time and application asks for expected salary and then expected total compensation as a number. How should I figure out the second? Health insurance, bonuses, life insurance, equity, PTO? I studied art, not math.

Dumb question.. what’s the proper etiquette for when you get a job through a recruiter who reached out to you first? A simple thank you email, a Starbucks gift card, etc?

What is the shortest amount of time you think you could work somewhere without burning that bridge?

“have fun with this brief” they say before telling you the client is pretty conservative and needs to have safer options.

i know we don’t always work on stuff we’re thrilled about but i’ve never dreaded reviews for a client before until now

I've seen quite a few people make jokes about being "aged out" of advertising. Could someone please explain what that looks like and when that typically happens? Forgive the dumb question, I'm a newbie to the industry so I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't agencies want people with more experience?

What small or mid sized NYC shops are doing good work right now?

What are some things a recently laid off junior can do right now that’ll benefit them once agencies start hiring again?

Been at a new job for a couple of months. Overall it’s been disappointing and I’m starting to feel anxiety for the future. I feel this way because I’ve just been working on one account I really don’t feel will create anything book worthy and I’m afraid that I will have nothing to show after a year. I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)

I keep hearing about Consulting girls coming for and getting traditional advertising work...and I believe it. As a Strategy exec in Pharma advertising, what's keeping me from jumping ship to McKinsey

Serious post.. I've been feeling really depressed lately but am apprehensive of going to a psychiatrist because I would prefer to stay off meds. Have any of you battled depression without medicating?

I promise you, whatever you have to tell me as I sit down with my lunch is not as important as eating my lunch.

If you could change one thing about the ad agency culture, what would it be?

This may sound odd, but can you run an agency without an ECD/CCO?? (Asking for a friend)

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.

I got the job. That is all.

Which major agency do you think has the best branding? And the worst?
