Which type of job needs to do in Specialist - Data Engineering in LTI?

Beginning to consider going in house (4th, corp) - I really haven’t thought about what I want, partly because I’m not sure what’s out there/attainable. Is it a bad idea to start by applying to a couple positions that interest me and seeing where that gets me? I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.

If you’re in a relationship (even a happy one), is flirting fine or walking a line? I think consistently flirting with the same person can be shaky, but what about strangers if you’re out?

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

What’s the email format for le truc? The recruiter there shares a job on LinkedIn yet doesn’t respond there, NOR provide a way to get in touch. The worst.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

I think I’m finally burnt out on agency life. What’s a logical next step? Freelance? In-house? A new career all together?

Not many people seem to care about those agency of the year titles anymore. Especially in the past 2 to 3 years. Even to the winners. Right?

Finally wrote the 3 social scripts 2 hours before they were due when I was briefed over 2 weeks ago, what are you doing?

Just found out there’s an ECD in a big NYC agency who claims to have won awards, but the name doesn’t pop up in any of the archives.

How do they get away with it?

Do brand design / strategy shops have better w/l balance than advertising?

No one—of any age, on any occasion—ever—says “It’s easy as 1 2 3!” And yet every now and then, even now, you see it as a line (junk mail mostly). Did anyone EVER say it, outside of advertising?

I’m creating an ad hoc, pro bono guerrilla stunt for a video game launch coming out end of this month. If you’re an AD that wants to get some cool execution work in you book and have decent photoshop skills let me know. I’m doing this campaign on my own for the game and am gonna package it as a portfolio piece if it goes viral, which you can include in your book of course as well! The publisher might pay us if it gets results but no guarantee

Do agencies rent spaces out in places like WeWork to give teams some autonomy away from the office?

I wish glass door would tell you gender. Would love to see how much more men creatives still get paid more than women.

“Can we change all the instances of ‘we’ in the script to be [our brand name]? Just to remind my listener who we are throughout.” 🙄

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. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. 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❤️
