Not micronanaging, letting your creatives do what you hired them to do, giving sage advice and checking in with your team, letting the team go on shoots vs going on them yourself and not letting the team who came up with the idea go, not killing work the night before it goes to client or even the day of, being able to make decisions and stick with them, providing ample feedback vs "more," and making teams feel appreciated for their hard work and long nights and weekends.

1. Trusting and collaborating with non-creatives (planners, producers, etc) and requiring that your team does the same.

2. Showing a sincere interest in below the line work (even if it’s something you don’t know a ton about), learning what makes that work good, and rewarding your team for doing great work in those spaces.

Nah. A great creative leader is a killer at selling creative work. Also, should be able to actually delivering such creative with great production values on time and on budget

Hello Fishes, I have a Job offer from Cisco and Verizon(VDSI).

Cisco CTC - 16.2LPA , Fixed - 15.1LPA - Cisco TAC role.

Verizon data services llc - CTC 18LPA , Fixed - 16.1LPA

YOE - 6.5 Years
CCTC - 7.2 LPA
Tech - Networking and Security

Conflicted between both as I believe Cisco has a better brand value and great company to work for. But the offer from Verizon is competitive.

Is it a good idea to renegotiate with Cisco based on current offer from Verizon. Please share your thoughts.

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

Twice the chance that you’re done.

And done means no-fun.

And when there’s no-fun, there’s no sun.

Things have been super stressful at work lately for a variety of reasons & a couple of weeks ago I decided to raise the issues with my Creative Director.
For context, he’s the reason for a lot of these problems and I (tactfully, I think) said as much. He listened to me patiently but took no responsibility and deflected blame with every issue raised.
Today he asked me to send an email to him about how overworked I am so that he can use it to talk to management. (cont. in comments)
