Got a BS in Advertising in 2018 and have good knowledge of Adobe (photoshop, indesign, illustrator). Agency experience for 6 months doing PR, 1 year at marketing agency (google ads, SEO, analytics) and haven’t been able to work for a year due to visa processing so I’ve been doing freelance work: websites, social media… I believe I want to do strategy at an agency but also like consulting firms.

🔥I asked for #1 joining bonus in BNY but not received joining bonus.
#2 Demanded 10-20% extra on current offer but they matched offer and release offer without discussion ( I accepted as backup )
Week of difference in 1st company (wk-1)& BNY( wk-2).

Bny purposely release matching offer ? will they increase offer & provide joining bonus ?

Best way to handle such scenario to get best result from bny

Question on changing roles: a friend of mine did not pass the final round at BCG for an associate position, due to not having as much relevant experience as the other candidates.

Very interested to learn if anyone has experienced this :)
