Haha :) All I want to add is that, never take lay offs personally. I heard about another wave of lay offs today. Just keep your head up and focus! See the potential in yourself and take this as an opportunity to switch to a better firm where you will be evaluated for the quality of your work, not politics

Never thought that this would attract such positive response from the community. We never discover the true potential in ourselves until we are forced to. I am grateful for the fact that I was laid off, but wish the best to my colleagues who still work at PwC.

Need advice. I’m a super senior content EP at a well known agency in the U.S., where I’ve been for quite some time. Checked out http://Glassdoor.com, and I make at the high end of the ranges for similar agencies. In the past year I’ve also taken on additional responsibilities (outside of traditional EP duties) that have doubled my workload and raised my profile quite a bit.  How should I go about brining up a sizable salary bump (some creatives and even planning peeps earn more with much less responsibility)?
