Gut check: how bad is it out there? Heard my account may only be around for a few more months. Trying to prepare 😬

My boss is a family friend of mine and that has led to a complicated and problematic dynamic in the workplace. I would like to quit my job but do not want to ruin our friendship or make things awkward. :/

What’s the band for an SC salary at Deloitte (non MBA) in a HCOL city?

My company issues top of the line 16” MBP’s for engineers and lower end 13” MBP’s for all others. I work in analytics/ data science and struggle with the fact that my computer can only run 1 external display! No one else on my team cares. How can I navigate requesting a more expensive computer without annoying my leadership? I already own an upgraded MBP as my personal - can I offer to swap my work and personal machines?

Help!! I have 2.10 years of experience in Oracle DBA. I realised it little late but I don't want to continue in that skill. I have CS background and want to switch eagerly and asap. But due to lack of experience my resume is getting rejected everywhere. Any suggestions? I am getting frustrated

What's the confirmation procedure in TCS? In the offer letter it was mentioned that initial 3 months would be probation and after that confirmation. Could you guys please let me know if any action or follow ups required from our end or HR will do the needful ? Please let me know

Anyone can refer me for RPA profile

Hi Fishes,

Lease a 2020/2021 car for 3y 10k miles vs buy a used car. What would be cheaper (in those 3 years) all in? (Including insurance,taxes,blah)

I’ve always been a big saver minimum 15% to maxing out my 401k since I graduated college. I’m married to someone who thinks 6% is enough and likes $$$ cars. Other than the cars, they dont really spend money. For the married 🐠, how do you have the conversation with them that what they are doing isn’t enough? I try to guide them and say you want the $$$ cars but the salary you have won’t get there and you’re going to have to find a job that gets them the salary…. Then the fight starts.

How do I keep my sanity? Weekly massages. Expensive? A little? Worth it? Absolutely.

Poor Pats 😥

Hi everyone, 

I will have my first chat with a Google Cloud recruiter for a TAM role in a couple of days. Any advice/tips you can give me? Also, a referral at this point would help in the process, or is not necessary once I already have this first interview scheduled?

Thanks!!

Once i withdraw resignation, are there consequences?

Hey guys, question regarding new years resolutions. Anyone know some good books about how to lead better and step up to become a great CD?

I’m a junior AD and constantly staying late to design web pages, social posts, emails, and HR internal projects. Feel dead inside. Is this just life as a junior? My first full time gig

Bay Area fish!

My friend just recently got promoted to a sr. ad and he knows he’s going to eat a pay bump but wants to know what the norm is. I’ve never moved so my viewpoint isn’t normal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What are benefits of working with a content strategist on a project?

What are strong must-have traits of a good content strategist?

Trying to build a case for my agency to hire our first CS!

LA agencies/creatives open this week?

The lack of honesty in this industry saddens me. Dear CDs and ECDs, if you're gonna put work in your book that you barely touched/had nothing to do with, at least credit those who came up with it.

Does anyone else hate the word Kudos as much as I do?

Can anyone explain why agencies seem to favor hiring a ton of freelance people over full time creatives? I can’t imagine it’s cheaper than paying someone a salary.

Creatives who don’t code: how did you build your portfolio site?

Mine is currently on WordPress and uses a theme I paid a one-time fee for.

I guess I wouldn’t mind continuing to use WordPress, but I need a refresh.

Anyone have opinions on using page builders like Elementor or Divi with WordPress?

Should I be considering Squarespace or Wix instead? Is Cargo still a thing?

Ever look at your CD (/ECD/CCO) and wonder how the hell they made it there?

Alright y’all.. I started a new job about 3 months ago and I have basically hit the ground running. I’m kind of new to my industry (SEO) and my team is INCREDIBLY smart! continued...

If yes - where do you work and why?

Anyone have any advice on salary expectations for a content manager, leading a team of 10 copy & content people, 15 years experience (inc. management)?

What's the over/under on the number of people who post the aviation gin peloton woman ad?

I think we're at about 6 already...

Creatives that use PowerPoint disgust me that is all have a good day.

Been seeing more jobs for art directors than copywriters. A lot more
Is it just me or anybody else seen this too?
Is this normal?

Hey CDs and ACDs: when you were mids and seniors what do you wish you'd had to help you grow and get to the stage you're at now?

I'm a senior AD and all the resources out there are for juniors. I'm not sure what I need - I feel pretty confident in most areas - so maybe all I need is time to practice and get better. But is there something you did/wish you'd done to improve your abilities, develop your career path, or open your mind?
