Anyone leave Deloitte for Booz Allen? Thoughts or experiences? Utilization and compliance are absolutely doing my head in.

Anyone do work with school districts or companies that work with schools? I work with schools reviewing tech contracts and data privacy protocols, but I’d like to make a jump to a firm where the money is a bit better. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a firm that does school work, but that is where my current experience is.

Did anyone have an interview with Amazon for an ACC position? And know how long after the phone screen/hypo stage they contact you? It’s been two days, I’m thinking they are going to reject me if they are taking this long?

If you are not outraged by Breonna Taylor’s ruling, you are Anti-Second Amendment.

The second amendment lets us arm ourselves against tyranny (and as conservatives will often say, government tyranny). When the government infringes on our rights and breaks into our house and shoots up the place, I don’t have a right to defend myself?

If you side with the police, you are not pro-second amendment and you need to be deported you comi-******

AKQA NY thoughts?

I am mainly working with shops in the States as a non-native speaker and I am constantly worried about my ability to communicate (in any professional occasion but mostly in meetings). I am working with some of the best shops and this makes the situation worse considering that I am largely surrounded by an extremely competent group of folks that are super good at any form of communication. How do you feel as a native speaker when you meet non-natives? Should they be worried, or, they doing ok?

Are there any CDs working on Post Mates, Grub hub or Door dash. I just wrote out a whole campaign for fun. Print, commercials, activations, etc. Would love to pitch it.

GSP San Fran or Leo Chicago?

If you could work at an agency for the rest of your career, would you do it? Or do you see being a professional creative as a means to another career altogether?

You’ve had a 360-campaign brief for about a week that’s essentially a brand refresh. The expectation in the first-round creative review is scripts and adlobs for each concept. How many concepts to you come back with?

Who here is freelancing while working full time?

If you were offered a job at a great agency but working on just one brand, but it was a big one like Nike or McDonalds, would you do it? Being siloed sucks, but maybe worth it for a big account?
