I've been a doctor for over 10 years and the amount of times I'm still called "Miss" after introducing myself as "Doctor is. mindblowing.

Anyone have multiple FT jobs? I'm looking about to land a new primary FT job, as my current job is very very slow, doesn't really have any projects for me, and could end at any time (with a 30 day notice).
Where there any legal issues? (The two companies area in different industries so no competition). How did you manage both? The new company knows I'm still employed, should I quit the first or keep it as long as I can manage both? Any bad vibes or feelings of unprofessionalism? TIA

Can’t help but notice how Dravid is busy taking notes during the match while Shastri looked as if he was there as a spectator (and appeared mostly drunk). Poor Vikram Rathor has to done homework now too 😂

A coworker at non-work HH said something antisemtic to me. Do I talk to him about it or should I tell my manager and HR? I'm nervous about retaliation because I've experienced it before when reporting something to HR.

I'm having some trouble with my manager.

He's always asking me to work late, but when I do, he doesn't give me any credit for it.

I feel like he only cares about the results, not how much effort I put in. Should I say something to him?

How do you balance your meals?

Are there any strategists here whose English is not their first language?

How did you overcome the language hurdle to be sharper and persuasive in your writing?

Thinking about lateraling from one large top tier international firm to another. Everyone who has left my firm is happier work wise (though they miss some of our amazing perks). I was hired as a summer in 2016, clerked in 2017 and am now going into my third year of practice.
My only complaint is that I “fit” with only about 1/ 3 of the partners on the floor which makes getting work tougher than it should be. My anxiety is at it’s peak. I am wondering if a fresh start worked for anyone?

I'm pretty proud of the progress I've made when it comes to staying on task in my work life. What I'm having bigger issues with is transitioning from one thing to another. Ex..I'll go to pour a glass of water after finishing something, realize the trash needs to be taken out, realize I need to walk down to pick up my mail, etc. Any tips on making this easier?

Would you prefer to get out every Friday at 2pm or have every other Friday off?

Anyone use Trendkite? Thinking trying out their platform for monitoring. The demos all look great in terms of actually tracking results but would love to know how real-world experience is

In-house people: how do you handle not getting what you need for PR efforts because other teams don’t understand the level of detail you need? Would also appreciate any advice on how to educate non-PR/Comms team members on how to support you.

For context, I’m a solo PR Manager at a tech startup and really struggling to get basic information/commitments to allow me to do my job.

Looking for someone with around 4+ years experience to join our PR team at a small but very legit agency in North Carolina. Message me for more info.

It’s that time of year again.

Edelman’s 2020 Trust Barometer has published.

What are the key findings Edelman peeps?

Anyone else dealing with overuse of y’all in emails?

Anyone heard of Matter Communication? If so, care to dish? Good work? Good place to work?

Currently work at a PR agency in D.C., but actively trying to move to SoCal, preferably LA or SD. Goal is to do more digital strategy/social media/creative work in house, any one know of anything?

Please post your Samsung-client horror stories- I'm trying to convince my boss to not put me on the account. My agency just won an RFP with them. I worked on the account at my previous agency and it wrecked almost every aspect of my life.

Anyone have experience moving from agency to in-house at a tech company? Exploring the idea but my focus has been on consumer clients, so not sure how I’d be able to or what companies to look at. 5 years of experience

Any insight on Ruder Finn? How is their healthcare practice? Is the work environment healthy? Typical VP salary?

Would you take a new job with a 50% pay raise if you’re uninterested in the clients you’d work with? Is the money > interests at that point?

What’s going on at Ruder Finn these days?

I’m a VP in PR at a large agency - and expect a promotion this month. Curious to get a quick pulse on what salaries people are seeing at the next level (which is a Group VP). I’m based in NY.

I’m new in a dual media relations/digital role. I found myself surprised to see that the digital team actually has account editing video/designing graphics. Is this normal? Before I was at a larger agency where creative would be called in to do this work. We have a creative team at this new agency so I’m not sure why they aren’t called to support. It seems a bit unprofessional as these executives are clearly not ‘pros’ in this area of designing/editing.

Does anyone know of a good career coach in the Chicago area?

Would love to hear people’s opinions or experiences with BCW New York. How is it working there? What kind of work are they doing? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

🚨DUMB QUESTION ALERT🚨 what are some examples of PR smart goals? I'm having my first real review of my career in a few weeks and am struggling since I've never done this before.

Interested in opinions on international experience. I’m based in a Russian agency (Public Affairs) and thinking of a move back to London.
Do agencies based in London see the value of international experience? Most recruiters I’ve spoken with say only UK experience is sought after.
