Hi everyone, a question to the tech industry at large.

Ugh… moved to industry recently and referenced my nanny in a meeting with some more junior people without kids or with stay at home spouses. Now they keep making kind of sarcastic comments referring back to my nanny comment. Sorry, I’m not sorry that i need (and can afford) a nanny to help with three young kids when both my husband and I work! Just venting… sadly I think the takeaway is not to even tell people if you have a nanny.

Would becoming ceritified to pass meds increase my pay any?

Hi guys,
Does anyone have any update regarding rto for Accenture?
I heard from a few folks that they will start calling everyone to the office from Jan,2023.

Name the best immigration lawyers.

I find myself looking for a new role in agency / production company biz dev. I co-founded a creative production agency back in 2010. Grew it to a staff of 80 FTE, creating strategic content-driven campaigns for brands, tv networks, streamers, platforms, publishers etc. We developed and produced original TV as well. Around 2016 we positioned the company for sale and then sold in Jan 2019. After going over to the acquirer in 2020, I’m now free for the first time in a long time. What to do?

I’ve been working on a pitch that continues to get delayed and it’s poorly managed. The RFI was due in July. Then days AFTER submission I received an email from the consultant saying we now had until August. End of September rolls around and frankly I had forgotten about this 100-page beast. They want a meet and greet….the following week. The day before the meet and greet we get a list of questions (that aren’t easy softballs). Now 2 weeks later and nothing. What a gross feeling this process is

How do other agencies structure salaries and commissions for new business directors? What commission rate?

Fishies, I am hiring a partner in crime to help me introduce PETERMAYER to the national stage. This isn't your typical biz dev role - it's designed to be a hybrid/cross-discipline role for someone who wants to use their full creative, strategic brain and most definitely NOT stay in their lane. Know anyone that sounds like that, send them my way! (Agency is full-time flex/hybrid, but a desire to be NOLA-based is strongly preferred; however remote may be negotiable.)

Any McCann NY new business fish in here? I see you have an opening and would love to get the inside scoop.

Please comment with a bit about you and your role. Thanks!
