Has anyone heard from their clients that they’re upset that their agency partners or staff are distracted, freaking out, and not getting their work done?

Looking to add a dressier everyday watch to complement my Omega Speedmaster Racing. Currently considering the Omega Constellation Globemaster and the Cartier Santos. Thoughts?

Any freelance awards writers out there? We've got a Cannes submission for a big brand that we could use some help with. Any hand raises or recs for someone with experience in this area = much appreciated 👍

Had on-site a month ago and recruiter has promised an update several times and not followed through. Anything I can do other than following up once a week? I think I’m the backup candidate but would be helpful to get more clarity

Hi Fish,

I am currently working in non tech as an analyst. I have learnt SQL AND Data warehousing concepts. I am thinking of switching to any data related role Data Analyst/Data engineer. Appreciate your views/thoughts on this.

What are the different grade levels / titles in Deloitte india?

Deloitte India vs Deloitte USI.
Please answer if you have worked for both and have significant first hand experience about the difference in WLB, annual hikes, work culture, any other observations.
I see a lot in of this same discussion but very confusing and repetitive answers.
So would like people with personal experience to answer.
Thanks in advance 😃

I read these posts and what numbers you have with FIRE. I don’t have nearly that much saved; I am paying for two kids in school (college). What is the minimal amount?

At what investment size should you typically start using fee only financial advisors?

I am looking to start a brokerage account but I’m not sure where to start. What would you recommend as step 1?

Red flag? I use TD's robo investor for my IRA and personal investment portfolio. I noticed it chooses the same ETFs, although potentially a different ratio. This seems that it's not properly diversified for long and mid term. Should I be concerned, or just let the investment fly?

Sitting on two AWS vs McKinsey offers. Which would you take?

What does an L7 package at Google look like? (Base, Bonus, Stock and how much Sign on could I get)?

Any lgbtq desi consultants want to connect offline ? I am struggling to make friends in the desi circle with similar mindsets / challenges. Single indian gay male here:)

Going in house is the move, right?

How do you dig into work/life balance in job interviews? What kind of questions do you ask to make sure you’re not just being told a line?

If you do something on the side for extra cash (like drive for Uber) then lose your agency job in a layoff, does your little side gig disqualify you from collecting unemployment?

Stop with the unnecessary meetings. PLEASE.

What are your thoughts on leaving a stable but unfulfilling job for another one during these times?

When is it OK to ask for a partner swap? I've been working with a super fun Jr. AD for four months, but I feel like I'm pulling most of the weight + that we aren't bringing out the best in each other.

What agency is doing the new Twizzler ads?

Dogs in offices are cool, but who's offering some comfy siesta benefits? 😴💤

So if the supporting rules(PM, BA, Digital producer. Etc) within an ad agency gets paid more than the creatives who are making the work, what does it mean for being a young creative?

Pros and cons of working on an auto brand?

casually scrolling through my feed on IG when I see a sponsored ad from a guy wanting to work at Saatchi. Jobseekers are getting so clever! what's the best thing you've seen someone do for a job?

Dan Lucey is freaking awesome. But can Havas NY be saved?

Looking at full-time and application asks for expected salary and then expected total compensation as a number. How should I figure out the second? Health insurance, bonuses, life insurance, equity, PTO? I studied art, not math.

Anyone have clients write a 3 page "creative brief" which is usually a mix of a marketing brief, creative brief and media brief - all in one?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Is it normal for every single call (client or internal) everyone dials in from their desks at an open format office? Everyone avoids takings calls together/conference rooms like the plague.

Bookish fish! What’s the best book on leadership you’ve read? Particularly creative leadership.

Out of curiosity, how much $ did you start making before buying a pet?

Still really want to know how that Strategist's conversation with the boss went today.
