Has anyone made a move to East Asian countries? If so, how is the industry like during Covid?

What measures has your company taken to minimize losses due to covid?

We were forced to take 6 days leave in April (bovenwettelijk) which was kind of a weird move. I don’t think our bonuses are getting cut this year so if it’s my bonus or 6 days leave I’d gladly take the latter.

Account executive here, who has about 5 years of agency experience. Who else is completely over working in advertising and what steps are you taking/planning to make a career move?

Not looking to make a move anytime soon due to covid but am curious to what everyone else is thinking.

Please tell us, since COVID started:

-weirdest thing you've eaten
-weirdest thing you've watched
-weidest thought you've had.

When are we betting the office will close for this Covid19 plague?

Is this legal?
My partner and I are moving out of our condo building in NYC at month end, and the building management (not our landlord) has communicated to us that, on top of the 1K non-refundable fee and 1K security deposit to move out (stated in lease), they are also issuing a $1,250 "sanitization fee" for the public areas (hallways/elevators), since we happen to be moving out during COVID19. We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!

MBA admit here and have to put down a deposit soon, having serious cold feet right now due to the covid situation and potentially having to start virtually. Would love any perspective on how it's been particularly socially and what your schools' outlook on the fall is

How is anyone surprised that people like Caputo are highly politicized pieces of the COVID response

Masks at open houses?

With flu season (and COVID season?) just around the corner, I’m thinking of asking buyers to mask up at showings. Good idea or am I going overboard?

US citizen here, and I would like to move to Europe for a couple of years. What are some big named companies (other than big 4 & MBB) that will sponsor my working visa? I would also like to move early next year. Is that unrealistic though due to COVID? TIA 😊

Did you get an increment during covid year?

Moved to Raleigh during COVID and have been working remotely since. Looking for local Audit manager/internal audit manager/risk management type of roles, anyone knows any companies are hiring?

Moving to Philly Nov 1, just signed a lease in Queen Village. Coming from LA where I was part of a volleyball group and had a lot of options at the beach. Suggestions on making friends and being active (while still being respectful of covid rules & health of all)? 36 F

Anyone have experience during these Covid times with getting a job offer from the big 4 & asking for it to be part of employment agreement (just like the salary) to have an hours cap? I don’t want to go over 55

Hello everyone I worked as a house remodeler before I got Covid now I am handyman/maintenance/property manager I would like an idea of what people are charging

I might have to move in March and looking at how these prices currently are, this is crazy 😭
Got to spoiled with the covid prices

Would it be too obvious that I’d be using the Corp discount code for personal use when getting a rental car? (Taking into consideration COVID and that the rental would be over 4th of July week)

Saw this in another bowl so thought I’d do one here 😅

I am SCM analyst. Covid seems to have impacted the SCM industry a lot. Share if you’re comfortable and give a little background of your career journey / advice if you’ve been in the industry for 5+ years

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

Anyone have with recent experience interviewing/hiring with FP? Most of what I found online is from pre-covid but it sounds like things might have changed a bit.

Hi Fishes,

I am currently undergoing a recruitment exercise for the role of Senior Principal, Research with the Peers & Practitioners team at Gartner India Research & Advisory Services. My current work exp is 5 years across 2 big 4s and a KPO in India. How much hike should I quote if I clear the interviews here? Presently my CTC is around early INR1000Kp.a. Also are they giving options of a permanent WFH post covid? If not can I work from some other office such as HYD, BLR instead of NCR?

Hi - can someone from globant please let me know if the company is providing permanent WFH. If not, are there any possibilities to ask for at least 1 yr WFH.

I have zero clue where to ask this question so I am going to try here - WHAT is with the tree at Daley Center Plaza near the NW corner of Dearborn and Washington that is always just absolutely covered in birds. Like thousands of birds. Does anyone else know what I am talking about or am I losing it?

I recommend books I've never read to people who ask for book suggestions.

Anyone ever just want to quit their high-stress job and work at a cozy bookstore or something? Tired of having anxiety and taking a deep breath before I open up my emails

Joined Ericsson a year ago. Learned new things but not enough. Thinking of leaving it and join some other org. What do you think? I wanted some on-site opportunities but so far nothing.
I know the raise will be in between 5-10%. But the part I missed the most is learning. I can use their portal but that is all theory and can’t do much if they don’t provide the time for it .
Let me know in comments.

Casual sexting makes a normal day spicy 🥵 🔥

I’m being provided the opportunity to build an integrated planning group in my agency. We’ll be responsible for things like:
- category and comp audits
- trend analysis: distilling research into an actionable narrative for clients
- persona development

What other outputs am I missing, and what title would you recommend?

Do you think your counterparts in brand strat, creative and account truly understand and appreciate what you do?

Thank you!!

Anyone interested in purchasing a SXSW Film badge at the early bird special cost of $895?

What would you recommend for comms planning training and/or books (other than Julian Cole - which I have done)? Looking at adding more comms planning to my skill set (which is more brand and digital at present). I’m on a client-side team (for context).

I’m struggling a bit. Can any kind of person show me awesome examples of comms plans that really lifted the creative idea? I learn best by seeing examples or case studies. I can explain below...

Hi all, does anyone have a good framework they would recommend for developing HCP/physician communication strategies and defining tactics for HCP engagement (outside of pharma reps)? There is of course a ton out there for patient communications such as patient journey mapping but engaging HCPs is a very different beast. Looking for something a bit more nuanced than a traditional consumer framework. Thanks!

After making it through all rounds of interviews at Apple, I was informed the comms planning role I am after was cut due to hiring freezes. That said, I am being offered a contractor role with potential for full time conversion if the role opens up. Any advice?

Anyone else have to deal with your head of Brand Planning constantly trying to tear down the value of Comms Planning? Is it fear that we will replace them? Or perhaps he's just fundamentally insecure.

Question: I’m new to all this so sorry if this is so obvious. How often do mid to large size agencies contract work out to smaller ones? And what’s the best way to go about starting that relationship?

How much media experience should someone have before pivoting into comms/connections planning? What specific media tools would a comms planner use in their day to day?

Although I've reviewed job descriptions for comms planners, would love to hear someone's input & experience.

Would like to set myself up to make this switch eventually. Thank you

Best agency for comms/connection strategy?

What is comms planning

I absolutely hate creating tactical maps/ecosystems/plumbing charts etc. I love actually working on developing brand plans and tactics- and even the understanding of channels. Should I change fields? What else is there?

Is it realistic to look for a remote / WFH position at the Director-level? Has anyone had experience with that? What does it do to team dynamics?
