Have you ever been so burnt out that you want to leave this field altogether? Seriously considering it as my friends in marketing, sales and project management have a way better work life balance and get paid more than I do. I’m questioning what’s the point of it all anymore when I’m so unhappy and stressed all the time. I’d be willing to take a job where I’m under utilized in skill for a couple years just to catch a break. Has anyone hit their limit yet and if so, how did you overcome it?

Places that do cool work with a fantastic work life balance or asking for too much? Shoot!

Dear All

Need your advice.

Am a 13 years experienced resource in leading large scale Ops & Business Transformations assignments for globally distributed clients.

Worked with TCS, Deloitte and Amazon and have enjoyed it ..

Please can you all advice how this can pan out for me.

Will it hurt me in the long run to have comms experience in different industries? My agency is hiring and I'm watching folks at all levels who would otherwise be qualified for a role be disqualified because their experience isn't solely in the tech/B2B space. I enjoy the work I'm doing now but I'm still so new to my career that I can't help but be curious about working in PR for fields like entertainment or consumer. FWIW, my internships were all fashion PR and I didn't think I'd be in tech.

Hi Fishes,

Is WFH ends for PwC India. I am supposed to join in 2nd week of July and recruiter said that WFO started and all onboarding are doing physically.

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.

We're about to start planning our wedding. I have a huge family and friend group (100+) that I want to invite and she has a very small family and group of friends (>50). We haven't talked about this yet, but I wanted to get some opinions on this before hand. Should I reduce the be l number of people I want to invite to match hers?

Associate in the NY office of a magic circle firm. Been really struggling with mental health issues for a long time - I feel like I’m begging for guidance/supervision and not getting any, and can’t get any support junior-wise either. I just get told I’m doing a “good job” but I’m pretty sure that’s just because no one is looking. Is the expectation just to magically figure out how to get things done solo, even if it’s the first time to do it? Is it better at NY-HQ firms that have more resources?

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.

Imagine if you’re a manager of a team and you come on here and read a not-so-positive post and you go, “what an a$$h0l3,” but it’s about you…lol.

I’m interviewing for an in-house PR role (mostly content/media relations) at a digital company. I’ve had 3 interviews so far and completed one extensive writing assessment (800-word article). I’m pretty sure I have the job, and had a great interview with VP of Corp. Comms. today. She mentioned she had no hesitations about my qualifications. But the HR mgr said they now want me to do a 2nd assessment “just to dot their i’s” and they want a 750-word release by Monday. Is this normal?

My background is in comms/market research and looking to get into messaging/strategic comms/brand positioning. Any advice on how to pivot away from just doing research?
