Yes. When client requests start becoming wish lists of results for campaigns that don't even have creative ready yet because items sent for approval receive comments with even more wish lists, causing the whole process too get bogged down and nothing to get off the ground. It's rare, but it's a thing that happens.

Generally this all kicks off with, "I read on [out of date blog] that we should do..." and then loops until everyone is ready to scream.

Yes. For making inappropriate comments to women in the workplace.

Yes, while I was on a shoot.

Worst client ever.
Worst shoot ever.
Adweek article (dropped while shooting) announcing their company hired another guy who’s going to be responsible for the brand??

I’ve never seen it - period.

No, only in the RFP phase.

Do you mean terminate a client relationship? The clients pay the agency, so technically, only the clients are capable of doing the firing.

I actually meant fired by their bosses.

Recently joined the firm as a project delivery specialist. During recruiting, the team harped on how great my background was and how much a good fit I would be for the firm/project...

Well, I was on an onboarding call and they were talking about staffing and projects. The presenter said to reach out to them if you don’t think your project is a good fit. In his words “you were hired into the firm, not a specific project. We see you here long term... With the exception of PDM model” 😅

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development. Though I am part of the ML project, I'm not the person develop the model. And I have a hard time when the interviewer ask about how I develop the model and what hyperparameters I tuned. I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.
