Hello! Current college student looking to go abroad for school while interning. Any advice on great markets for advertising? I know London has a solid ad scene, but I’d love to hear of other places!

Career opportunities like that are awesome BUT just don’t over commit yourself. Yes an internship abroad could be cool. But if you’re going abroad regardless of the internship opportunity, consider not doing an internship and instead really immersing yourself in the culture of your host country and traveling. You’ll get way more “experience” and perspective you can bring to your future jobs and career that way outside of trade skills.

Wish I was in your shoes. If I were you, I'd look at The One Show agency rankings. You'll see agencies from Auckland, Amsterdam, New Dehli, Melbourn, Tokyo, etc.

And you'll see what agency they came from. Find the mutherfuckin CD and write him a letter.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?

Ugh I wanted to take my son to see a UFC match in person. Just so happens there is one in November at Madison Square Garden - great right!

The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!

I really need advice. I’ve been in my current role for a couple years and I’m just so defeated. I am good at my job. I work so hard and I’m so undervalued and unappreciated. My work is scrutinized to a degree that no one else experiences (I could give concrete examples of other people delivering design work that haven’t met BASIC design principles and it’s gotten approved) compared to me where I frequently get feedback that somehow makes my work worse but I just comply because it’s not (1/2)
