Hello recruiters, happy Monday!

I want to know why recruiters ask me in an interview if I am looking at other opportunities, or if I am interviewing at other companies. If I say yes they will ask at what stage I am.

I just want to know the reason behind it and if there is a right answer to this question!

Appeared for KPMG interview 45 days back. HR is intentionally delaying offer release. Done with 2nd round of interview in last week of July. My Lwd is in oct first week. She took documents on 23rd Aug and did salary discussion a week later. And giving shitty excuses like waiting for approval. Approver is on leave bla bla. Has anyone faced such issue with this company? I never expected such a shitty and worst recruitment process from a BIG4

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

I have heard from friends working in different companies about Synechron. Employees working hours are very closely monitored at Synechron.

Employees have to spend 9 hours inside Office rather than Synechron premise.

Also, employees have some app installed in their virtual machines which tracks the duration for which they were logged in.

Is this true?Wanted to confirm from someone who are working with Synechron.

Does GS provide permanent WFH?

I had interview yesterday. My app status showing as you are in hiring team phase of interview. May I know am I selected or not?

Just here to remind some of you to: (1) Really humble yourselves. You're not that hot. (2) stop whining about nonsense. We don't care about your flight no-upgrade, Amex points, etc.

I want to find a girlfriend, but every time I meet someone on a dating app I get bored after awhile and end up ditching on plans. Wtf is wrong with me?

If your ultimate goal is to flip badges (contractor > fed) what is the best GS level to do so in terms of maximizing career development and minimizing the inevitable pay cut?

I think we should create a compensation thread in this bowl. It would help a lot of people who are planning to switch companies/jobs or who are moving to this region. Just a thought, since it’s one of the most common questions asked here.

Anyone make a move from advertising to firms like ideo and frog? Would love to chat!

What’s DDB like these days?

I made an entire ad campaign against a green screen for a protective hand chalk company. Would love some feedback if you're curious.

Feel like I wasted a year learning UX.
I'm a graphic designer with 8 years of experience in brand design and visual comm
Finished 2 certifications in ux design


But now if I apply to UX or UI design roles obviously I am not that experienced.
Which means I need to take a pay cut starting as a junior ux.

Are there any designers in the middle who add skills while they work like UX?

Which roles should I apply to now?
My expectations are atleast something between $90-110k 🇨🇦

Please advise.

Art Directors. How protective are you of your references and resources? I have a folder with lot’s of textures, mockups that I’ve spent time building. I even paid for some of those assets. So I always get a lot of compliments on my comps and decks. Sometimes someone ask for my files and I really don’t want to since I put so much effort on that. But I also feel bad being gatekeeper of things.

Is one year too soon to leave for another job?

Hello!

I'm about to start a new job with my main account being a big beer brand.
I want to study and prepare as much as I can before it starts, and influence myself as much stuff as possible... Both from advertising and outside of it.

Can you please share your tips and recommendations?
Specially Art Direction focused - I really want to arrive and be prepared to perform to the best level possible.

Thank you!!

ISO an ACD of visual design for our Nike client! Fully remote, but willing to work on PST hours. Must have a book with projects that include typographic variation, motion samples, systematic brand visualization, digital UI design and design driven campaigns. Hit me up if this sounds like you!

I have a CD that gets extremely flustered when you ask them for their opinion on a solution. For example after showing them multiple color pallets and CD not quite liking any of them (real Goldie locks moment) i suggested why not we do (fill in three colors here), the CD freezes up and gets annoyed because they don’t want to say yes or no without seeing it in front of them. Working on tight turn arounds and a cd who is too busy for meetings it proving tough with remote working. Any tips?

Go-to outfit for client meetings?

Be honest. Why do you keep coming back to this app?

How early is too early to ask about salary when interviewing? First meeting w HR? With the CDs/ECDs? Or do you have to wait all the way till the end? Just went through a long interview process only to find out they never had enough to hire me without me taking a pay cut 😭

Fallon NYC, how’s it like? Are there opportunities for creatives? Is there mentorship?

What do we think about Joan?

Does anyone have a Getty easy access account they can share we me?

Doesn’t everyone think they’re above average or are there people who actually think that they’re not as good as others? (Specifically in terms of advertising and for creatives)

Okay so for the longest time I thought that everyone thinks like me. (Bad mistake, I know). But a few posts on here have really made me think. So I’d love to know what everyone thinks.

2 offers:

1. Great global agency but working on a pharma account. High pay.

2. Agency that’s the butt of many jokes but working on a fun brand that they have made decent work for.
