Hello! I’m new at fishbowl and would love to use this platform to grow more professionally through active listening and advice. That being said, I’m a strategist with the resume of a media person. Can anyone help me with better positioning myself as a strategist? I really want to start a strategy role but I don’t have the actual experience and I’m afraid I’m not passing the initial screening for a strategy role because of my resume.

Hi! Can you use the title Comms Strategist? Or Creative Strategist? And highlight experience of using media to plan comms? Plenty of agencies are looking for strategists with a digital media background now, so play up the media experience as a benefit.

I recently switched job and joined another B4 firm. As part of the hiring I was promised with a sign on bonus. Now I have received the sign on bonus twice, in back to back paychecks. I know I have to somehow return the second bonus to the firm. Does anyone know how taxes work on this? As both the bonuses were tax deducted prior to deposit, when I return amount do I need to pay back the withheld taxes to the firm as well? Asking as the amount is big and don’t want to go in the IRS route. TIA.
