Hello,
La mise à jour de NotebookLM pour les "Résumé Audio" en 50 langues est remarquable, surtout pour le français qui atteint un réalisme impressionnant. Même si quelques artefacts subsistent, le progrès par rapport à la version précédente est indéniable. D'ici 2026, la différence avec une voix réelle sera quasi imperceptible.

J'ai produit en quelques heures, un pilote d'une mini série de 3 épisode sur l'application de l'IA pour les entreprises françaises: IA Stratégique https://t.ly/oZwT5

How practical is living as a single parent in Europe (scotland/Norway)?

Hi 🐠 🐟!
I made solo reservations for Ever and Oriole in early October for Nov 4th and 5th. It's looking pretty dire that I'll be able to get in. Did anyone make a reservation at a Chicago Michelin restaurant and have someone drop out at the last minute? I would love to take their spot.

Thanks in advance!

What is an online MBA program you would recommend?

I have never done freelance work and was given the opportunity to take part in a cool project. My problem is it’s a proactive case by a brand new agency and it’s their own project, meaning there’s no client who pays for the work. For them it’s PR for their new business, but I think they’re expecting me to work completely pro bono. It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?

How do vesting schedules typically work for LLCs giving interest to an advisor?

Happy new year 🎊

Anyone working in Searce Cosourcing. How in the work culture and overall company as whole?
@searce

For those of you who got into the big 3 (Bain, BCG, Mk) how many months did you practice casing for? How many hours a week?

Moving from regular education classroom to honors. Any tips?

My mentors (partner & senior) have scheduled a feedback meeting with me on Wednesday. It’s not just me, they’re scheduling meetings with everyone so I’m probably keeping my job. Thing is, I’ve been incredibly frustrated with the firm - I’m buried in work and billing like crazy, but there’s zero transparency on financials and zero communication on bonuses (...)

Can I advertise here? I teach private piano flute and violin lessons online

If I’m selling stock to make the down payment for my primary residence house, is there any way I can limit or avoid some capital gain tax?

Curious how other people’s brains work.
When you get an activation brief, what’s your process for coming up with a solid idea?

Look for cultural moments that you can adapt? Look through award show books? Scroll YouTube videos until 3am?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?

I am a strategist and have been told InTouch is a “strategy-driven” organization (which is unusual but would be amazing). But another poster just said it’s account driven (which is typical). What’s your experience and how do you know?

Is it had to become an Art Director for a fashion brand? Because I was told if you aren’t familiar with Textiles, patterns and fashion merchandising it’s hard to get into.

Grey Merge with AKQA, VMLYR merges with Geometry. Are those „mergers” just the coverups for potential wave of layoffs?

My controversial opinion of the day is that organic social is worth fuckall for the majority of brands (including the trendy lifestyle ones) and that influencers are just propping up vanity metrics.

Has anyone ever been in the position where you’re offered a job and it’s great, but it just doesn’t feel like the right time to jump? If they really like you and they’re actively hiring, is it possible to ask to be reconsidered in a year?

Just got turned down for a job I really wanted. No interview. I even had a referral, but they didn't even look at my book! Feeling empty and worthless right now. I know I have inherent value as a human being but I am so desperate to succeed and can't seem to catch a break. Just wanted to vent. Thank you for reading.

How long can you go without having anything to do before you get laid off?

People whose spouses work in time consuming jobs like doctors and lawyers how the eff do you tend to your home life? My kitchen looks like an animal attacked it.

Just saw a commercial that was definitely filmed in my apartment building in downtown LA. Felt kind of weird.

Anyone work on the Sigma Watch/Stigma Watch (couldn’t quite hear the Recruiter) account at GroupM? I have a few questions while I’m in the interview process!

Anyone else always snacking at their desk? I have to have chocolate everyday or I get a headache, but I think it's making me fat. Especially since I binge on it. >=/

"That's what I do: drink and know things" - Tyrion Lannister and every agency creative ever

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

Can we please be done with vertical video? It’s completely opposite the human field of view, looks horrible, no camera other than a cell phone shoots it. Seriously dreading IGTV.

@Long-time creative freelancers, please enlighten the masses about why you might make a better staff hire than say, someone with nearly all staff role experience. Help clear up this weird prejudice.

Dear Creative Directors who’s only talent is showing up to meeting with a full repertoire of buzzwords, die slow. Thanks, everyone.
