Another CD at my agency just resigned. He’s started a Google doc about all the creatives who work on our account below our level, to to share with management. You know, listing their strengths and weaknesses. He wants me and my creative partner to contribute. Think burn book from Mean Girls. It feels so wrong and I want to point it out to him and report it to HR. Imagine if it was inadvertently shared with the teams. Also it’s so subjective and shouldn’t be put in writing. Am I overreacting?

Hi All,

Moving out of IT consulting to Product Management side in the next couple of weeks.
The new company I will join is an e-commerce division of a leading food retail group.

Any suggestions about books/ videos that I can access to learn the basics of the product side?

Suggestions on resources (books, courses, etc) for improving the following?

Effective communication
Management and mentorship
Working well with people with different working styles
Negotiation

I'm looking to pivot from consulting into tech. I've gotten lots of interesting from tech companies on the ops side but am much more interested in product management.

Any advice on books or courses to help make the transition? I'm struggling to land PM interviews at companies that aren't tiny startups :(

I'm considering pivoting to copywriting because that's the part of my role I'm best at -- a lot of the account management stuff is draining, but I can whip out social and marketing copy quickly & I enjoy it. Wondering if anyone has insight / leads on making the jump from accounts to the copy side when applying for jobs? 5 YOE, 3 in-agency with a mix of automotive and pharma + a side gig as a published author with muliple books (hoping that'll help on the creative / copy end?) Thank you!

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

Any good recommendations for books/blog articles on people management?

If you have recovered from burnout, how did you do it? I feel the only way for me is to take 1-2 months off but I have a new job offer lined up right after bonus payout so timing doesn’t work. Also afraid to request (medical) leave right before bonus season. I have used up PTO periodically throughout the year but am still suffering from chronic stress, extreme fatigue, complete loss of motivation, irritability

Took a new job only because I was laid off and desperate to find something, but it’s definitely not what I’m looking to do. Would it look bad if I left early (been about a month)? Should I include my current job on my resume or mention it if I interview?

The hours I’m working right now to meet a deadline are extreme, I’m only getting a few hours of sleep a night. How do you keep yourself alert during that final push?

It's so frustrating😤
Occasion: Dussera at Mysuru

I’ve recently started working at an amazing company, I love everything about it! The culture, the people, the projects, the flexibility. However, the only problem is me really. I’m fully aware that in life there will be some difficult people to work with, but my patience and tolerance has dropped significantly. I hate that because it took so much for me to get to this position of happiness, I’m carrying my personal baggage and might be scaring people slightly. (1/2)

Tips to handle a non-legal boss that cuts you off relevant matters?

Entered to the company as its first in-house counsel

The legal issues were previously handled by the CFO with help of outside counsel. 1st year was hard because he was territorial about legal matters, but I reported directly to the board so it wasn't a true issue

2nd year: The CEO retires, and the new one decides to put me under the CFO in the organigram. Now I'm back to square one bc this guy cuts me off any relevant issue!

S& reply: "We have carefully reviewed your experience and qualifications against the firm's requirements. Unfortunately, in light of our current needs, we are unable to consider your application any further."

Background: 3 years industry experience (doctor), management degree from a target, 1x consulting internship, some management experience

Started a job and it’s great but I just got an offer from a better place with a higher title and work I’m interested in. Should I quit? Feel horrible but I’m also scared of stunting my career

Anyone heard of Pactum?

Full round of interviews completed. No major pay hike but still happy to switch. However for 3 weeks it’s been radio silence. Wrote to recruiter two weeks ago and recruiter said they were interviewing other candidates and there’s no result yet. Should I; a) write to HM directly and inquire? b) write to HM and ask to be considered for other roles he had that I was a potential with? c) sit tight?

Hi 🐠! Recently transitioned out of consulting to tech S&O - any advice on “must haves” to use my computer accessories budget on?
