I’m trying not to sound artificial here. That’s one of the grossest things I’ve heard in this industry. This is the future?

This is normal. Should the UK only submit one athlete per Olympic sport? Of course not. More players in the competition increases the chances the motherland takes home the prize.

Many dogs in one fight increases your chances to win. What’s hard to understand.

Three lots of pitch costs for Omnicom to swallow!

Can’t imagine much synergy or collaboration happening here. It’ll be a painful for Omnicom Production to cost up so many routes!

But at least they have a 3 in 5 chance of winning the account!?

Except unless they spend on freelancers, it’s the people working around the clock who are paying the cost.

They're not fighting for the account per se. They're fighting to keep the name in the next merger.

Three dogs in the race increase your likelihood of winning

Hi All,

I have 4 yrs of exp as full stack developer and my current CTC is 15 lpa and notice period is of 3 months. I got an offer from another firm for 24lpa but they have shared the offer letter of DOJ after 2 months and asked me to negotiate my notice period or look for buyout. What should I do in this case? Should I connect with my current hr to negotiate? Cause I tried convincing the new hr to share the offer letter of DOJ after 3 months but she is not in the favour of that.

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment.
