Here’s a weird one: Alfonso Marian was quietly fired from Ogilvy, CCO . Nothing was said in an email or a pr statement. He was a collossal disaster and a jerk. Good riddance. No Lions, no job!

Weird, I was at Ogilvy when they brought him on years ago (I’ve since left) and it seemed like everyone really liked him. So, I guess OP had a different experience?

I worked there two years and seldom saw him, never met him and he was never involved in any projects/pitches I was on. Weird.

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?

All, this is my first post and I just want to share that I passed the first Amazon interview for Technical Program Manager and am heading to on-site virtual interviews! I have 20 years of corporate tech in a traditional F500 company (top 50). The only thing I can say that I like about my current job is the work-life balance and some of the people. But the work itself is soul crushing and the industry is stagnant. To those who are 40+ years old, is it crazy to change now?
