Here are things I'm working on.

Gentelmen,

Could you suggest a good pubic hair removal cream or any other way you use to remove it?

Please don't suggest trimmer. Tried it, want to explore different option.

Thanks in advance!

A girl (she’s 22/23) in my condo is showing keen interest in me. I’m 31M, single and feel this will be a disaster to proceed with. It’s not like that I hate her or something. I just never thought about her.

Also just recovered from a bad breakup after 7+ years of relationship.

Is it me or is preparing for A LP behavioral round just hard? Feel like I'm making up stuff to fit them questions and super bored out of mind!

Has anyone worked with Warren Buffett? What was that like?

Hi all- anyone knows any agency or client side looking for an AE / Brand Strategist entry role?

Hello Everyone. I am Currently working as a business specialist in ABV amazon. I have been a part of the team for a year and 4 months and am actively looking for internal job transfers that will suit my profile. Any leads?

DLA Piper culture? Interviewing there this week. Thanks :)

Saw a post in the consulting bowl and curious if it applies to everyone - people on this app seem to get ‘worked’ over 50 hours a week. I’ve worked ~10 ever since the start of this year and I think it’s fantastic

Anyone go from a congressional or govt affairs background to an MBA program?

Hey does anyone know of any summer hardware internships (perferrably FPGA, ASIC or Firmware) in SF or the Sillicon Valley Area? Its been a struggle trying to find one.

BIA Briefs: I’m an associate at an immigration law firm. I determined that immigration isn’t for me So I gave the managing partner my 2 weeks. He wants me to wrap up some BIA briefs before I leave however I’m reviewing the record for a lot these and I’m seeing that a lot of the arguments for Asylum, Withhold, and CAT are incomplete. How I’m going to argue that the IC abused its discretion or misapplied the law when we made a facially insufficient argument for relief?

I wanted to know the expected salary SAP offers to a person with 5.3 years of experience.

Art Directors, how do you feel being led by creatives with copywriting background (CDs) whose present clearly lack of knowledge about Design/Art Direction references. How to deal with it? Any tips?

What were some of the challenges you had to deal with when you first started working abroad? I’m in the middle of interviews and hoping I get an offer so I could work abroad 🤞

Hey all,

I’m trying to switch careers from design to art direction and I’m trying to develop my skills.

Can anyone recommend some good books that will help me to improve please?

Thanks!

There seems to be a Copywriters group, and a "Creatives" group, but not one dedicated purely to professional Art Driectors. So now, here it is!

So, what agency right now, is totally smashing it?

Any art directors looking for a copywriter to pair up with and create spec work for our portfolios? NYC based CW here.

Anyone want to help me out? Stuck on a brief and would love to brainstorm! Dm me if up for it

What do you say when people ask “so what do you do?”

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Any other ADs feel like our roles are starting to become just glorified graphic designers? Nothing against GDs I started as one but wanted to move into art direction cause I wanted to come up with 360 campaigns and make tv spots not resize banners and and make IG story posts.

I’m looking for photography course suggestions—

I took photography in high school and a beginners course in college but thats all. As an art director some of my favorite work revolves around video and photography, so I’m looking to understand more—technically and creatively. Who has good suggestions of courses or programs, online or in person (anywhere) that can help me expand my knowledge?

Hi! Are there any creatives that would like to chat? I’m a recent graduate and really hoping to ask some questions. Much appreciate it!!

I started full time at an agency mid pandemic so have never once worked in the office. I find myself working 50+ hour weeks even from home. Everyone who says "I can't wait to be back at the office" - are they really serious? To tack on commute time and public transit anxiety, wake up at the crack of dawn. Will working from the office somehow decrease the work load and increase productivity? Genuinely curious who wants to go back and why.

Art directors do you guys ever feel that your CW partner tends to get more credit because they present the scripts to the wider team?

A wonderful friend recommended me to a recruiter, when the recruiter was looking to place a creative.
This role is at a small agency, I’m going to be paired with a Sr. Copywriter. They’re looking for a conceptual thinker and brilliant designer, no pressure.
I have some internships and some freelance under my belt since graduating portfolio school, and a current laptop that’s running on fumes ha.
I’m intimidated, cautious, yet super grateful to finally hear from someone.
Any words of wisdom?

I need to get a new laptop, my 2015 MacBook is on its last leg. I need something that can handle cinema 4D and Adobe Creative Suite. I assume I’ll probably have to get some dongles.

Any recommendations?

Where to go as an Art Director if you no longer wish to work at an Ad Agency? Ideas?

Is it a dead in to go in-house early in your career? And is it doable to go back and forth between agency and in-house opportunities?

Hola Art Directors! Has anyone taken a great online photography class? I’m looking to gain a better understanding of what happens on the other side and communicate with photographers and directors better.
