Hey all -

One of your bowl leaders here. Sorry, I’ve been traveling (and trying to not be glued to my phone). I booted the one CD out of this bowl.

I’m going to try to be more vigilant about staying on top of the posts - but if there are off topic posts, please do report them. You can also DM me and I can and will bounce people who go wildly off the topic for this bowl.

Finally, just to be clear - let keep political posts out of here and stay on topic ?

Where have you been ordering takeout?

Hi Sharks,

Wanted to know your experience of applying for jobs abroad. For those who converted and joined abroad, did you apply for jobs on LinkedIn? Which platform would be the best for a senior data scientist in India. Also I get 30 lpa now, is it worth going abroad? Can we save more?

Thanks I advance!

Thanks

Taking a mandatory "Audit Quality and Our Tax Provision Work" when I don't do any tax provision work. Nice waste of my time KPMG. Idiots.

The Burrow in DTLA makes a stellar sandwich. One of the few places I've seen that imports jamon iberico. Very cool lounge, tucked away in a basement with no cell service, to enjoy a drink in peace at.

Anyone else think you're better off going to a restaurant than a grocery store? Went out for dinner the other night and there wasn't a soul in the place. No waiting either. e10 DT gets a thumbs up

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

Hey guys! Working on an interesting personal project and would like to know who you guys would suggest as having the freshest haircut in the ad game! Their names, portfolio and agency would be great.

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

Facebook shutting down Oculus Story Studio... VR dead?

So look, not trying to be a dick here, but legit, why do people who live in nyc always give off the vibe that they’re so proud of themselves? Like they’ve accomplishing something just by being there. I’ve lived in huge American cities before but never felt compelled to aggressively pat myself on the back just for signing an overpriced lease. It’s a great place and all, don’t get me wrong, no need to get defensive, but come oooooon, really? Just curios that’s all :)

So… everyone is burnt out?

Hey Fishes. An early career question, Kindly take two minutes in your busy schedule to help me here? TIA!

I have been freelancing (right after graduation) for over 2 years now as a paid media strategist/ a performance marketer. In the upcoming months I wish to join an agency to get corporate exposure.

How do you determine an agency that's right fit for you. I was thinking about giving a shot at GroupM. What are your views about the agency?

Any better agencies that also accept remote roles?

Stop with the unnecessary meetings. PLEASE.
