Hey everyone - recent college grad finishing a summer internship in NY and ready to hit the ground running in a junior planning role.

What agencies are great for young strategists looking to learn?

Is the CPA designation worth it? For me it would take me 1 year of PREP courses and 2 years of PEP until i can write the CFE. And I am 27 years old right now. Also wondering if it would be crazy to pursue the CPA while learning how to code to be a developer as well?

Anyone willing to give me an EY-P referral? Im a junior w/ non-strat b4 consulting gig on my resume from this summer & am interested in making the switch for next summer.

When do you think is the right time to take your side gig and make it your main gig?

Quality engineering VS software engineering. I am currently a quality engineer in medical device. I have 4.5 years of experience. I’m stuck between getting a degree and continuing in quality / manufacturing or switching to software where I know money is great. Thoughts?

If I leave my consulting role and move to a recruiting role at Accenture for a year to build skills, will it be hard to go back into a tech role? I have experience in Change Mangement and Project Management, but I temporarily want a change. Eventually I want to move to a role at FAANG

Considering a move in-house to NBC Universal in any litigation role (though I’d really go to wherever there is a need, whether litigation or business affairs generally). Coming from 4th year law firm litigation experience in a variety of areas but mostly data breach, e-discovery, breach of K. Do I apply with an employee referral or via LinkedIn recruiter that reached out? Alternatively, if anyone has experience applying/at NBCU, I’d so appreciate general advice :) TIA.

Hey fish, I started recently (within the last year) at post PhD level. I’m thinking about moving into pharma or biotech since I don’t think the ladder in consulting is right for me long term. How long do you need to stay in consulting for before making say 150-200k base in pharma/biotech?

This involves training, however what other approaches and tools/solutions do you lean on?

Hi everyone - Can I please get some likes so I can DM? Thanks in advance!

So, does LinkedIn have a feature where you can just have it say “x started a new job at y” instead of the whole “I’m happy to share that…”??

Any tips on how to quantify work as an EA? I’m having trouble with this part but I’ve heard it’s necessary. Also what would be considered a KPI for an EA? That’s not something we tracked at my last job. TIA!

Anyone have a recommendation for books or resources on upping my sales game? Open to in person class, online class, books, etc!

As part of the interview process, a company is asking me to concept a 360 integrated campaign with presentations to multiple teams. Is this normal?

Have you ever said “no” to working on a project? If so, how?

Do LinkedIn skills endorsements mean anything? Has any recruiter said... "Whoa! She's got 47 people that think she's a great writer... we gotta get her in here!" ?

Want to get your opinions on the best small agencies in LA in terms of work produced (media and creative)

Anyone else feel like as you move up, you have to work even harder to justify your value to your company as you grow “out of the weeds”? Especially with the fear of layoffs looming over everyone’s heads.

I have a great opportunity on the table that’s currently work remote with the end goal of returning to the office 1-2 times a week when it’s safe. However, after the past couple months, I don’t see myself returning to live in the big city. Has anyone requested to work fully/mostly remote with a new offer? How did it go? How did you request it so it seems beneficial? Thanks 🙏🏼

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?

Do you ever let how well/poorly your day is going affect when you're interviewing someone? I've been in interviews where it's obvious the interviewer wants to get back to work asap

I totally understand the hustle of emailing people you don’t know to create opportunities. I just don’t understand why obscure vendors email creatives rather than production 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

R/GA vs Critical Mass?

Serious question - which one lasts longer: real Donald Trump or Marcel?

I guess it’s common now to not bring a laptop to show your work at an interview? We’ve had 10 art director candidates come through and maybe 7 of them did not come with any way of showing their work.
