Hey fishies!

Trying to break into creative strategy at an ad agency (no prior exp at one.) I have some mock campaigns and ads to show but nothing that's gone live. Any advice on how to get my foot in the doors of one of the top agencies? (Career pages, LI hasn't been working very well)

Hi fishies 🐠 I’m an Art Director that’s trying to transition over to UX Design. I have experience building websites and some previous freelance work doing some UI/UX. What’s the best route to transition over and would I need to apply for entry level roles? Does an AD role with a UI/UX focus even exist? I enjoy the thinking of UX design and am comfortable designing interfaces but I’m mostly unsure of the process of working with an UX team. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Any transfer from tax to FDD? How was the learning curve from the transition ? And what were some unforeseen challenges that you didn’t expect?

I have CFA level 1 books. About 14 books in total. Anyone interested?

Hi fishes,
Iam a production support engineer (ETL,JAVA)with 5 years experience and 8LPA. Iam planning to switch my career. Will salesforce be a good choice for me? Please suggest.

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

Hi fishes!
I want to know how long do top agencies take while hiring (complete process). I have applied at several organisations but they are proceeding so slowly.

I'm also quite desperate to join at a good place to learn.

I feel this bowl is very much dead. No one posts anything and not much responses to any posts. I would really appreciate if people working in this sector share their experiences and help the struggling ones.

Anyways it just comes down to individuals' mindset. 🤷🏻‍♂️
