Anyone got onboarding today 19th Oct 2022..? Bangalore location..?

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?

Does anyone regret having a second kid? Did it make working in advertising completely untenable?

Anyone having any experience working for NetApp account in TCS ? Would like to know about the experience. Thanks.

How long does it take for globant to come back with results/feedback from 2nd round of interview?

Any suggestions for a doable road trip for 3/4 days from LA in late Jan / early Feb?

Anyone else having trouble focusing today? Every time I have a long break and come back to the office I’m reminded how much I don’t like my current job. ID Associate and I have such a hard time concentrating even after a week off. I find it mind-numbing and unfulfilling. I’m never excited to come to work anymore for the past few months now. Just found out from a legal recruiter that I’m also way underpaid here. Hopeful I’ll get a job in a diff area of law or find another calling altogether.

Would you consider being an entrepreneur? Why do some people want to be entrepreneurs and some don’t?

If your an experienced staff or senior with hedge- fund experience and want to move to Dallas, DM me to discuss discretely. Honestly great team. Turnover has been low for last 18 months at 10%. Compared to 40-50% in other places. Crazy hours feb-apr, 40 apr-jul, 45 in Aug, maybe 50-60 that last week of aug/ early sept. <40 post 9/15. We have a need at the senior level to fill a gap. Seniors help is needed everywhere so if your interested, come cash in your chips!

Do you ever get rejected from a job you didn’t even want and yet somehow you’re still upset? Haha I feel like a crazy straight man who gets rejected “fine bitch i didn’t want you any way!!”

Anybody here use StatSocial or any other social audience research platforms?

I’m looking to pivot into a growth innovation team (agency or tech).

I’m currently running all components of marketing / growth (for startups). But lately the researching, conceptualizing, and designing of growth opportunities makes me happier than executive.

Anyone in the field able to share any advice on getting into the field? Or willing to give a referral?

Do y'all have any tips or insights about switching from client to vendor side research?

I'm making the jump from client side to vendor side soon. And also a jump from individual contributor to manager. While I've been in client facing sales roles before, I've only ever worked on the client side in consumer insights. Any advice on making this switch is appreciated!

Question on switching from provider side to brand/client side…
I’ve been on the “solution provider side” to brands CPG/retail insights and innovation teams, largely in account management (sales) for B2B syndicated database/SaaS providers.
I’m looking to break into an insights/innovation-type role on the client side.
Any suggestions on addressing perceived experience gap because I’ve always been on the pricier side? Are industry certifications helpful on a CV?
Lots of questions, TIA!
