Hey gang, what's a fair salary for an ACD in SF?

I hate ketchup but somehow that Heinz ad is my favorite so far.

Hi All,
I got an offer from Deloitte India and KPMG Global Services into deal advisory role. The salary difference is not very much but I'm confused now which one to join.
In both the companies I have to work with international clients.

Hi fishes,

My interview with Microsoft for SE2 was scheduled and cancelled a day before. Neither I received any email regarding cancellation nor the recruiter informed me. Two days later I got an email saying Microsoft is freezing hiring for certain departments and the recruiter is ghosting me. Will I even get a chance to interview atleast?

What is the highest percentage increase you have negotiatied for an internal position? Wondering if all companies typically bump 5-10% for the next paygrade range or is there opportunity for 20-30% jumps.

Im currently going through industry change.
Im a pastry cook with 4yrs experience and the average salary start for this position is now at $22/hr here in vegas, especially in the strip. But cooking/baking is not my passion. So im changing into veterinary medicine and im seeing that the starting rate for a vet tech is around $16-18. Why is that?? Why are people in the vet med industry being paid so low?? Something needs to change. Labor of love aint enough for the people in this job.

Would you move to NYC if you found a job there and can afford the lifestyle / rent? Not sure if I should do it, GF would rather stay here.. any advice?

A branding question. If FIFA stopped calling it the Women’s World Cup, would more of the world start treating it with as much reverence as the men’s World Cup, which is just called The FIFA World Cup?

Some days the ghosting and radio silence comes off as blacklisting and soul crushing. How hard of an ask is it to copy and paste "thank you for your interest, we decided to go with another candidate"

Anyone know if Facebook did the new Oculus go spots with celebs in house? The one with Jonah hill and Adam Levine was solid. Made me chuckle.

I put in my two weeks! But now it's weird here haha. Agencies should ask you to leave and pay you out. This is silly.

My ECD keeps changing our work before it goes to client and it's cost us making good work. Our books are suffering because he can't get his hands off the tools. Our books are only full of spec now.

Did you feel “ready” the first time you managed a team? Or insecure?

What advice do you have for someone who wants to make a quick and seamless transition from operations to creative?

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD. Then when im scoped over work that my CD and I oversee, some people are asking me how does my role differ from the CD’s, as they tend to look at me as an unnecessary layer for approvals. In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve

Which is the right move for a young creative: free ride to portfolio school, or take a full time junior position where you’ve been interning?

Moved over to a review system called 15Five. It allows you to review your manager. I gave my manager a terrible review. The catch is: they get to “anonymously” see your reviews. Bad move?

I worked with a Junior AD that skipped college and went straight to portfolio school. I was mad resentful of him at first, mostly because I wish I would have thought of that and saved $100K.

Living outside of NYC and remote interviewing for a job, landing an offer, then relocating to NYC -> anyone ever done this?

I’m transitioning into a role where I’ll be more hands on in production. Previously, the producers handled the budget, contracts etc. I haven’t done this in a long while so I hope I could get some answers here to be more prepared

This is a much smaller company so I imagine I’ll have to take on some of that eventually.

What are the standard day rates today for a stylist, photographer, Director, DP, set designer, prop stylist? Are there resources out there I can just look up?

Just me here hoping that slack never adds the “read” notification on messages.

Which one would you pick?

Big name shop. Shitty account, but you get opportunities beyond that.

Shop with bad reputation that lacks PR and hardly enters awards but has a lot of book-worthy projects.

Where do you stay up to date in the best ideas from the industry?

Who are your favorite advertising comedy directors? Who are your favorite comedy directors who are women?

Offered 8 grand less than interns who were hired on last year...need negotiation advice!
Is it appropriate to bring up that I know the salary amount that was offered there in previous years?

The industry is crumbling under our feet and I still can’t decide if I want to go in-house or not. I’m afraid it won’t be as exciting and I won’t travel as much. But also, I need a job. So 🤦‍♂️
