Hey Londoners, who’s the best for an original music track these days? Rock n roll, baby!

I have no idea where to post this, but is a anyone else super weirded out by LinkedIn lately? All these pictures of people using their kids as props for parental leave, or how their kid has a disorder and how proud they are? I just came across a post that was a woman lying next to her mom who had *literally* just died. I feel a little cold hearted saying it, but it is so over the top on what is supposed to be a professional network. Am I just totally out of touch?

Let's talk about Stranger Things S5 predictions!!! I think one of the main characters will get killed off. My bet is on Eleven but that may be too obvious. Wbu?

Any book recommendations? Here are a couple that I've recently recommended:1) Freakonomics2) Super Freakonomics3) The Big Short4) Never Eat Alone. Please add as you see fit!

How do you get comfortable eating alone at a restaurant?

Someone please tell me that I can get a rear facing child seat in the back of a mustang… otherwise it looks like I’ll have to buy a new family car to drive the little one around (wife doesn’t drive unfortunately).

Could be a good excuse to get a Taycan but was hoping I could just stick with my mustang. We said next car will be an EV didn’t think it would be so soon though!

I’ve been getting into a healthier routine and make a meal replacement smoothie every morning. I bought a bunch of palisade peaches from a stand and chopped some up and froze them.

Mixed them up today with some OJ, Fairlife milk, unflavored protein powder, spinach, hemp seeds and chia seeds. Best smoothie yet!

Where can I find a heart shaped box with vegan chocolate

So I finally got around to watching the Bear. Thoughts? They did get the frantic element right and the little details. But my family at Thanksgiving all seemed to think it was basically a documentary

I've been working as a host for an expensive restaurant for a year. Considering how much a dish costs here, I don't understand why we can't be paid well instead of having to rely on tips to survive.

How to be good at Sales and have a charismatic personality?
Any words of wisdom? Any great books to read? Any other recommendations?

I just finished directing and producing a short film and I’m try to secure the rights for the Christmas song “jolly old Saint Nicholas” by ray smith on Columbia records for it.

Any idea where I could secure the rights to this song for festivals and online? (I’m only needing to use 45 sec of the song)

Thanks in advance

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

So let’s say if someone’s father / very close relative was very high up in the government of India in Delhi. How does that person go about leveraging his / her relationships, legally, to do something in India? Would you rather do that or stay in the US in consulting?

What's involved in a pension audit? Why am I being brought on as an extra team member just to do that for a month? Seen the same scenario multiple times now.

If you asked to be considered for early promotion and didn’t get it (despite being highly rated, exceeding billable goal, etc) would you look elsewhere? Is it right to be angry about it? I don’t want to spin myself up unnecessarily if it’s unjustified

Why is the ad community in London so cliquey?

Opinions about Phantom?

Visa friends! Had an interview in London, got the verbal, and am doing the visa dance. Started the process 2 weeks ago with HR and now they've ghosted me since then, though they said I have stuff to fill out ASAP. Normal? And am I too American pushy if I reach out to the hiring manager (and my future team) for an update instead?
