Hi all! First : shout out to the folks who sold the super bowl clients! Question for all. What tools are you using for biz dev? For finding clients specifically. We are a video production house so our needs may be different but we want to grow direct to client work as well. I know of winmo, agency access and agency source. Any other online tools you are using? Thanks!

How is Hyatt Project in Harman for pune location?is there much projects on ETL,AWS in Harman?

Just wrapped a client dinner & I’m pretty sure I ate a bunch of greens that were supposed to just be garnish. Maybe no one noticed!

I was a person who used to love to work. Then I started working crazy hours because of crazy project for almost a year. Felt burnt out and depressed. Took some time off (3 months) to calibrate myself. Now back at work but still feel so demotivated and cant help but feel work as a burden. Anyone feel the same?

Is there a market for lawyers to add expertise In crisis management or reputation management? My goal is to counsel clients on how to respond to media inquiries without saying or posting something detrimental to a potential lawsuit while still maintaining communication with their client base. If so, how to break into that industry? Courses? Books? Certifications?

Impact of big 4 consulting in an data engineering career.

I recently started at one of the big 4 as a DE. So far I have seen some pretty poor coding practice, lack of version control and taking short cut everywhere. Every one also highly prefer no code ETL tool. I am a little worried that this environment is bad for a DE career.

Just wondering if this is just my project or is or project like that? I am considering switching after a few more months.

I’m in our consulting arm. And I just got placed on a project that wants me to travel onsite for a discovery workshop 2 weeks from now. It’s making me incredibly nervous because I’ve never had to travel for work before! I’ve always been on local projects in past consulting jobs and my most recent job was in industry, where it was in the same city as me. I feel so nervous, having to fly alone, and be in a new city alone, which I’ve also never done. In addition, having to engage with clients..cont

I am thinking of switching my current company and i need a referral. If anyone can help me in this regard, i would appreciate.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Our SM project lead is rolling off this week and leaving the firm for another opportunity. Our team is spread across the country - any recommendations for a virtual send-off aside from a Zoom HH?

How should I go about networking to get on a new project with all thats happening? Im currently a second year SA and I am stuck on a project that does not align with my career interests (IT work now but want to move to software development or data analyst roles)

I have a computer science degree and was originally recruited in to Cloud under the impression I would work on automation or similar but two years on I am still only doing administrative work and handling a very niche off the shelf app

I've been feeling very frustrated. I made a huge career pivot from project management to copywriting last year. I do have a journalism degree, but I feel like I'm lacking so many skills and so much knowledge.

I keep getting rejected (usually am the runner up) from contract jobs because I don't have advertising experience or that other person has just that one thing I don't have. Any pointers? I'm currently looking into ad school.

Does anyone want two Boston Red Sox vs Phillies tickets at Fenway on Friday July 9 at 7:10pm?! Bleacher 42 row 30 seat 13,14

Hi Everyone! I have a background in health research. I received my first offer as a ux researcher 3 (1 step below senior) which is pretty competitive compared to my former field. It is with fanduel for 120k base, 6% bonus (8% next year since I’m not starting in jan) , I believe 10% in equity (12.5% next year) total comp 130. I’m extremely grateful but just wanted to see if this was acceptable for the industry. I’m mixed methods and they want to build out their quant side. Should I accept as is?

Am I paranoid? I need advice! (continued)

How long do you plan on staying in consulting after you get a green card? I am debating this myself. Do you plan to leave right after the approval?

Tech Employees: Do you receive free food at your company? What does breakfast, lunch and dinner cost if you eat at your company’s cafe? Thank you for the feedback.

How do you guys manage to avoid being depressed when missing major gains? I missed out on easy 5k last night and its been bringing me down all day.

Apologies if this was already a post, but does anyone here do freelance forensic work? If so, what do you do? This WFH makes me eager to start freelancing and growing a side hustle but unsure where to start. FWIW I have a CPA and CFE.

Why do you all stay in big law beyond midlevel years? How much of it is for the 400k+ income?

Has anyone changed areas of law while in-house? If so, how did you do it and what was that like?

Dumb question coming…moving from a LCOL city where I lived in a nice high rise that had a front desk, package room, etc. How does receiving packages work with SF walk ups / older apartment buildings? If I’m getting a large couch delivered or tons of boxes, do I just have to make sure I’m home?

Has anyone actually see someone go from audit—>FDD—>IB—>PE? I have seen plenty of FDD to IB, but haven’t seen the final step made to PE. Seems like most just end up staying in banking or moving to other corp finance roles.

Say we’ve got a pitch in 3 weeks. What’s a typical fee for a freelance strategist to lead the strategy and work with the team to build the deck? How much would they make in that gig?

Hello! Curious if anyone has any thoughts on new year new business resolutions. Maybe it’s the fact that 2020 sucks but I’m already planning for the new year. I’m going to try and schedule time better for outreach and social media marketing. I tend to be too reactionary with my time.

Anybody care to share tactics for negotiating rates with procurement? Know they’re bluffing to drive all competing agencies down, but not sure what leverage we have to push back.

Thoughts on winmo? Useful or crap?

I’ve been working on a pitch that continues to get delayed and it’s poorly managed. The RFI was due in July. Then days AFTER submission I received an email from the consultant saying we now had until August. End of September rolls around and frankly I had forgotten about this 100-page beast. They want a meet and greet….the following week. The day before the meet and greet we get a list of questions (that aren’t easy softballs). Now 2 weeks later and nothing. What a gross feeling this process is

So I'm at an agency and 80%+ of my time is new business. Pitch, win, set-up/semi-service until we get hires, move on to next pitch etc. (w/ fair share of losses too, of course). But I'm burned out. And while I'm valued, I don't see a return on my investments: personal time, my heart (I'm all in) and professional development. I get rewarded with small spot bonuses sometimes, but not a commission. So do I try to pivot to a real bus dev position? I feel confident I could. Anyone seen this done?

How much is an ANA membership (small firm)?

10 days to turn around a RFP.
Agency: request schedule Q&A session
Client: Let me check schedules. Wednesday next week works for our team... (day 6 of RFP) 🤦‍♂️

Fishies, I am hiring a partner in crime to help me introduce PETERMAYER to the national stage. This isn't your typical biz dev role - it's designed to be a hybrid/cross-discipline role for someone who wants to use their full creative, strategic brain and most definitely NOT stay in their lane. Know anyone that sounds like that, send them my way! (Agency is full-time flex/hybrid, but a desire to be NOLA-based is strongly preferred; however remote may be negotiable.)

Quick Q - how are your comp plans structured ? Not the amounts but more how do you handle recognizing revenue of multi year deals?

Any new biz roles open in NY? I’m looking for Account Supervisor level! I’m struggling to find New Business roles in general, I feel sometimes it can be such a niche search. Any tips / words of wisdom?

Hi all! Just introducing myself. I’ve become a Bowl Leader here in the new biz bowl. Looking forward to it! This bowl helped me tremendously when I switched from prod co sales to full service agency biz dev. Great group! I’m now biz dev director for a production/post/animation facility. Please comment with a bit about you and your role. Thanks!

I’ve seen a lot of agencies bring in freelancers for new business work (either production or concept creating). Would you ever consider bringing in a new business consultant or pitch expert?
