Hi everyone, I need your advice!
I have 7+ years of experience in art direction and creative project management, leading campaigns for major brands. I'm now looking to pivot into brand management, which feels more aligned with my long-term goals. I'm unsure if I should enroll in business school to support the transition or try gaining experience through entry-level brand roles, certifications, or mentorship. I'd love advice from anyone who's made a similar career switch—what worked best for you?

Hello Fishes,
One query, I have received an offer letter from Wipro (Career Group: C1) with package of 28 LPA, out of which INR 420000 is allocated as 'Variable Pay' which will be paid on quarterly basis'. Need to know how much % would generally be paid out? Is it 100% or less as per the individual/organization performance.

I’m moving to Denver with my husband and cat from Dallas. We are 39 and 40. No kids, we will both be working from home. The idea is to rent for a year and see if we like it.

I'm working on a pitch deck, for an event that I'm planning next year for my wine brand called OBA, but I'm struggling to come up with sponsorship ideas.

Also, does anyone know how to create a virtual swag bag?

Thanks in advance.
