Hi everyone! I’m a recent postgraduate in Marketing Communications (with Distinction) and have over three years of experience working at a media agency. During this time, I’ve worked with major clients like Amazon, Red Bull, and Mercedes, gaining hands-on experience in campaign strategy and execution. I’m now looking for marketing opportunities in London and would love to connect with anyone who has insights or openings. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looking for a Business Development opening with 15+ yoe.

What are good brands for young business people. I don't like Gucci and LV cause they are so mainstream. I am in the market for a new wallet and want something that is unique and nice (thinking Tom Ford or Mulberry)

Why don’t some big fours participate in Chicago’s pride? I’ve seen Deloitte but not EY.

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

Thoughts on XT?

At what point are you too specialized to lateral to internal audit? (PA, consulting, or industry roles) Currently have 2 years of external audit experience and 2 years of forensics: I always thought of internal audit as a decent exit but I’m beginning to get worried about getting too specialized to make that move one day

Hi
What opportunities are available for someone with a background in sustainability (Masters degree) and around 1 and 1/2 YOE

Have final round interviews at BCG tomorrow. I'm at S& right now at the SA level. Father had a sudden health issue come up this week and it's got me off my game. I'll ultimately need to support him financially for at least a year while he recovers. Not complaining, but has me considering just dropping out of the interview process. Is that crazy? Is the opportunity with BCG really so far beyond what I have already with S&? Is dropping a better look than interviewing and doing terribly?

Are ppl worried about being on the bench esp when there aren’t a lot of projects in the pipeline? New hire here about to be up for staffing for the first time and sentiment at my firm seems to be worried/fearful about being unstaffed. Is it actually worrisome to be on the bench in this environment or is this just a product of highly ambitious over achievers worrying about not being constantly utilized?

How's Major Players for recruitment in a strategy role? First time to look into UK-based roles, so I don't really know who's a good recruitment firm

Pandemic induced pressure & burnout. Is every agency bad at present? Desperate to move on before it kills me but worried it’s not diff anywhere else. Hearing people are off sick in lots of agencies.

What’s BMB like to work at?

Our senior creative leadership keep talking about winning Cannes Lions and D&AD pencils but none of them have actually won any since 2007 (that’s 14 years 😭 ) and between all three of them they’ve never won more than a couple of silvers, a couple of bronzes and a couple of in-books (that’s with a combined experience of over 60 years 😭). They have no clue 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭. Tell me something about your agency so that I can feel better about the hell-hole I find myself in🙏

Hi all! Curious if any Americans here have had any experience applying for a temporary work/creative (or other non-company sponsored) visa and if creative ad work is considered eligible. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Is it standard or common for ad agencies to cover egg freezing and/or IVF? It’s a common perk in the US

National insurance

how’s everyone feeling about this?

Quite miffed as I just got a small pay rise and now I think this plus the upcoming not rises in utilities and inflation will pretty much cancel it out.

This country is fucked lol
