Hi Fishes,

I come across many job descriptions for roles in corporate communications preferring experience in digital marketing. As a marcom person, I feel we should know how to use the digital platforms effectively rather than literally sit and work on the campaign tools. Please let me know if I am mislead.

Anybody knows how's Zensar Technologies. Got an opportunity for SCM Oracle fusion.

Thank You..

Goff against Seattle or mahomes against Jacksonville? Both are hot right now. I’m inclined to go Goff because Jacksonville’s defense worries me, and Seattle is pretty week this season. Thoughts?

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be. I have colleagues doing intense data science tasks as BI Analysts, and can’t help but feel indignant on their behalf because when hearing their job title, one would underestimate their technical ability.

Any other fish just own one pair of jeans? I usually get 4-5 wears before a wash. I had more pair when I was younger. I’m thinking this is probably outlier behavior.

Read that new Strategy analysts are being offered 100K coming in. Is that for Strat only or all of S&C? Will this band be applied to current analysts too?

Does anyone work at a firm where legal assistants don't do legal assistant things? For example, I have to do my scheduling and calendaring. I have to upload documents to our file management system. This morning, a name partners assistant didn't realize the name partner had a depo and didn't confirm it. This is how this firm as been for decades and it's incredibly frustrating to work this way. It's so hard to not stress over this daily.

Hello Fishes, I have started my role of an Internal communications executive after 12 years of sabbatical, due to marital and parenting period. Looking to enhance my skills for growth and better efficiency. Could anyone please suggest what kind of skill enhancement course would be beneficial for me?
Also, what is the current salary slab for this role, because I joined in a very low package, being eager to get back to the role. So grabbed whatever opportunity I got without doing much research.

How about a thread on what Corp Comms pros make in India? It'll be nice to know our compensation journey through the years. I have started with 4 LPA as a campus recruit for internal Comms analyst role at one of the big 4s? In 6 years, my CTC has grown 4x.

I hope you all are having a good day and looking forward to the weekend!

Salary package for communication exec with 10 years work ex

Hi Everyone!

Hope you'll are doing great! I was little occupied on the personal front hence couldn't keep up with the postings here.

I see in spite of 1-year anniversary of the bowl, the numbers didn't increase much. I know there are many other forums (like whatsapp groups) with similar userbase/members which maybe inhibiting sign-ups and activities. But one key differentiator is that Fishbowl groups are anonymous.

Request all the members help us expand the group. <More in Comments>

Do you want this group to become more active and publish posts more often?

Hello professionals,
Need your suggestions.
What should be the decent package for an Internal communication professional with 5+ years of experience.
Location- Bangalore.

It's funny how leadership development programs are a sham. Content is wordy and managers who preach don't practice.

Hypocrisy trending !

Open to position in corp communication- internal and external. Location - Hyderabad. Pls share any leads.

Dear Bowl Members,

I beleive all the members of this group are in the communication and branding industry - a field where proactive communication and community participation ideally should be the highest but it's not so as of now. Instead, consulting, tech, developer bowls are more active than this bowl.

I request all of you to be proactive and spend 15 minutes a day or every two days to answer the queries posted by members. We can make a difference to someone's life/career with a response.

Do mid size companies do brand studies? What tools / methods are used (I'm guessing most won't do this given that it's not cheap)

My company has given me a promotion without a raise. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

Little background:

Asked for promotion in late 2020 - was required to skill up, after skilling up, asked again about when I'll be promoted and was denied because there is no "vacancy" for it.
Got my annual hike in Oct 2021 without the promotion. I asked HR last week again and got a random announcement email saying my promotion is w.e.f Oct 2021. ( and no raise for the newly promoted role).

I’m looking for mentors in branding. Branding is something that I studied in my MBA days.. all that I know is what’s there in the internet. I am looking for a mentor who could take me under their wings and teach me all about branding.

How are you all doing? Here's a thought to get some of us chatting again:

In an increasingly hybrid/remote working culture, how do you educate and convince your business stakeholders to not do info overloads with emails? The risk of people not being aware is there but sending separate emails for every sub-program, webinar is annoying (as a receipent) I understand employee perspective.

Can anyone concur the following, working on multimedia editor (Video) (4-6 YOE) requisition:
1. The average rate for freelancer - ₹700-1200 per hour
2. The average compensation package for a full time editor: 7-9 LPA

Grateful for any inputs.
