Hey 🐠. A buddy of mine is building up CR at a small-mid sized agency... what tools, resources, conferences would you recommend as must explore for someone who is leading and growing the dept?

Guys, ditch your briefs and trunks.

Switch to boxer briefs. They're the best.

Someone recommended me them 2 days back and I wonder why did I not know about this since past 7-8 years.

Thank me later 😂😂

5th September is my last working day at Infosys. Yoe=4+ yrs
Tech= aws devops
I hold an offer of 18LPA from KPMG with joining date of 7th September. (Wfh)
I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Should i join KPMG?

Within my first year of Consulting, really struggling with the hours amongst other things. Spoken to a couple of people internally and the advice is to get on to projects with bigger budgets and therefore bigger teams/more support. I want to wait until I hit the one year mark before making a decision on whether Consulting is for me or not. Curious to hear from other experienced hires..how is/was your first year?

Anyone work at Spotify or someplace similarly music-centric (Tidal, Apple Music)? What’s the lifestyle / WLB like? How’s your team?

What is the salary of consultant in Capgemini

Currently working at CNA and have noticed that people that come into the company are making more than people that have been here for years. Is this common ? Also what is the average starting salary for an APD adjuster ?

Not sure if this is the right forum but - my H1B extension has been approved (just got to know today) but my driving license will expire soon. Can my license be renewed without the original extension petition? Or do I need to wait for the originals to come in. Trying to understand what do I need to carry to the DMV. Based in CA. Couldn’t find a lot of info online, appreciate any help and advice!

And to throw into the mix, my lease is up so will be shifting to a new address soon.

Recent cases of PERM approved within 5-6 months? Submitted in early June, hope to get approval by EOY.

How did you ask for green card upon receiving H1B? I am a H1B holder thinking about asking my employer to sponsor my green card (same employer who sponsored my H1B). Curious to hear how others with similar experience have managed such conversations!

Do you guys respond to emails and phone calls over the weekend or have you been able to put boundaries in place wit your boss?

Wharton submitted!!! So anxious

How do editors out there feel about partnerships? Seems like a great goal if the house is a long term fit. Do the new responsibilities and ability to make a difference outweigh financial risk?

Are post-houses ramping back to in-person? I’m freelance and so far have had a couple in-person sessions but everything else has still been remote. I’m in NYC.

Why do so few producers take interest in learning technical information?

Opinions on if it’s a bad thing to stay at one place for awhile? I’m enjoying the work and steady pay but I worry about getting totally out of the loop at other places. Before this I moved around alot

EDITORS.. do you find that you work weekends on EVERY SINGLE JOB when your cutting for the first screening? No matter what the job is like, no matter how complicated or not, no matter the ship date, I find that I have to work weekends to accommodate the first screening.

Are ad agencies typically signatories of Local 700 Agreements?

Hey editor fishes! How is 2021 starting off for everyone? I often find this time of year slow but so far I’ve been pretty busy!

Hi friends, any agency editors gone from editing in house to art or creative directing? If so, how? I love editing, but I see myself in a more conceptual role down the road. Thanks for any insights y’all can provide ❤️

Anyone have a magic number that would make you give up freelancing and take a staff job? (New York)

Roll call. How much experience? Do you staff in a boutique? An agency? Freelance? If freelance, do you usually work in agency studios, prodcos...? Do you bring on a post producer to help on big jobs?

How much does a post house typically charge an advertising client for editing in NYC? Whether that’s hourly, daily, etc.

I’m so glad this bowl finally exists.

Does anyone know a good website where I can search for movie clips based on categories “man mowing lawn” etc.

I’m new to freelancing, at a senior level and in NYC. Can anyone give me a range of what day rate would be appropriate to charge? Thank you!!

Website question: is it bad to have a few spots that are over five years old? I keep them down at the bottom and the majority are much newer so they sort of serve as a ‘best of’ my older work.

Yet again I’m watching a client fuck up a nice spot so bad I can’t put it in my reel. Absolutely disheartening.

What’s everyone working on these days? Anything fun?

What are some mid-level commercial edit shops with a good reputation? Ones that do good work but not necessarily big budget/super high end? Hopefully NY based? Tyia

Does your agency have any revision requests you always turn away as a rule of thumb?

I'm working on establishing our video department and I pretty much have to start from scratch as far as client/internal understanding of the video process goes (we are a fairly small agency). Any other general advice would be awesome as well.

Which agencies have the best in-house departments?
