Hi,
I would love some leads on graphic design or art direction jobs. I’m based in London. Have agency experience working on designing concepts and visuals for ad campaigns both print and digital. I’m also great with 3D software like Houdini, nuke.
Here’s some of my design work: https://www.behance.net/gallery/209998541/Art-direction-Portfolio

Anyone who has started up a side hustle whilst working in consulting - is it generally a good idea to let your employer know or will they make your life difficult/try to push you out if they know?

(Context - I need the extra income to have a shot at affording grad school, I work for a small boutique, job contract was ambiguous on the issue. Side hustle is selling stuff I make as a hobby on Amazon)

Thanks!

Would you take a pay cut to move from an on-site to a fully remote position? If so what % of a cut and where would you move if anywhere?

Best intern pranks.. go!

Beginning to consider going in house (4th, corp) - I really haven’t thought about what I want, partly because I’m not sure what’s out there/attainable. Is it a bad idea to start by applying to a couple positions that interest me and seeing where that gets me? I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.

How do y’all calculate a contract job? Speaking to someone that is hiring a producer from Aug-May. Not sure how I calculate my rate for such a long period of time??

How much can I get after switch in L2 Production / Application Support Engineer with 5 YoE?
CCTC: 8.5 lpa

Skills: Mysql, Linux, Incident management, log analysis, SPOC for major clients, Excellent Comms.

Trying to get ahead of my caseload feels like trying to climb a hill made of loosely-packed pebbles. No matter how much I scrabble, I’m sliding closer and closer to the bottom.

How do you get caught up (or even ahead) when you’re always behind? Assume that all things that can be offloaded have been offloaded. I cannot take one more all nighter trying to get a motion drafted two days before the deadline because I couldn’t get to it earlier.

Dear Clients,

Stop read-receipting me.

Sincerely,
Annoyed

10+ years experience but applying to a role with maybe 7 years relevant experience in related field as a PMM. Any suggestions on how to figure out your level and provide compensation expectations to the recruiter? I am in the mt view, CA area and can go into office if that info helps too.

wondering if any consultants here have switched to IB? And if so, what’s the process for doing so!

Interviewing a a FAANG company:

What is your total expected compensation (include base, bonus, equity)?

Any recommendations on how to answer? Odd that it came before the phone screen - very caught off guard.

Does Slalom offer fertility coverage? (E.g. IVF)

Any handsome guys in LA? I’m so lonely

Hi everyone,
So I had my NIPT and NT scans last week and I’ve been getting pieces of the results back from my doctor in the patient portal. All seems okay but I’m a bit confused. Does anyone know if FirstScreen is the same thing as NIPT? I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.

Hello I have given Last round of knowledge management associate profile. When can we expect the results ?
Does ZS send rejection mail also ?

Hello all, anyone know people who are seeking Azure, AWS, or web design professionals? Always looking to help people in these areas. Thanks in advance ;)

Two months ago applied for a "dream role" at a "dream company" (not an agency). I am qualified for the role & they are looking for ppl with agency experience. a few days after applying a recruiter

Are there any folks out there who moved from Europe (as in Amsterdam) to the States? And if yes: to where? Thinking about moving towards the big adventure.

Branding people - how do ya'll feel about the new startup "Bodega" and its name? It's been all over the internet today.

What's the best website that lists out current agency client rosters? (I've seen this before on FB but can't find the thread. FB - please add search functionality!!)

What happens if your company wins an award for your work after you've left?

What are the steps to becoming a marketing manager on the client side?

What's the most elegant way to handle someone your level subtly insulting you in front of team?

So, I work in an agency, but recently someone reached out to me for freelance writing work. I guess it'll be long form ad copy, as they're asking me for a rate per word...
I have no idea what's standard here

As bad as my job may be, someone out there has to write an Effie entry for Weathertech

Future 'Havas Health & You'ers (yes I know terrible name)... what's the verdict. Are they moving the 200 Hudson folks to 200 Madison?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Can we really just not with April Fools ads? So cringe inducing, so bandwagon-y, so god damn corny & depressingly expected...🤢

What are your favorite millennial traits?

Okay let's say I got a job in the marketing department at Netflix. Would it be a plus to have a company like them on my resume, or make it harder to get back into an agency later on?

Can you we have centennial week again next week? Just sayin it would be dopeAF

What was your most amazing day in advertising?

Has anyone received a job offer after being initially ghosted by recruiter? How long did you not hear from them? Feeling down after not hearing anything for 2 weeks after a round of seemingly promising interviews.

Can I start season 4 of Halt & Catch Fire without watching seasons 1,2, 3? (Heard this is the only great season)

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.
