Hi there! What’s the salary for a Sr. Social Strategist at Ogilvy in Chicago?

Junior here. How common is it to be nudged off a brief when you can't get ideas through internally? My partner and I are often put on the same briefs as more experienced (sometimes senior) teams. As a result, their work tends to make it through to the client presentation while most of ours dies somewhere along the way from CD to CCO. Is this worth worrying over?

Third yet at a firm in a major market (not NYC). Pay is slightly below market and bonuses are not market either. What is the going rate for a holiday gift for a secretary that I was assigned to 2 months ago but has done some work for me through the year and also a paralegal that I have worked with all year?

Does anyone have experience working for or using Sylvan Learning Centers?

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working as a manual test engineer. I want to learn selenium and plan my career in Microsoft.

My question is will Microsoft conduct interview for testing profiles? If it is how can we get to know the openings.

I know the official policy is 3 days in the office. I’d there a way negotiate to negotiate that to let’s say 2 days in the office during hiring?

Interviewed for 2 jobs I am highly interested in. One offered the job already, but the other one hasn’t made a decision yet but should this week. I have until tomorrow to accept the offer but would like to work for the other company if the compensation package is better. Any advice? I don’t want to accept and then have to cancel, but there’s no guarantee the other job will hire me either. 😩

We have a opening for someone 7-8 years of experience in finance reporting domain JPMorgan Chase . Person should be good in advanced excel powerpoint. Alteryx or tableau exp would be added advantage. Dm if you / any your acquaintance is interested

Any recommendations for men’s workout/athletic shirts (<$75)? Looking to finally upgrade from basic cotton/blend tees.

For reference, I’ve tried a few Rhone shirts and they are fine, but looking for something made of thinner material.

How much time does it take for Mastercard to release offer letter, I had my salary discussion 5days back.

What’s up everyone!! How have y’all’s agencies been doing in COVID? Do you find your businesses have changed product mixes in the last year?

Does anybody else get that anxious feeling in their chest when their workload starts to pile up? When my to-do list fills up and the timelines start to get tight I really start to seize up and I think this is how I’m going to have a heart attack in my 20s.

My company hosts happy hours but I don't drink. Is it rude to just skip them?

Advice on managing up / enduring toxic deal teams? I’m at the point where my stomach drops any time I see something come in from certain people. Everything is behind, client is unhappy, I’m exhausted and simultaneously being micromanaged without guidance on big-picture/substantive issues. I keep trying to tell myself at least this is consulting and the project will be over... eventually...

has anybody given short notice when leaving a job? one week instead of two? how did you approach it? i don’t know why i feel so nervous.

I wish I could tell my lead how much i like him.

PS: He's engaged.

My family wants to set up eCommerce transactions on their existing website (jewelry). I'm not an ecomm expert. 🐠s with this expertise, can you provide tips or tools to look into for a fellow 🐟?

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.

Manager texted me at ~10pm asking for a non-critical update. I chose not to respond (until morning) because I don't want to allow a bad habit to form. Thoughts?

The bond yield curve just inverted. If you don’t have to make any major purchases for the next year, that’s probably a good thing

It's rare to find something that is designed BY people... yet is also FOR people. 👌 That's the Marcel way.

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

Omar from the wire in that W + K spot for the Atlantic. Well done 👏🏽

Calling all managers with junior, intern and mid teams: Who is taking (or is being given) the time to train their juniors on the necessary hard and soft skills? If not, what’s stopping you from providing that support?

Hypothetically, what might happen, if Strat said to fishbowl they needed a virtual hug? Other than CD potentially saying something snarky and mean ...hypothetically only.

Next time I have a meeting my Senior Manager, I may just snap and tell him that instead of constant nitpicking and giving hurtful, blunt feedback, how about acknowledging sometimes for a change?

I have an idea that I think could change the shape and makeup of the industry, and reduce discrimination in the hiring process.

I need to find developers however. Any idea where to look. Self funded

Working with another agency on a project and think I'd rather work there. Protocol for reaching out to someone to pick their brain? Email? LinkedIn message?
