Hiring is on pause and so are promotions. This is making me anxious and impatient. Is this the case everywhere??

FAANG folks - what are Facebook/Google roles like Country Lead/Industry Lead equivalent to? Are these Director level roles? What sort of compensation can you expect in something like that role?

Are hiring trends at Google, specifically at GCP, similar to other tech companies? Should I expect slowdown near the holidays and things pick up again early next year? For context, I'm considering a non-tech role such as BD, Partnership management, S&O etc.

Anyone have any insight into Davita? Specifically the FA role? Whats it like long term, turnover rate, do you make your own hours, salary range etc? Anything would be helpful 😊

Hi, I’m currently a Clinical Site Manager for 3 separate regions making a 34k salary. I’m finishing my MHM in August and I’ve been working in an ambulatory healthcare setting since I graduated college in 2018. I’m looking for a position that pays more.

Does anyone here work for Carvana? I’ve had a recruiter reach out about a position several times but know they just went through some layoffs. Have they recovered and are they on a good track or is there still a lot of risk?

How do you stay up to date on creative openings? I try to keep as up to date on new business wins and check on LinkedIn (job posts and searching for posts about openings), the Avail List and connect with as many recruiters as possible. But as most jobs aren’t even posted, how do you stay on top of it? I’m exhausted.

Looking for a salesforce referral, highly qualified, passionate product manager seeking something new! Will DM the role(s)!

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%

Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?

Is there an appropriate way to turn down an assignment because it is non-billable? Two of the partners I work for keep asking me to write client bulletins and articles with them, which is great, but now I’m starting to worry about meeting my billable hours requirement.

Make it SOP to have a debrief session calendared directly after major meetings, can be 10 mins

I turned down Liberty and Allstate so I’m hoping I made the right choice. Curious if anyone works there can offer their opinion about what it’s like working for Progressive.

Been getting some interesting ads in Georgia. Got a letter about how Jon Ossoff is going to destroy Georgia’s economy and attacking him and his character. This was generated by David Perdue.

Ossoffs response? Bring up all the ridiculousness Perdue has done and how he’s left Georgia in a worse position. Didn’t say Ossoffs name once, just said get rid of Perdue.

Republicans go low, democrats play smart.

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?

Hey. An observation. Every post and comment on here for the past month has been negative as fuck. Yes, life is rough right now. But advertising as a paying job is hilarious and we should all take a beat to remember that.
