How am I still waiting for permission to go to the office at my previous gig to get my desk belongings, it’s literally been more than 4 months....I miss my Wacom.

Any insight on getting MBA from mendoza as far as prospects for transitioning into a post-mba strategy consulting role? It’s ranked outside the top 15 but from research seems like it still sends plenty of grads to top consulting firms (not MBB)

If you had the choice, would you start your career in mid market or large cap PE and why?

I've only been in biglaw for a year, but have been practicing for seven years so far. I used to be a state regulator for this practice area and generally enjoy working at a private firm. A partner at a boutique firm that I'm friends with has called me every few months to check-in and see how I'm doing. During our last call he essentially offered a job after I get another year of experience in private practice. Five year track to partnership. No billable hours.

Anyone know Gartner post-MBA starting salary? GF is interviewing and they asked her for her salary expectations. (Is this weird? I would’ve thought these things are relative standard..)

Summer Fridays got extended through the Fall. So, tomorrow, my schedule is clear @ Noon! What should I do?

Hireright background check - anyone had good / bad experience with them ?

Any words of wisdom as I begin taking Femara and prep for an IUI? It’s been a year of trying and I’ve pretty much given up any sort of tracking anymore because it’s too unpredictable and disappointing.

What roles in industry (healthcare) pay as well as/better than b4 partner? (Excluding c-suite)

Hi there! I’m hiring for a Strategy & Implementation manager at GetAgent, a fast growing start up in London. A great team & manager, sustainable work (hybrid) and an opportunity to make a real impact. Please reach out if interested!

Everyone suddenly becomes a critic when they work with a 'junior' designer. cant count the amount of times I've teared up at my desk bc I feel like im not being enabled to do my job properly.

Fantasizing about calling in sick tomorrow.

Anyone else miss the show Taxi Cab Confessions?

I live in constant fear that someone is going to nominate me for the black and white photo challenge thing and I’ll have to pretend I didn’t see it.

Why does it feel like SO MANY people in the industry come from London or Australia? Been with a few agencies where there have been many from both locales. Is it just the thrill of NYC?

What’s the agency behind the Chantix Turkey commercials? Are they effective? The only one that loves them is my 6 year old. ( PS he’s not the target market)

I hate to admit it. But coming from a blue collar immigrant family, I often struggle to relate to my peers. It shouldn’t matter that my experiences, cultural references, etc are (continued in post)

Do you live above me?

If so, who taught you how to walk?

I’ve had it with the health nuts in the office. Yes, Susan, I get Diet Coke isn’t good for me but I don’t say shit when you pop Mollys or Greg chain smokes while criticizing.

Waiting for ”the call” from the new agency, to give my notice to the current one. Days go by slowly, and every unknown caller gives me the shivers. I’ve lost my motivation with the current agency.

How do you get your agency to buy more catering so there are more left overs in the kitchen? They have really been slacking at my office. No catering for 2 or 3 weeks. It's torture

My girlfriend is interviewing at Verizon’s in house agency. Thoughts?

Whenever I get an ACD or up to laugh at a comment or post on Fishbowl I feel like I’ve beaten the system.

I'm worried I went in-house too soon. It feels like I'm 27 and retired. But I'm not sure I can leave more money for less work...

There’s a memorial service for a friend’s parent in a church tomorrow. I feel really guilty, but I don’t feel comfortable being inside with a large group of people. There’s an outdoor burial after. What’s the play? Am I overthinking it?

Heard a lot about shows like Rick & Morty so I checked it out and maybe it's a satirical thing but... I don't really get it or why it's funny? Same with shows like Adventure Time and South Park...

I just don't think advertising is doing it for me anymore. 8 years of trying to prove to white men that I'm worthy of opportunities...that my ideas are worthy...that I'm worth more money...I'm over it

work for a hus & wife agency where she’s sole reason it’s successful but she’s given him (with 0 agency experience) a co-CEO role. He’s combative, distrusting & ruining culture. What do you say?

Our CSO is hated by pretty much the entire department (and most of the agency). He's considered a joke and people constantly question his decisions. How the hell did he get this job?

PMs - Please stop under estimating the work that goes into writing copy. It’s extremely rude and offensive to say things like “Can you throw in some copy” or “It’s just a few captions”. (contd)
