You have to ask Marcel, but rumor has it Arthur programmed the response as No by default. Was there 2.5 years and only saw very few people get promoted. During staff planning, overheard a Group Director say they only promote to reduce flight risk. That about sums it up.

You have to have a conscientious manager who focuses on mentor ship to see consistent raises/promotion as that makes them feel good. Otherwise loyalty does not do much in agency life. Better to jump around early on. Get more experience quickly and build your network. Focus on leaps when job switching than relying on promotion. Unless you can get something in writing like complete x project to get y, better to get the title you want than hope for a promotion within 2 years — especially in a candidate market like it is right now.

for entry level folks, pretty damn hard at digitas. since everything gets approved by "Paris" there's no real visibility. 2 years seems the standard time you have to wait but I've seen longer. I'm not sure what the deal is for higher up the ladder

It’s just math. Organic and new client wins generate revenue. Revenue funds promotions. Job title only promotions serves no one well.

I’m thinking of buying a designer belt and have been eyeing this one from Dior. Is it a waste to spend $660+tax on a plain black belt w just the logo? I also considered Gucci but think it’s too everywhere. Also thinking Hermes but may need to justify myself for the price hike. I’m 30F and want to get something that is versatile (dress up / casual) and long lasting in terms of style. Appreciate any recs!

Has anyone here bought new build townhouse before? I'm about to close in 2 weeks and the contract states that nothing can delay or stop the closing even if something needs repair. If something needs repair, they will fix it while we're living there. And we have warranty for everything for a year. So my question is, should I just save money and have an house inspector come until 3 months before the year is up?
