How does everyone showcase pieces they wrote for a brand or as a ghostwriter that they technically don't own? I'm assuming I can't put these pieces on my website?

How does a sole engineer at a company go about getting management to actually care how production machines run? I’m the only mechanical engineer at my company dealing with a half dozen cranky production managers who think that I can “work my magic” on a machine. It’s not magic, just ignorance about the machine actually works. How to I get a manager to stop caring about the end product long enough for me to actually teach them about their own machine?

My manager continues to ask me to help other teams and do work on other billable projects. I’m sick of it .. and I’m going to explicitly say that no I can’t do it because my hours are taken by the existing project we are doing. Is this appropriate?

I can't believe they still haven't caught the person who planted pipe bombs during the 1/6 attacks.

Hi All,

Is it okay to join Mastercard Project from third party payroll?

I cleared technical round and during final call with HR, my salary expectations were higher as per HR.

My current CTC is 9lpa, skill-IAM and Java, YOE-3. I asked for 14lpa, best they could give was 11lpa. I know I asked a lot.

She didn't care to negotiate and cut my call and now they put my candidature on hold. Can I expect call back? Or i can consider myself rejected?

I'm really having a difficult time understanding how engineering is supposed to be really competitive, most of the projects I've worked on were in groups and there wasn't usually a clear "leader," we were just on a team

Does anyone have details of the different consultant levels/years exp/comp for Capgemini? Yes Glassdoor has company details but the consultant levels don’t make sense on there...

What do you think is the best site to make your book on as a copywriter?

POV: you're an AD* looking for a copy (me) to build our portfolio together and work in... London?

DM:
1) if your seniority is mid/senior or you won an award (Lions, D&AD, One Show..)
2) 3 fav Cannes Lions 2022 campaigns*
3) 3 creatives you love
We create 3 campaigns before XMas and maybe in 2023 we'll start dream big!
Let's make 3 our magic number

* I ask just because if your work is focused on editorial design, that is a different field. I wish you like strategic thinking. Thank you, bye!

Can anyone provide feedback on my portfolio?

Hi there—have an interview this Friday and it’s been a while since I’ve had one in person. What’s standard these days? Is it expected to have a trimmed down deck with your work or is it okay to walk through your site? Thanks in advance!

Hi! Any art directors or creative directors open to giving some feedback via DM on my portfolio? I have mostly in-house experience, and could use guidance on what I might do to get in with agency work and more branding.

Anyone have experience setting up more in-depth analytics for portfolio websites? Any ways to get more information about who is looking at my book? I'm on squarespace. Cheers!

As a liberal arts student, I’ve been piecing together how to create a killer portfolio but am at a point where I need some personal feedback. Would anyone be willing to look my portfolio over and provide advice on how to improve it? Thank you!

Just finished Train Dreams by Denis Johnson. Superb. Gonna start Tree of Smoke next.

Can you put spec work in your book?

Hey would anybody mind looking at book to tell me why I’m unhirable so I can further justify quitting? Please DM me.

I see this question about how to display side projects often, so putting this out there for anyone who might find it useful:

There’s no such thing as side projects, in my eyes. Every project is an opportunity to display your creativity, and the few you’re most proud of make it to your book. Generally, the consensus these days is that we want our advertising to not look/feel like advertising. So, why should you be concerned to separate what was and wasn’t “advertising?”
