As long as creatives keep churning out tactics that require media coverage in order to justify the investment and fill out the award submission, I think PR has a home here.

C1 - if you're still distinguishing between disciplines you're behind the times. WTF is advertising anymore? It's all brand comms...ask any CMO who is dealing with a product launch or brand crisis and they'll say the functions are closer than ever.

OP - it all depends, but suggest sticking agency side for at least 4-5 years to sharpen your skills across brands and industries. I've seen people jump client-side too early and lose their spark.

I guess C1’s response is the reason why PR agencies are still asked by clients to “PR this” a campaign that never considered the PR function to begin with 🤷🏻‍♂️

MD1, ok thanks Dad

Pardon me for assuming a Mom to be a little more intuitive

Thanks MD1, if it helps - I’m 3 years agency side, already specialising in an industry I’m passionate about and seconded to a client who might hire me.

My response is something you’re reading too much into.

Who ultimately decides the compensation offered to a candidate when being hired? Recruiter only? Hiring manager? Trying to figure out what aspects of the offer are owned by each person involved in the recruiting process (salary, sign-on bonus, level, etc).

Hi guys, i got good comments in my review and feedback was also the same during regular connects in last cycle. But even after being a lateral hire and already completing 2 cycles at ZS, my ratings are barely halfway, whenever i ask about feedback from seniors i always get answers like you are already doing good. Feeling pretty bad about the ratings and seeing people of my tenure getting far better hikes. How do i take this up with my AC without sounding rude?

2. TCS - 18 lpa (16.2 fix + 1.8 var)
3. UBS - 18 lpa fix (No var).. not considered due to support proj

I asked 22 fixed to Virtusa but they gave 20 without seeing my offers, did I make good choice overall?

Ok so I understand the whole concept of blockchain and crypto. What I’m confused on is how to interpret things and where to do my investing. i.e. I’ve seen multiple posts Discord about investing in KDA, so looked it up, it’s very difficult to invest in if in US. The only app I found was KuCoin. 2nd i.e. is the whole Luna thing, ppl say invest in the next 2.0 or wait for some new symbol. I’m so confused on this part. I have a business degree, lol why does this make me feel so dumb?
