How important is integrity in comparison to making someone else “happy”? Do you find yourself compromising your values or your quality standards/expertise to appease other people?

Would the answer to this as well. I’m often put in situations by Creative and Account that leave two choices: Do something dishonest that could hurt the client and the agency or go-along-to get-along. It happens often and both options feel bad and lead to potential disasters. But I keep finding them coming up more and more.
Before anyone says HR or leadership: stop. HR works for leadership and its Creative and Account leadership creating these situations. The only options are leaving or learning some psychological tools or methods to solve this.

I studied computer science in school but I didn’t do well due to life coming in the way. I got poor grades but ultimately finished my degree without any internship experience.

After three months of job search, I started for 45K at a construction company as a Jr App Support. After a year I shifted in to QA for 65k and now after a year of QA, I have finally gotten a position as a software engineer for 78K base.

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!

Hang in there, hard work pays off.

The only women at my agency who get praise and recognition in all-staff emails are less than 5 years into their career or executive assistants.

So about 5 years ago I met this guy at a networking event in my current city. We both discovered we had lived in NYC at the same time. He’s super cute, so kind of formed a crush on him. At the time we helped each other with job leads, etc. because we were both unemployed off and on. I invited him to industry events. Then our communication fell off around 2017 when we both found steady work. Also it seemed I was reaching out more than him, so I started reaching out less and stopped the invites.

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager. I was just promoted as an account director when I quit my job and moved to the U.K and now having so much trouble finding a job as an AD. My last interview feedback was that they really liked me but felt like I was lacking new bizz skills and that the organic business growth opportunities I found and jumped on were “luck aka right place at the right” moment kinda thing?
