Not worked there but know people who do. Apparently if you don't mind not seeing your family it's great.

Yeah, if you worked here 5 years ago that’d be the case. Most people are out by 6-6:30. When projects are hot, people stay later but that’s the case at any place.

The strategy department is leaner these days, so be prepared for that.

Strat is still prioritized and gets to work on some great and interesting types of work. However, as my colleague said, it’s leaner at the moment but looking to fill positions. So that’s a bonus? 🤷‍♂️

It's leaner, but still a big department of about 30 brand strategists and another 20 comms and data strategists. We won Effie Agency of the Year, and we've been Effie Independent Agency of the Year three years in a row.

In terms of resumes, is it ok to list only relevant work- even if it appears there is a gap? I would like to shift my resume and, working in entertainment, you have a lot of “day jobs” too- some of them, very meaningful day jobs but not representative of my goals and complete skillset.

I'm a 35 year old Officer in Indian Navy with 14+ years of experience(good job security). I'm planning to switch to corporate world due to mundane job profile. I've developed many niche software for Navy and am good with Python, Java, JSP, SQL. For perspective - TCS quoted 20 cr for similar s/w that I've singularly designed & developed. Plz help me make a decision-
Quit Navy and lookout for a job right away or Stay in the current role for another 7 yrs(will be 42 by then) for pension eligibility

Getting in my 8th month and starting to feel sore in my groin area. I read it’s because the baby is adding pressure down there. Do you know if it’s bad to do inner thigh exercises?
