@sh1 dunno if that means you're a director but I've found in this industry it's hard to get promoted inside 2-2.5 years at one place, whereas I've gotten 4 promotions in 5 years and I'm making 2.5x what I was making then

I personally prefer to see candidates who were promoted by people who know their work (aka don’t jump to a new place for your first promotion).

Hi everyone

Is it okay to try for more offers in the notice period? I am feeling like why I am doing this but at the same time want to best offers.

And also thinking how should I convey if I didn't join the company even after negotiating and asking for a counter offer based on another offer.

Please advise and suggest.

Thanks

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?
