How much do you actually interact with your manager? I definitely do chat with them nearly as much as I thought I would. I keep them in the loop on wins but we don’t have any sort of regular check in set up.

Bi-weekly 1:1s with my direct supervisor. They are scheduled for 30 mins but rarely last that long.

That’s what I expected! But not my reality right now.

We interact, in the sense of having a conversation, frequently, almost always daily. But most of the conversations are pretty cursory. We'll have substantial sessions every other week, and those will usually comprise discussion of particular situations. But day to day we talk, but it's almost like we don't really need to.

Got it. Appreciate the feedback! We definitely don’t speak every day lol

We are in kind of an odd spot right now, a lot of leadership changes and not really meeting consistently with anyone anymore. We have sporadic team meetings and 1:1’s. That being said though, they are at least productive and not just being held for the sake of it.

That’s good! Quality > quantity

With my usual boss, I check in with her weekly, with one-off chats here and there if I need to escalate something. She’s on maternity leave right now, so I report directly into our CCO, who’s a fantastic resource that I don’t want to bother all the time, so we check in every other week or so.

My advice is to determine what you want from your TBs and build a framework—with my usual boss, I try to work through more day-to-day client relationship opportunities, issues, etc. along with my own shorter term goals. With the CCO, I’m trying to learn more about longer term strategic account building and agency initiatives, and only sporadically bring up client issues if I truly need to escalate them.

They’re both really great! They made me truly believe that you don’t quit jobs, you quit bosses—my agency’s transparently a bit of a mess, but the two of them are the reasons I’ve stayed. 😊

Hello! I’m based in NYC and looking for my next role. I work in the digital strategy/brand strategy space. I have experience across multiple industries (tech/telecom/Pharma (dermatology)/beauty and skin care and I am looking for a Director or VP role (my last job was a VP). I would like to keep my base of at least $180k (is this reasonable if I look for Director positions too?) Would love to land something soon before we hit the holiday season. Do you think what I am looking for is reasonable?

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?

I got a promotion a year and 3 months ago, and got a pay raise 5 months ago. Could I still ask for a promotion to SAE if I have been supporting a team more as one? Promotions are hard to stab with.

I want to be more fluent and speak eloquently about it so that I am well rounded in my role.
My current position doesn't allow for any hands on experience. Any advice would be appreciated in terms of how to gain the experience or course recommendations.

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started.

They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.
