Howdy all, I'm a newbie here. I have recently moved to Melbourne from Sydney to be with my partner and am looking for a new gig. I'm a former journo/PR/government affairs type and am open to contract and casual roles. I'm also a freelance writer. Would love a contact in the Vic govt to explore possible media manager roles. Thanks for dropping by and best of luck to you all!

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips? I feel like being an account person is especially difficult in the COVID era since so much of what we do is manage communications, ensure the team is set up well etc. None of this feels particularly fun alone staring into the void of Zoom all day ... but the same pressure is still there. I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.

My gf just got a peloton and now she is insufferable. “Peloton” this and “peloton” that. She even said “you can’t sit with me anymore because you don’t have a peloton”. She’s out of control!

Is it possible for someone with anxiety to have a career at MBB? Anyone currently in this situation? How do you cope?

Ugh, is that time of year again! Does anyone have any advice on how to handle "friends" and family members who spout conspiracy theories to avoid getting the flu shot

Hi everyone,

All this talk about firms doing stealth layoffs has me spooked. Any BigLaw firms in Dallas doing this? I’ve noticed some surprising associates leave my firm over the past couple of months and suspect at least some of them were ice-outs…

How are you counseling clients around this? Or, are you not counseling clients on this?

Curious to hear from the bowl.

I have been in advertising roles in media and account for the past 1.5 years but I really want to make a career move to PR because that is what I studied and where my passion lies. I know the market is really tough especially here in NYC. Do you recommend I apply for Account Coordinator Roles or the next level up? I don't have formal PR agency experience but I have experience from my education and in house internships, and general agency experience from my current and past roles Thanks!

What do Account Coordinator titles mean? I work at an agency with the AAE, AE, SAE, AS, SAS, VP ladder. Would love some perspective on on alternative titles & their responsibilities.

What agencies are hiring for junior consumer roles?

Hello all, for those working in an agency. I wanted to see what your typical client workload is? I’ve been in my role for about a year but the workload has changed dramatically without hiring help.

Can you please share:

- how many support staff you have on those accounts
- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!

My team oversees internal comms and we’re in the process of signing on BananaTag.

Any fishies out there that can share what level of reporting + KPIs you’re providing leadership?

We plan to use it for exec comms and department-level leadership (HR, IT, etc.).

We’ve historically done mass communication through Outlook, so this will be our first time getting insight into staff e-mail + Teams performance.

Started at my first agency 3 mo. ago. I’m doing great work on exciting clients, but I often feel uninspired and drained. Is it growing pains or is this the wrong industry for me? How will I know?

Best place to research salaries? I’m getting a wide range. Glassdoor is “highly confident.” Should I be highly confident in their range? I’m researching a Sr. Director Corporate Communications role in a major health care org. HELP!

Does anyone know about Bevel PR? What have you heard? I am interviewing with them. Thank you.

I am in a period of growth in my role (in house and getting more exposure to top management) - im grateful for it but I also have constant anxiety during and after work hours. Does anyone who’s been in a similar position have tips for riding this wave? Hoping it’ll get easier.

Best PR firms for digital agency?

I’m mid-career and hoping to make a pivot to internal comms. I’m currently working in-house but the vast majority of my experience is at agency with very little internal comms experience. Other than finding opportunities in my current role to gain experience, what can I do to gain experience or expertise to make me desirable for an internal comms-focused role?

I made the switch to in house and omg it’s so slow. I knew it’d be a bit slower than agency but I accomplish less in a month than I used to in a day. Is this how all in house jobs are or has anyone found a faster pace in house gig?

How’s your agency handling performance reviews and goal setting this year?
