Hi Fishes
Is being a Salesforce developer a desired skill in the IT market ? (Present and 10years from now)

Please tell me as i am deciding to learn b/w Salesforce development and Full Stack Development.

Yoe : 1.3
Current tech stack : SQL, INFORMATICA, Service Now

May not be the correct bowl, but: how much do chief of staff positions at Wayfair in Boston pay? I’ve always been curious what this position entails too

Anyone looking for a designer with illustration and CPG experience? I’m looking for my next gig! Would love to use my illustration and branding chops. (And CPG would be awesome but not totally necessary!)

What is project specific BGC in TCS?

What’s generally considered “market” for a property manager’s termination fee?

Have you ever heard of an Associate Account Supervisor? Is that a role/position that exists anywhere? Is it just above Senior Account Executive? What would the responsibilities entail?

What is a decent annual billable requirement? Also, billing tips are appreciated. For some reason I am really struggling. Am I self sabotaging?!

From 180k full time to 200k and 10 percent sweat equity in a boutique consulting firm as their cto, to kickstart their AWS practice .. any thoughts. This new company does not have any product thinking or strategy and full lifecycle cloud delivery pedigree yet ..

I want to take this moment to wish everyone a happy new year. Still on holiday vacation.

Hi all! I work in digital marketing / organic social. For those in organic social what platform do you use for scheduling posts, analytics, UGC, managing influencers etc? We currently use bizzare voice/curalate. I work for a national retail brand so we are posting 2x a day with tons of UGC and in house content. Your thoughts and opinion are appreciated with all platforms! :)

Has anyone gone from a federal gov’t employee to private industry? I’m considering making the swap for better pay, I make decent money where I’m at and I know I have job security. Just trying to see if there is anyone else that was bold enough to make the leap.

Hi Anyone from US Tax . I recently got an associate 2 offer and they have mentioned phone allowance , mon le connection allowance and bus subsidy, what are these. ?

I'm being interviewed for Senior Analyst in hsbc. Can anyone help me with the tax saving options available with HSBC? Like self education, communication, meal vouchers etc.

⚡️NEW IDEA⚡️
Let's start a thread to help each other get out of toxic cultures?

Out of the 50 companies we have represented here in this bowl, how many are treating their people well?

In the original thread, Cisco was the only one that seemed to be doing right by people. Who else here would vouch for their company?

I know this industry has a high turnover rate.... but is leaving a job after 6 months too soon?

O&M Creative: more shuffling still to come? And by shuffling, I mean layoffs too.

I hate that I feel sad I’ve never had my work enter for awards. My feed is flooded with everyone’s success. Should this define me? Why do I care so much when there are bigger problems in the world?

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

Why do some art directors only really start looking at stuff at the 11th hour? Thus forcing people to stay late on the Friday of a 3 day weekend.

If I applied to a company and sent a message to the recruiter on LinkedIn, but they haven’t accepted my connection request or responded to my message, should I follow up with an email a week later? Trying to find the line between enthusiastic and being a weirdo.

I think another offer might be coming soon but I really want a shot at this job.

What agency is doing the new Twizzler ads?

Does anyone feel weird in the DEI space for all the identity politics of representation (which I understand progress is progress!) but it’s still within the system of capitalism because this is still... advertising? - coming from a BIPOC

I just got called about a job on Thursday, showing interest. They’re already back in the office so the job would require me to be. Said they’re classified as an essential business because most of their advertising is for healthcare. Is this a hard red flag? Really Seems like it.

Don’t feel like working today. Can you all help me with some headlines or TVC ideas? The brief is to sell athletic performace underwear to the elderly. Massive budget. Prime time TV and iconic OOH. Open to +1 ideas as well.

Friday morning hangovers in the office - who's with me? (but not so loud pls)

Full time creatives who freelance: how do you get these freelance opportunities?

Currently working full time and have no intention of going fully freelance any time soon, but would love to know the best places/sites to look for these freelance opportunities that allow you to do your full-time responsibilities on top of some freelance work.

What’s your creative side-project?

Which do you prefer?

“Give me a deadline and I’ll get the work done”
or

“when I get this done I’ll let you know and we can figure out when the client will see it.”

Has anyone received a job offer after being initially ghosted by recruiter? How long did you not hear from them? Feeling down after not hearing anything for 2 weeks after a round of seemingly promising interviews.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Where are all the proper ACDs at? Either it's senior/mid creatives who have been promoted too early or ACDs who did the job for a year and are now freelancing as creative directors.

Serious question - which one lasts longer: real Donald Trump or Marcel?

Do you guys use stock music sites for clients with no budget? How do you sway them to use original tracks, even for social?

YunoJuno. Any jr/mid creatives use it? Good experiences? Worth it?
