How's everyone doing in their March Madness pools? Our agency is doing a Men's and Women's bracket and I've actually got a shot at both!

Do you count your car as part of your NW on Mint/other trackers?

How do you guys work around a 3 month notice period?

Will I burn bridges if I don't do a full two weeks notice?

For example if I put in my 2 weeks on a Wednesday, will I burn bridges if my last day is the following Friday?

I personally think that's more than enough time especially since it's 7 business days (instead of 10), but would love to hear thoughts

Being a male and Asian really sucks.

Hi all,

My status on TCS ibegin portal changed to Evaluated on Friday 22nd October. Any idea by when I’ll be receiving my offer letter? TIA.

Hi folks, I'm a new joinee in tcs. I have been allocated to a project in tcs a month ago and still my on boarding at client side is not completed. All they say is it is stuck at client side and we'll update you. But its been more than a month. What should do in this case? Should i speak with HR or my department SPOC? Please suggest.

My ethnicity makes me a minority but I would never join a minority affinity/business resource group. I think it creates separation which can lead to an “us versus them” mentality - a step backwards. Aren’t we supposed to respect or work towards respecting each other without the need to form institutions to make things “official”? I’d like to hear some thoughts from people who disagree and if they are in these groups or not

Is an Apple Watch the fitness watch for iPhone users? Have also been considering some of the Garmin vivid series. Priority is tracking various workouts, calories, HR, etc.

Please drop a link to your go-to workout playlist (Spotify links would be great)! I have a great one I use for yoga, but I’m getting tired of the one I’ve added to over the years for cardio/HIIT.

I feel so sleepy between a full time job and studies. How do you cope with this schedule.. 🤓

How much should a commercial real estate analyst make?

What do you estimate to be your personal functional inflation experienced over the last year?

I know the fed says 8.6%, but that number is averaged over many products normal people don’t frequently interact with.

I’d rough estimate something closer to 25% cost of living inflation over the last year for myself.

Does anyone have any side gigs or know of any gig types for project managers? Projects themselves need too much attention to manage on the side of our already busy days.

Biden adopting progressive policies would not be possible without giving thanks to every progressive politician who has been scrutinized and vilified. Thank you Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ed Markey, Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Presley, Pramilia Jayapal, Ro Khanna, Raul Grijavla and the new class including Cori Bush ❤️ 🌹 🇺🇸

Is anyone else finding ubereats, DoorDash, etc to be less reliable in recent months? I’ve had several deliveries go missing or arrive hours later than expected.

What's the best website that lists out current agency client rosters? (I've seen this before on FB but can't find the thread. FB - please add search functionality!!)

Having the clients love an idea you had to fight to present is a bittersweet win- you feel validated, but also wish your team backed you from the start...anyone else experience this?

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.

Pros and cons of working on an auto brand?

May be a stupid q but can anyone give me insight into the structure of digitas? I see all these copywriting and creative roles and media planner roles. Are their strategists? Planning and creative....

Are there any LA brands/agencies who would consider a candidate that’s not in LA... aka work from home (same time zone though)? 🤔

It took the horrific and completely inexcusable death of George Floyd to move the racism issue to the forefront. And while it’s a crime of a much lesser degree, with different circumstances, what’s it going to take to get ageism properly addressed? Intelligent thoughts/debate requested only please.

Are there any solid recruiters in SF?

Our industry needs to change the way it does recruiting. We make it impossible for people to apply directly to agencies. Relying on employee referrals gets good "culture fits" at the cost of diversity

Favorite free item in your office ?

How much of your job is actually solving a business problem with creativity, and how much of it is just providing corporate self care to wealthy clients who hate you?

Too late in life to start a cult? Getting kind of old for advertising.

Two months ago applied for a "dream role" at a "dream company" (not an agency). I am qualified for the role & they are looking for ppl with agency experience. a few days after applying a recruiter

Time to hire—I've seen dozens of fledgling lists/databases of available creative talent & diverse talent. Which ones are people actually using?

What does your (romantic) partner do? Is there a big income disparity between the two of you?

How did your agency handle layoffs? All-agency meeting before they started? After they ended? Both?

Kinda sorta trying to predict if I’m losing my job tomorrow.

Brands closing for climate change? Wouldn’t that lost income be more effective/useful if they donated it to clean energy alternatives instead? Do a spot about it to promote it & it’s content. Win. Win

Weekend chatter. What movie makes you cry every time you watch it? And what scene? I'll start: perks of being a wall flower when he calls his sister when she's at the party
