Every agency and account is different in terms of their needs. An AAE position is the most junior person on the account team, so it is the standard to do basic, administrative things. The key is to make sure you are nailing those tasks, asking smart questions and being proactive. If you can do those things and establish trust with your managers, they will give you more responsibilities.

How long since you started? If less than 2-3 months, they simply may not know you well and fully trust you yet. Perhaps milk the slow times while they last?:) Have you asked for more work? Congrats on getting another position after being laid off. You're doing fine, you have years ahead of you to be busy, no rush.

thank you!! & yes I am in my 4th month now. that’s also what I thought as well, I’m just just concerned because I have asked to be on projects and they say I can and then don’t let me assist with anything but i think I just have to keep inserting myself into the conversation.

Hi Fishes,
What is the hiring procedure in delta airlines for senior Software Engineer?

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

Hi guys, i have a current CTC of fixed 30L and I got a variable ~8L (32%). I heard that Bofa doesn't give bonus so what is the ideal one can quote the HR and should look reasonable?
PS - I heard that Bofa gives an average hike of 10% whereas in consulting I have always received hike > 20 or above.
Given this and markets I was hoping for ~50L (considering 30+8)? Any suggestions. Also they are in an urgent requirement for the role to be filled. I need suggestions on this number. Thanks in advance

Q: for FAANG recruiters, do candidates get a reject stamp after failing even at the later stages?
I advanced to the last stage at
Facebook (Meta) around a year ago but failed on my last interview, a combination of not being familiar with the process and not having chemistry with the interviewer.
A friend who is a hiring manager recently recommended me and this time without even a HR call I received a straight up thanks but no thanks email.
Does this mean I’ve been permanently black listed?

3. Just win all of the awards.
4. Start showing up to their office with big ideas, and complain about HR not being able to find you in the system occasionally.
