I asked in the general forum but figured I’d reach to you ladies too - have any of you negotiated to have your new agency cover part or all of the closing costs when selling your home to relocate?

You should negotiate for an overall move package

Yes, it’s done. Just negotiate total relo package and include an amount for that in total number

They are tax deductible/can go against capital gains if you have them so you might wanna go the lump sum moving expenses route and leave closing costs out of it

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

2- I've started working in advertising in 2012 (with a 2 years break) so I do have experience - But wasn't in Canada, so feels like it doesn't count.

I’m planning to move to a new city to be with my fiancé, targeting March 2021.

Even before the pandemic, I was hoping to ask to keep my job and work remotely, but now I’m worried about drawing attention to myself or rocking the boat during this tumultuous time.

How do I broach the conversation? At what point? Should I start with my direct manager (an SVP), the EVP in charge of my group, or someone else? Any advice welcome!

I feel like I’m going crazy. I’m so sad and tired and I don’t think I’m thinking right anymore. The ironic thing is I’m perceived as less competent than my male peers. They have stable accounts and teams. I float. (Or sink, I guess). Help.

Hi ladies - I am in need of some advice please!

Would you take up an offer with a higher title and salary in a new city on a so so brand or stick out your “path to promotion” at your current agency? Was told they would push for my promo to happen in 5 months. Should i bring up this offer to current employer or would that burn bridges?

Don’t think I am ready to move but the title and salary is guaranteed so don’t want to lose out on a golden opportunity ya know?

Thank you!
