I do like the occasional appearance of really great old ads that are posted on LinkedIn now and then, but don’t you the ‘oh brilliant advertising how I miss you’ guy is stretching it a bit lately?

Off Topic:

Partners, till what age can an SM realistically hope to be considered for Partner promotion?

Is PwC AC bangalore giving permanent work from home and is it being mentioned in the offer letter ? HR verbally saying it's permanent wfh is not really a confirmation.

What is the saving potential for a H1B on-site offer with ctc around 75k USD per annum

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA

Welcome to the 30s and 40s singles bowl! Here’s to hoping the posts in this bowl are a bit more mature. Relying on the honor system here, try not to lie about your age.

I went to the lease this last weekend. Not one drop of alcohol was had. That was the closest I’ve come to caving. 4 wheelers, killing dinner with big guns, doing manly things in God’s country. Beer is an absolute necessity during these events. Anyhow, I didn’t drink. Proud of myself. Monumental moment for me.

Being promoted to Director of Sales Development at my current company. Based in Toronto.

My base is being bumped from 110 to 125, and OTE for another 50 up from 35 CAD.

I personally know a few SDR managers that make more. Am I being lowballed? I don’t want to come off as sounding ungrateful for the promotion.

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

Future 'Havas Health & You'ers (yes I know terrible name)... what's the verdict. Are they moving the 200 Hudson folks to 200 Madison?

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

Like this post if you want to TP one of Sir Martin's houses with me.

I feel like I am not good at what I do... but don’t see myself doing anything else.

Love the role and opportunity, but anyone ever turn down a job offer because their prospective office looked like crap? Think 1980's old school office.

I'm so sick of this agency 🙄

Next time I have a meeting my Senior Manager, I may just snap and tell him that instead of constant nitpicking and giving hurtful, blunt feedback, how about acknowledging sometimes for a change?

Remember The Woo? Yeah, me neither. Well, they cut everyone’s pay (except mgmt of course) by 1/4 to get the small biz gov loan, and used it to hire a $500k/yr mgmt head. Agency still working barebones

What’s the worst advice you’ve ever gotten in this business?

Mine, as an account person: “You should take more credit for the creative that’s presented.”

Anybody have success requesting to go from 100% on one account to 50/50 or at least floating around a bit more? Any tips welcome 🙏

Facebook shutting down Oculus Story Studio... VR dead?

Thoughts on GALE? Just been offered a job there for paid social and wondering how their culture is? Thanks

Anyone still being asked to come into the office for pitches?

Vayner? Anomaly? Ogilvy? Which one to jump to? Account Mgtm!

What about Italy? Anyone working there?

Giphy said it's delivering 1 billion giphs a day. Does Giphy support advertising?

So I was laid off. Is it okay to talk about it at my next job interview? Feels like everyone knows anyway.
