I hate my current project... It's turned into a dead end role months from completion. My RP is good friends with the Director, and my group is relatively small. I feel pretty trapped 😔

That's probably because it sounds a lot like you ARE trapped.

It happens unfortunately. You just have to try and make it as small a part of your day as you can and spend the rest of the time on things that interest you or you want to practice / learn about

I feel you, mine has long hours and I'm thinking what did I get myself into. Hang in there

Thank you for the advice

Hi folks, I have an offer from one of the well known startups for performance marketing role with almost 50% hike should I consider it or not. My details include 3.5 years of experience in paid media role, currently working as a Sr Executive for Paid Search also my current package is 6.6 Lpa. One of the major reasons for switch is because the current work is corely focused on execution based tasks and very less on strategy and optimisations. #paidmedia#ppc @groupm @dentsu @publicis @accenture

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
