I have an interview tomorrow for a creative strategist position. I’m an ACD and before that an AD so this is a departure. Anyone made this shift before? What should I know?

Be sure to review and know how to clearly articulate the strategy behind your work. If it’s Facebook, be sure to know some of the things they’ve created inside and out, and know that they always stick to their own properties without incorporating other platforms. So if you’ve got a great idea that uses twitter, YouTube and Facebook, stick to the facebook stuff. Good luck

Hi All,

I heard that wellsfargo , Hyderabad is Hiring now for many candidates for A specific project . Any one from Wellsfargo, please provide me reference to me to join the company for KYC process.

Been working at my company as a new grad for almost a year, but don’t see myself in the team that I am in (working with Salesforce) for long term. Interested in frontend dev and have been learning on my own. Manager says chase doesnt have much React opportunities. Is it possible to make a switch when I barely have experience? Are there companies that will hire by seeing that I am willing to learn and am interested in frontend even tho I don’t have much experience with it yet?

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?
