I have been in advertising for over 6 years, pretty much since right around COVID. I'm pretty burned out. More and more layoffs. So much more work. I have a few interviews in-house this week and I'm nervous to go back in house. I remember the office politics, the shittier benefits (I have unlimited PTO right now), and how it stalled my career originally. But maybe my first in house job was just a fluke?? I'm so nervous and just need perspective

I can tell you it depends on which brand you are interviewing and interested for. They usually pay more than agencies and have better benefits, in some cases, stock options, etc. In terms of work load I find the pace a way slower than agencies. Since you are interviewing you really have a chance to investigate those key factors. Good luck.

uplifting

thank you!

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations. For my valiant efforts I was laid off (despite being a protected whistleblower) and my reports were buried. Everything I did was in line with my responsibilities. I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.

Hi everyone,
Past the first meet and greet-interview, now scheduled for the next one- any idea what to expect considering I am transitioning from a clinical focus role to a non clinical focus role as an Business Analyst.Any feedback will be highly appreciated.
With thanks!

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
