I have some spec ads I did with an art director a couple of years ago. I want to redo a couple of headlines but don’t have the comps and everyone loves the art direction. Can someone take a look and tell me how to not destroy them visually?

Any other industries out there on straight commission or is that just us?

How bad is it to leave an understaffed team right before fall busy for a job in a new city? Part of me doesn’t care at all b/c it’s a business decision, part feels like I’m totally screwing the team.

I need some advice from advisors who have brought other “Junior” Advisors on. What is a fair split? Currently I have passed on my smaller clients to them, as well as providing consistent leads for them to call and meet with. The individual is working to build their own book of business, but up to now doesn’t have much production. They have only been in the business for about 2 years. I also provide an office and everything that comes with that, and admin assistance. Thanks in advance!

Hi. People Manager here. I've been one for 12 years now and I encourage my team to not be "yes" people. At this time, it feels like my manager wants me and my team to be yes people for her. How do I deal with this? I've never been a yes person and I don't preach this to my reports. I don't know what to do. Help?

Small firm partner. Thoughts on exploring something personal with a professional contact wherein I/my law firm is the client?

Someone provides us services that for purposes of this post, I’ll describe as marketing. My firm pays their firm to provide us services with the aim of our law firm bringing in new clients.

Came across the owner of that business on one social dating site/app, but their profile disappeared without me taking any action. Their profile popped up on a different app/service

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant

What happens when you disclose a disability in My People Link? I'm thinking about doing it because it's affecting my performance and I need support but I want to know what to expect.

Has anyone seen any decent MQD run ideas for Delta recently? I’m about 8k MQDs from diamond. Seems the Aeromexico method is on hold until they are fully back up and running. Thanks!

How do you deal with seniors who want to talk through everything when you're better with written communication? I send follow up summary emails to confirm but they go ignored. Any other suggestions?

Does anyone have any connections or referrals for a healthcare travel recruiter company? Looking at Aya, AMN, MedTravelers but open to others!

What do you do with a class that exhibits poor behavior with anything other than quick paced, teacher led instruction? I want to dig into inquiry but they misbehave if I don’t catch them back quickly

Anyone have advice on a home fitness gym? Have a spare room 12x11 that I’m thinking of putting a power rack and rower in.

Hey TW,

Is there a HLD or LLD or both design rounds in java dev interview?

Has anyone left big 4 or other PA firms tax transaction service groups for industry (or know of anyone)? What was the role and salary bump, how are annual bonuses/raises in industry, what is a typical work week (hours) like? I don’t think I can take this always on just to stay afloat life much longer. For context I am considered a high performer, am near the top of the salary band at my level and have a great supporting network at Deloitte. It’s just not worth it to have zero personal life.

Is the CVA exam worth pursuing?

I am considering switching careers from architecture to UX design or Product Management, and am unsure about which route I want to take. Is it common for someone to switch between UX and PMing within the same company? If so is it common in both directions? Wondering if I can have a second chance at adjusting my job again later if I change my mind down the road

Things are apparently going to get better after a client will be leaving, I’ll get to work on different brands but I am feeling pretty burnt out from the agency I’m at. Will new clients help? Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.

Be honest. Why do you keep coming back to this app?

How is Wunderman Thompson ATL for a creative?

Strategies for getting a job at Wieden + Kennedy:

1. Create a competitive shop that will steal all of their clients in the future, forcing them to acquire you today.
2. Become friends with every person at the agency and have them all refer you on the same day.
3. Just win all of the awards.
4. Start showing up to their office with big ideas, and complain about HR not being able to find you in the system occasionally.

Is it bad to have student work on your portfolio when you already have been in the industry for a little while? I just think that my student work is better than my real work... mostly because of the clients that I work for.

Any Deutsch LA CDs out there who wouldn't mind perusing my portfolio? I hear you have some cw openings and I'd absolutely love to work with you and for Karen Costello. DM if so and thank you!

I have a CD that gets extremely flustered when you ask them for their opinion on a solution. For example after showing them multiple color pallets and CD not quite liking any of them (real Goldie locks moment) i suggested why not we do (fill in three colors here), the CD freezes up and gets annoyed because they don’t want to say yes or no without seeing it in front of them. Working on tight turn arounds and a cd who is too busy for meetings it proving tough with remote working. Any tips?

Rule#34 in the freelancers playbook: always double/triple dip.Protect yourself against crap day rates by getting 2/3 day rates at once. Only way to make good money freelancing.

I made an entire ad campaign against a green screen for a protective hand chalk company. Would love some feedback if you're curious.

Art Directors. How protective are you of your references and resources? I have a folder with lot’s of textures, mockups that I’ve spent time building. I even paid for some of those assets. So I always get a lot of compliments on my comps and decks. Sometimes someone ask for my files and I really don’t want to since I put so much effort on that. But I also feel bad being gatekeeper of things.

Can anyone recommend a slick way to present a website design from Indesign layouts

I’m getting sick of getting a brief and asked to create a cool new campaign with amazing designs in less than a day. My best work isn’t turned around in less than 24 hours. And for background, I have pushed back literally every time. Nothing seems to be getting better.
