i know WFH is a hot issue around here, but would anyone actually leave their job if forced back into an in office every day model, or what you just suck it up and reminisce about the old days? I honestly feel like I would make a move but I'm not sure.

For anyone working with the Ottawa office, how is the environment there

What groups are best at tax valuations (e.g. IP and other asset valuations)?

Is it usually done by tax service lines or advisory service lines?

The older I get and the more I think about raising my own children, I keep thinking how can parents frame religious duties like fasting as something to look forward to. I think volunteering as a family can help install the value of giving back and zakaat. How can one make Ramadan and Eid something to look forward to when holidays like Christmas seem to be purely joyous occasion that one doesn’t have to put in work for like fasting for Ramadan?

Anyone else exhausted from the last few weeks?

Looking for a dog friendly 2BD or 2BD+Den apt/condo/rental in the Reston/Tysons/Arlington corridor with min 1300 sq ft. For context, we’re moving to the area from a house out of state and need a bit of extra space to store furniture/boxes while we house hunt.

U.S freelancers:

I was assigned a project for a big brand a year ago through a recruitment agency, the brand now contacting me for another project & asking for a quote. What’s the common practice here?

I did sign a contract with the agency and in the freelance handbook it states out that within certain period of time any future projects from the same client needs to go through with the agency. But I don’t want them to take half of my pay check. Help!

The fact that Biden leads by 10 points nationally shows this country still has a bit of common sense. The fact the election is still a competitive race and may swing both ways shows how crazily undemocratic the electoral system is. Time to get rid of it, no reason to exist

I think we have tried our best to explain to hopeful “Magas” nothing is changing and trump just needs their money. They hate logic, facts and truth. Can we please stop wasting our energy. 😅

I am curious how other inclusion teachers are being utilized when the school is doing remote learning. I find that I am sitting in the zoom class and have very little opportunity to contribute.

What is the HRA policy in Accenture? I got to know that i can't claim HRa if my base location is city A and living in a rental accommodation in City B?
Is that true?

Crossmedia, any opinions?

So… if twitter disappears… how many social creatives teams jobs are disappearing as well? Will agencies lay folks off over this?

Anyone else always snacking at their desk? I have to have chocolate everyday or I get a headache, but I think it's making me fat. Especially since I binge on it. >=/

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?

Getting pushed to do account work as a PM is making me want to scream. And the bullshit let's align on PM expectations meetings when I'm doing my job is driving me up the wall. I'm doing my job....YOU aren't.

Do all accounts people have a lot of anxiety/nervous energy?

Serious question: why work in advertising if you’re not a creative? I know plenty of smart account people, strategists, data analysts etc. who would almost certainly make more money and enjoy more autonomy in a different field, or at least in-house. What’s the allure if you don’t represent the product?

Now I’m curious.. BEST clients you’ve ever worked with? I’ll start - Disney, Fox theatrical.

How many times a week do you ask yourself why you’re so terrible at advertising and why is it 1 billion?

Apparently every agency sucks according to every "What do you think of Agency X" thread on here. I don't even know why people ask anymore. 😜

Curious how other people’s brains work.
When you get an activation brief, what’s your process for coming up with a solid idea?

Look for cultural moments that you can adapt? Look through award show books? Scroll YouTube videos until 3am?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.

Dogs in offices are cool, but who's offering some comfy siesta benefits? 😴💤

Any advice for your LAST day in office?

Overheard: *dials frantically* "Hi. The holiday party was moved the the 7th so we're gonna need to move that Axe Throwing event. Yeah. Bye. "

I just got into reading books, any suggestions to start with? Which could help to increase media/marketing knowledge.
