I love the fact that AI is taking over the “design” industry. It makes hand drawn art all that much more valuable. Artists will always be artists, but the plug and play designers will be faded out.

What personal financial knowledge do you wish you had learned in college?

I think my company that I am GC of is a sinking ship, the issue is I have too much equity in the company to jump. I’m trying to save the ship rather than jump overboard I hope it’s the right decision.

Hi All.
I am looking for Salesforce Functional BA roles in Accenture. I am currently working with Persistent Systems. Please let me know if there are any relevant openings.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

I have been working in sales/account management for 7 years. My ctc is 8 lpa. I feel I'm paid less. What should be the ideal salary considering the experience i have

Guys...how to follow up with HR without sounding desperate?

Best self-help books on the market? I've been consistently unhappy lately. Something needs to change.

So why do company merges result in mass layoffs?

Two months ago applied for a "dream role" at a "dream company" (not an agency). I am qualified for the role & they are looking for ppl with agency experience. a few days after applying a recruiter

What was your most amazing day in advertising?

Which portable standing desk converters do people have and recommend. I live in a tiny NYC apartment so use my dining table as the office during the day but need to put it away at night.

If you get an offer a few days before you have a final interview (or while you're waiting to hear back), is it okay to ask for some time? Or do they expect you to answer right there?

i'm in the final round for 2 different media positions in 2 completely different places (NYC and NC) and things are moving really quickly for both. the NYC job is my dream one but they're both offering $40k so i'm conflicted. any advice would be helpful lol

Manager texted me at ~10pm asking for a non-critical update. I chose not to respond (until morning) because I don't want to allow a bad habit to form. Thoughts?

In your opinion, what advertising/branding/experiential agencies should someone targeting greater San Diego and Los Angeles go after? (Yes, it is very expensive to live in California)

Thanks to the robots, there’s just not a lot left to do.

So why do we still have to spend all our waking time playing office?

How did your agency handle layoffs? All-agency meeting before they started? After they ended? Both?

Kinda sorta trying to predict if I’m losing my job tomorrow.

How much does it cost the agency for a cannes entry?

So, I work in an agency, but recently someone reached out to me for freelance writing work. I guess it'll be long form ad copy, as they're asking me for a rate per word...
I have no idea what's standard here

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❤️

I’m a strategist interested in branding shops like interbrand. But I hear they aren’t doing well these days since everyone claims to be a brand consultant. Also I’m curious about the work

Our industry needs to change the way it does recruiting. We make it impossible for people to apply directly to agencies. Relying on employee referrals gets good "culture fits" at the cost of diversity

Considering taking a Jr CW job in pharma in NYC after being on the job hunt for 9 months. I’m terrified of getting stuck, but I also want to switch to brand strategy. Chances of escaping if I hate it?

What do CDs look for on a resume? What would you expect to see on an art directors resume? Do things change if applying to agencies versus in-house?
