I miss just making “the thing”. I would get a project. Then find the best partners to make “the thing.” It was the best. I would meet and work with all kinds of talented designers, filmmakers etc. The creative got better. Now it’s a ton of politics like find a way to make this in-house and you can’t denigrate in-house because we all need to get behind it. I have to triple bid, but has to go in-house. Will it ever return back? Walking on eggshells all the time. What do you miss?

Triple bidding jobs that everyone knows won’t be awarded to outside vendors is reprehensible.

I miss when in-house professionals were given the same respect as everyone else in the agency.

Oh, wait. That’s never happened.

I hear that, but the politics is all over the place. I saw all the cool work go to a particular post house for years; not because they were the best choice, certainly not because they were the best place in the city, but because the agency HOP was pals with the owner of the post house.

Every since I started working in the US, agency in house production has been terrible. And it was always a head scratcher for me.

Not being top notch I understand, but it shouldn’t be terrible. It’s not that the salary of an editor or motion is that different agency side from production house.

Photographers too, that are loads of good still photographers out there who would love a steady pay with benefits.

Designers however there were plenty of good ones in house. At one point Deutsch NY had Juan Carlos Pagan, Nico Ortega and Brian Gartside. And they even had Craig Allen too at one point.

WK PDX always had solid designers. (And btw, joint is pretty good too)

Hello fellow SAP Consultants!
I am SAP HCM consultant having 4.10 years of experience. I feel that this module doesn’t have any growth. My first switch took me to 9LPA from 6LPA and now the second switch is being offered for 11.5LPA where I can see my fellow friends in SAP having more than 15LPA at the same experience on their second switch itself. Should I be worried about my skillset? Any insights would highly be appreciated. I feel stuck.

Hi guys currently I'm working in a project with very stringent timelines. Sometimes we need to put more than 13-14 hrs each day. There are 4 members in my team. Two are involved in database prt and me and my lead are involved in the front end and middle layer prt. Somehow my lead is not at all pleased with my work. And even if I try to talk to him for something he is completely rude. Sometimes it makes me that I m completely useless. Even the other team members are following the lead
