I spent the morning telling several of my creatives about the raises and promotions they got this week. Best day of my career.

Any hot valuation topics people want to discuss?

Currently a new S1 thinking about taking a FP&A role. Is going from Senior to Analyst not Senior analyst a bad move? Mediocre raise in salary (3k) but well known company with a flat structure

What’s your top 5 companies in the world you want to or have worked for? Any industry.

Initially I asked HR not to release the offer letter. Only received the salary breakup. It has been more than 1 week since I asked not to release the offer letter. Can I ask again for releasing the offer letter? Or I will need to wait for another 6 months to apply ?

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!

Entering my 2nd year as a medical malpractice (insurance) defense litigator. My billables are 2200 per year, even during WFH and COVID while the courts are moving very slowly. Any advice as to what I should look into for an exit? I can’t hit those billables while maintaining my sanity.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Wishing you a successful year full of health, wealth, love and prosperity!

Had to pull an all nighter and am convinced I will not make it through this day. Prayers are greatly appreciated.

KPMG EA’s - how many of you are going into the office? Average number of days per week?

Does VP or SVP really mean anything in Talent or Business Affairs? Does it actually bump salary up significantly or does it just mean a free parking space that no one is using since we’re WFH? Genuinely curious as I see some people with VP or SVP that have less experience than many with just a Sr title.

Do any campaigns come to mind that have done a good job at generating UGC/content on behalf of the brand?

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

Let’s settle the “insight” confusion once and for all. What’s your definition?

Does Cannes not understand it's devaluing itself? It's the H&M of creativity. (Well not at $5 a pop but you know what I mean 🤭)

I’m cracking under pressure. My whole team is overworked and understaffed with no relief coming. People are working while sick cuz we can’t afford to take time off. It’s always like this and I can’t take it anymore. Advice on how to survive until I can find something new?

Anyone transitioned from analytics to strategy? What advice do you have in terms of skills to learn or ways of working?

Do you think independent agencies will be in better shape to handle COVID-related client budget reductions and/or losses?

Or does it not matter and layoffs are equal across the board?

Don’t you think it’s strange that a lot of creative recruiters and resource managers never accept requests on LinkedIn? Blows my mind.

I’m currently an AD but have always been interested in production. How hard would the transition be? Is it worth it? Would I have to start from the bottom again money wise?

Anyone heard of or worked for Level Studios? They work for Apple. Wondering if it would have the same weight on your resume and portfolio as in-house.

Just started rewatching Happyish, it is so good! If you are jaded by the Ad industry and you have not seen it yet, it’s quite cathartic.

To everyone that’s been laid off I just want y’all to know that I’m with you. That is why I’m doing the bare minimum until it’s my time to go.

Do you think remote hires are less safe when layoffs come or is that an old school mentality?
