Hi All! Going through previous posts, I can see it is hard to get a comment/connection in this particular bowl. Reasonably so, as the field in itself is so hectic that professionals are usually busy.

Hi all! I was wondering if you can share your experience balancing work and interview prep at the same time?

My background is more print based, especially the last couple years. When I was working in digital, it was very straightforward (mostly static/animated banners with a little bit of social). Where can I brush up on digital trends? Which agencies’ work should I check out? Any blogs worth catching up on? Thanks!

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?

Do you find working remotely during this time that you’re having a harder time staying on top of everything that’s going on? With the scattered communication and a boss who hasn’t been as focused and can be hard to pin down, I sometimes think I’m giving 150% but something ends up lagging and I’m just wiped out. What are some of your tactics to avoid missed items and stay active and on top of everything through the Covid funk?

Top EA horror stories? I could use a laugh - I know we all have one! Early in my career especially

I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)
