I think it's absolutely wild that something as absurd and honestly unhealthy as 996 is making its way back. I know it's more prevalent in the tech scene, but I wanted to ask recruiters if there are signs of such a culture creeping into the advertising space. I wouldn't be all that surprised because even with a 9-5, I sometimes feel like we're expected to be available till about 9PM.

Working Moms/Dads: Do in-house positions exist with flex time hours? I need to be able to leave work at 4pm to pick up my son from daycare, but i can get back online at home to resume any unfinished work at 8pm. Is this realistic to convey to any companies in an interview? Pandemic aside, is face time 9-7pm really important? Or should i just try to find a job with a salary that covers a nanny salary and accept that i will never see my son on weekdays (which would be sad for both of us)? TIA!

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?
