I was hired for a brand but now I’m not getting to work on it. Only getting work on small briefs for other brand while the rest of the team that was hired for that brand is working on big global campaign ideas for the brand I was hired to work on. Missing out on some great opportunities and feeling like my skills or what I bring to the table isn’t valued. What do I do?

Omfg LEAVE! Same shit happened to me at my last job, waited it out for 10 months before I had enough. Was promised to work on a cool flashy beer brand and instead I created endless insurance banners.

I even tried talking to my project manager about switching brands like 7 months in, saying I was told I would be on the beer one. He said I was needed in the current brand I was in and that we could “revisit this conversation in the future” 🤡

Once I quit, the recruiter pleaded with me to stay, promising I’ll be on that brand. But I was done being fooled ✌🏻 Straight switch and bait happened.

Any thoughts on finance in P&G or Unilever? Some people says they are mainly marketing / brand companies, so finance is less important (but the ceo is a finance person in P&G??). Also, many people say that the job is so boring and repetitive.. Actually, I'm planning to move from consulting, mostly because of work-life balance. I'm sure it's more boring, but I think it's not a bad opportunity. What are your thoughts?

Hi,
The expansion of initial letter in my name is XYZ in PAN card website ( income tax website) And in passport it is mentioned as ABC.

Will it be a problem during background verification in IT companies? The first advantage (third party) is asking for expansion of my initial letter in my name, where I have clearly mentioned the scenario in thier comment box.
Will first advantage take this into consideration or will expansion of initial letter in a name will have any impact on the BGV?

So, I fucked up a bit. Was interviewing with the recruiter and they asked me my rate — I went low as I had a number for a senior role. The problem was I forgot in the beginning of the meeting it was mentioned this was an ACD role. Can I go back to them with a more appropriate number for the role should I get the offer?
