I was invited to join this app, but it seems to be super-focused on young creatives. I'm BA - and not young! Is my perception correct? Not seeing too many posts in this bowl.

I’m in my 20s in BA, we should make an effort to get this group to be more active. I do like watching and following along to see which agencies have drama - guilty pleasure.

Agree Tina. For a group of people who can talk non-stop when we get together, it’s surprising how quiet this bowl is. I’ll chalk it up to us being too busy/understaffed. I find more active & relevant discussions in the Production bowl. Any my agency bowl can be interesting. Fishbowl is a fun distraction that is sometimes informative.

I wonder if we should try to arrange a BA fishbowl virtual happy hour. I’m sure we could retain anonymity to an extent?

Hi! I’m in my forties and Business Affairs, too! I like to sit back and observe since most of the posts are creative-driven or complaining!

I’m Sr level prod really trying to get into BA formally. Tired of production drama, I’d rather cost to date & build estimates. This bowl is good just not super active. But it would be if all Biz Affairs people had more questions/concerns! For me Fishbowl is super useful, questions about rates, contracts, vendors. I see BA’s in bowls like Production, Advertising & Women in Advertising. There’s also a producer bowl & freelance producer bowl where I see EP’s, Sales & BM’s sometimes including vendor side.

Hi Team,

TCS has released the offer letter for me & my doj is on 30th Jan which I chose. My current employer is ready to release me early and my lwd is 30th November.

I am confused whether I should join on 30th Jan or I should talk to HR for early joining. Also, there are rumours that Indian MNCs are cancelling offer letters due to recession and hence I am scared as I don't have any other offer in hand

What's the truth 🤔
