If you had the finances and the ability to take time off, how long before you think you would be bored? I keep thinking I never would be because I have so many hobbies but I am not sure. Has anyone done it?

Any next week joiners?

If yes, please comment your DOJ as Monday(OCT 24th) is a public holiday.

@EY

Curious how other companies are position their 2023 December holiday calendar.

Christmas falls on a Monday next year. Is your company observing the Friday before (22nd) as eve? Or are they observing the 26th as day after?

How do you survive on a PhD stipend knowing it’ll be years before you can afford luxuries like a vacation or brand-name ice cream?

I heard most of us are off for some holiday next week, so enjoy the day off to prepare for the holiday!

How many PTO/personal days do we get when we become managers?

Happy to report: Did not fall into any honey trap at the holiday party.

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

mental vacation: picture yourself in a pitch. you all presents ideas. client says, "you all know better than us. let's go with that!" now wake up and take the noose off your neck. happy Friday.

What's going on this weekend? Any fun holiday shops or pop-up bars I could check out?

If you were in a private company assistant controller position being offered $10k more to switch over to public and much better PTO days and fully remote as opposed to an in office position that I’m currently at in a Real estate growing company. Would u do the switch back to public (left public just recently)?

We are seeing more pushback from employees on working 40 hours. We offer flexibility (wfh), 11 holidays and another 3 wks PTO. Seems like a good gig, I think, at 40-45 hrs. Anyone seeing this too?

Planning a honeymoon in Greece for September. Any recommendations on islands? It’s a 2 week vacation. Some time will be spent on Mykonos for the sake of a specific resort but other than that I have nothing else planned.

Hi all, I’m gonna join pwc ac Bangalore next month. I need your help In knowing the holiday calendar or holidays available in last week of December I.e in between Dec 25th to Dec 31st. To plan my vacation. Please help

When and how do you push back on people senior to you? Fifth year dealing with supersenior associate (11th year) who completely lacks good judgment & common sense. One of those super smart but impractical types. As just one example, he recently called me to tell me to call someone who’s on vacation and ask them to send a calendar invite. I offered to send myself but apparently that wouldn’t work (presumably because it would be efficient & make sense.) At what point (and how) do I Just Say No?

How supportive are your companies when it comes to taking PTO for mental health days?

I’m in a little of a pickle but a good one. Offer A. Established “start up” doing well financially and projected to hit profitability. 130k base. Stocks offered, unlimited PTO, and 70% Medical covered. Offer B. Is at a business much larger…90k salary with 10% bonus and generous stock offering. Titles are different which is why the pay is much different. I know some may think it is a no brainer but offer A allows me to grow the department ground up whereas offer B id be apart of to just different

Raise your hand if you are surviving the holiday season! 🙋‍♀️

EY 🐠 - potentially starting with the firm soon, and my partner is due to have our first in April. Given the 1 year service requirement for leave, would I have the option to take PTO during birth and use parental leave after my 1 year of service? Appreciate any guidance here

Trademark confusion question. New to TMa here.
Do you think these names would be confusingly similar in same class of services?

MANUFACTURETALK vs MANUFACTURE HAWK

Not real names. Both start with same term - diff is between talk and hawk? I think it wouldn’t be confusingly similar as talk and hawk elicit diff meaning to a consumer. What you think?

Which company would you choose in the Bay Area - Zynga or Fitbit? Reason?
If none is better feel free to say..

Any junior associate folk here who stood up to a partner who treated them like trash? As in actually told the partner that they are talking to you like you’re a piece of garbage (or something along those lines). If so, how did that work out for you?

Things you wish someone would have told you before starting a career in marketing?

Hey I was informed my position was eliminated due to corp restructure. I am a marketing vet with 10 years diverse experience from social to email and both b2b and b2c marketing. I also am about to complete my mba. I love to tell a brands story. Looking for a position at a people first company marketing manager positions or above in Atlanta or remote thanks for your help.

Is it worth it to leave a current FTE perm role to work for Google as an freelancing executive producer, 6+ contract with possible extensions pending budget, performance etc? Debating the massive brand name and experience but leaving job security etc. for it

I think I've moved almost entirely from newspapers to newsletters. Media changes!

Feeling like it's only a matter of time before I have to tell the new marketing dept head that the snazzy jargon just makes him sound like a tryhard and alienates our customer base

Social media is changing, from IG going to video and Twitter….well. It has become clear how important focusing on multiple social media channels can be.

My boss started harassing me because he found out I am vaccinated against covid. What does a vaccine have anything to do with marketing?

A real gem from Henry Ford: "stopping advertising to save money is like stopping your watch to save time."

Do you believe influencers have just as many efficient marketing skills as someone in the field?

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.

Going from PR agency to a marketing role in-house, tips and advice pretty please!!!

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?

Hi there anybody here work with influencers & creators often? Would love to network and pick your brain on the legal side/contract clauses to include 🙏🙏🙏 as I'm trying to propose an influencer strategy at my company. Thanks

Hubspot is getting way too expensive for my small business and they don’t care at all that they are pricing loyal customers out. What’s a more affordable alternative?

It feels like my pay and title are lower than my scope of duties. I manage Youtube channels and do all strategy, planning, talent management, rework content for socials, reporting, graphic design, + a bunch of other stuff. Do you think I should be something like Video Content Manager? A Strategist maybe? My company doesn't have career pathing & I think they'd be happy to keep giving me more work with the same pay. TIA!!
