I’m seeing the idea of taxing corporations on GAAP income get thrown around. My initial reaction is that it’s a bad idea but I’m far from an expert, especially with taxation. What does everyone here think?

How much time in a day do you spend on this app? I think it’s too much for me. 😆

Pros and cons on getting a designation? Been considering going for the CPCU designation to gain some professional development. Which designation did you go for and why?

Who is the main contact for Ogilvy recruiting?

National insurance

how’s everyone feeling about this?

Quite miffed as I just got a small pay rise and now I think this plus the upcoming not rises in utilities and inflation will pretty much cancel it out.

This country is fucked lol

What compensation should I be targeting for a Vice President role at a PE firm with $6.5B AUM in terms of salary, bonus, and carry? How might this differ for an operating partner at a PE fund? TIA!

The same usual bonus for EY India folks. Doesn't at all add up to the chest thumping we do as a practice during the town halls.
On top of this remote working ki naam pe bijli ka bill 10k per mahina aa rha hain. And the tech salaries pumping inflation in the economy. The same place which was available for a 35k is quoting 50k. I wish atleast the hike is inflation beating :/

Hello there, fishes. I'm planning to see a movie this weekend, but I'm not sure which theatre to go to between PVR Gold in Phoniex Mall and Cinepolis VIP in Seasons Mall. Did anyone go to either of these? 
If so, which do you believe is worth it and has better experience?

How hard is it to exit to the buy side from FDD?

Has anyone burned some bridges yet? Just curious 😏

Production feels like a constant battle to preserve the original idea against everyone‘s unnecessary creative flourishes. How do top agencies manage to turn out such well crafted work?

Starting a new job on Monday. Last time I did this I was a nervous junior with zero clue. Any tips on what I should be doing besides basic onboarding? 1:1s with the CCO? Seeing materials for the brands I’ll be working on? Anything else?

Random Q unrelated to advertising but is anyone investing through Fidelity? And what mutual funds/stocks are you investing in that show potential?

Any Deutsch LA CDs out there who wouldn't mind perusing my portfolio? I hear you have some cw openings and I'd absolutely love to work with you and for Karen Costello. DM if so and thank you!

I have to stop imagining how great it will be to sell my script until it actually sells.

How do you start your concepting process?

Need a little perspective: Did you get faster at brainstorming ideas as you went along in your career? I’m one of the only juniors at a mostly senior agency and having trouble keeping up.

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.

I love Instagram, I really do! But sometimes I feel that as a creative the thought of "sticking" to an aesthetic makes me cringe! I feel that art & inspo should be free flowing - not confined to a box

I’m a copywriter hoping to find a designer/art director potential partner that is passionate about social change. I want to create something meaningful... anyone picking up what I’m putting down?

What’s the worst review experience you’ve had?

I’m essentially partners with a creative director. If we wanted to run off together to another agency, would we be able to go as partners? Or does my title & small experience sample hamstring us both?

I’m the only Dad on my team. Last night we had to work till 8. Not because we were swamped. But because the entire team just felt like goofing off for two hours instead of getting the work done....

Anyone work at Hulu that would feel comfortable referring me? Lmk! Thanks :)

Freelancing for the first time after 2 years at an agency. What is an appropriate hourly and day rate for a designer in NYC? Starting to think mine is too low.

Tips for saving/mocking up social posts of your work once it’s posted? Like is it easier to take a screen grab or what? Sorry I’m not super tech savvy. Haha

Be honest. Why do you keep coming back to this app?

As a Creative, do you prefer voice or video for initial project discussions with vendors? How do you feel about follow-up video conferences to go through vendor treatments?
