If you’re a serial job hopper, does putting freelance in front of your title quell concerns from prospective employers?

Does it even matter if other agencies are still looking to poach you?

I started my career during Covid

Are you a serial job hopper who can easily be referenced by former coworkers/CDs as to your abilities?

It IS a red flag if someone lists a bunch of places but no one can vouch for them.

Then you’re good.

Take some things off of your resume to quell any judgement. Especially short term engagements. You can place a sabbatical or something in place of a short, 3-6 month contract.

Nah. Not if you got good names on your CV and a good book. Look at a guy like Adrian Flores, he’s done plenty of freelance off and on but still lands CCO gig at Clemenger BBDO. Guys a beast.

Hi all- new to fishbowl. Not really sure how to use and explore the app yet but I saw this bowl and figured I would introduce myself. I am a wholesaler for 401K and I am able to partner with advisors who currently uncover 401K opportunities or are looking to learn how to. Reply if you are an advisor in the NYC area and interested in learning about how to expand your business.

I've noticed that my coworkers tend to work more on their own than with others, even when they're all in the office. Is this normal? I feel like it would be helpful for everyone to talk about their projects more often—I mean, what if someone else has solved the same problem you're trying to solve already?

We use Deloitte India for a number of parts of our delivery. Recently I have seen some unethical practices that violate labor laws and do not align with Deloitte principles. My manager says it isn’t my problem as they are a vendor but I can’t help thinking I have an ethical responsibility to do something. Any advice as to how to approach this without being fired?

New job.
Moved from agency after 6yrs, into a startup (€8m Series A, high growth); first marketing hire. My manager is ex VC, seems to like managing by fear, let’s fire X, let’s cut the agency etc. sets tight deadlines & adds urgent items last minute. Others seem to feel I’m doing great but I am butting heads with him constantly about unrealistic workloads etc. Really not enjoying interacting with him, thinking about leaving... should I stick it out? I feel like I’m being abused, but need money!
