I’m considering a position as an account director at a large agency coming from a media director role at another. (I’ve been client facing for years) are there any hard and fast rules of client management that typically media people wouldn’t deal with DTD? Note: this is more of strategist role and they were looking for heavy media experience but this position is unique in that it will also serve as the liaison between the analytics, creative, and media agencies.

Hey guys, any GCP TAM’s here. Just wanted to get a feel for the job, what does your typical day look like ? Is it a role you enjoy ? I’m a consulting M 10+years. Love working with clients and doing innovation using tech wondering if this would be a good role.

Feeling disheartened after sending out 100+ applications with radio silence back. No rejections but no invited to interview either. I feel like my resume looks good, but I have not gone the referral route as of now. 1 YOE

Hi Fishes anyone here working in ADDA project

What’s the hiring market like in Texas for a 4th year investment management associate? I’m interested in Austin but understand there may be more opportunities in Houston or Dallas. Graduated with honors and on law review at a T14, if that helps at all.

People who have transitioned from consulting to industry or an objectively less demanding role (i.e working 40-45 hrs a week), what makes you feel good about your decision? After a decade in client services, I’m reaching a breaking point and can’t see consulting being sustainable with a young family. But I’m so achievement-driven that I’m having a hard time taking my foot off the gas; I know seeing peers advance once I’ve stepped away will be hard. For context, I’m F and ~8 yrs away from Partner

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

What is the BCG total compensation range for experienced Consultants? (5 years industry + 1.5 consulting)

Was interested to see it broken down by base, signing bonus, and year end bonus if possible!

Thoughts on buying an older Aston Martin? (mid-late 2000s DB9, V8 Vantage, etc.)

I think I need to give up on finding a natural deodorant that actually works.

I’ve tried Native, Dove 0%, Kopari, Toms, Crystal, Secret Aluminum Free. Curie gave me a horrible reaction because of my sensitivity to baking soda.

Anyone else struggle to switch to natural? Find anything that finally worked?

Is there anyone who has submitted their EY GDS assets (laptop, headsets etc) via vendor pickup after leaving ey GDS? If yes, what's the process for it.

What's the new age scene like in Austin? Coming from Portland and I'm missing my fellow mystics.

I just joined this app today and honestly it’s a mess but one I welcome. I’m definitely not getting the LinkedIn aspiring inspirational speaker/life couch vibes and that’s great. What is clear is that y’all are a hot mess and I’m enjoying it. I’m reading about people hooking up with colleagues, one person who’s boss is unaware they work once a day every two weeks and people who just seem to hate corporate life but stay because they love money and status.

Today is my last day in PA. I’m leaving for a manager role in industry. Honestly I just hope it all works out . As in I do a good job within next role.

Is it just me or does it feel like everyone else is getting really good exit ops but for us visa folks, opportunities are extremely limited? Pretty discouraged and debating going back to home country...

Wondering if the move is better to go into sales or continue in management?

Why won’t AA let me book business class flights with points if they’re available to buy cash? (Qatar flight on AA site)

Transferring IRA from Vanguard to Fidelity - do I have to liquidate my holdings?

How long do you spend on monthly reporting for your clients?
My 3-person team spends about 15+ hours a month each writing monthly reports for our clients (99 small retainer clients). We’ve received feedback that they’re too complicated and the clients just want to know - are we on the right track, what action items are there, and what any next steps are in their strategy.
How do you simplify without losing value?

Tired of hearing all the "account people suck” comments on this app. Get some new material creatives.

I want to quit without a job lined up. My agency is a dumpster fire of incompetent project managers, revolving door of creatives and culture of not holding people accountable amidst a micromanaging gossipy leadership. I just want out. Tell me it is ok and will be alright.

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager. I am really biased toward people with clinical/in hospital experience because, quite frankly, healthcare is a different beast - lots of hand holding and change management. I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!

Help. My AD left and we're still looking for a replacement. My AAE was promoted to AE prematurely in light of the departure. Now we're having serious problems.

I got a promotion a year and 3 months ago, and got a pay raise 5 months ago. Could I still ask for a promotion to SAE if I have been supporting a team more as one? Promotions are hard to stab with.

Are there any account roles open that aren’t in Pharma? Seems like every AD post I come across is to work on healthcare

Be courages this week. Step out and step up. Be present in all you do. Above all, remember you have what it takes.

Any account folks make the leap to client side/in-house agencies? I’m so over being in client service, but still love the process. How is it on the dark side?

To the clients scheduling meetings over the inauguration: get over yourself.

Anyone familiar with the Client Partner role at Elephant? Curious how it differs from ‘traditional’ Account Management role

Anyone ever just quit a job? Hate my clients, don't care about the agency/coworkers, all references are elsewhere and I have a better job waiting. Worth putting in 2 weeks anyways?

I’m pretty passive when I’m disrespected by creative but I think it sets a bad example for my team. If any of my reports were spoken to the way I was I’d raise hell...how set example?

What’s a good position for an Account Manager on the client side?

Who else started with small businesses and moved up to medium and large at agencies structured to handle it? I handle 40 clients and some 60 Content managers, ad managers, designers, developers, and a smattering of other positions.

Which was better? I have almost complete autonomy over what happens with small biz, but getting to focus on projects for more than an hour/month sounds nice.

Hi Account friends! It’s the start of a new year and I was hoping you all could share any book / newsletter / blog / course recommendations that help keep you up to snuff. Feeling a bit stale and like the last year has been a tactical grind. I want to brush up on modern thinking for our industry - the latest and greatest marketing books, strategy perspectives, creative self help, etc. to feel more alive as we start 2022.

Comment your favs and THANK YOU in advance!

Have you ever heard of an Associate Account Supervisor? Is that a role/position that exists anywhere? Is it just above Senior Account Executive? What would the responsibilities entail?

Is there such thing as a true account role at major branding agencies? Ex. Interbrand, Landor, Pentagram...Sounds like in many cases it’s actually just PM under a different name.

Any fishies in MPLS and willing to share AE salary expectations?
