I'm going to my first award show this Thursday, as our project is a finalist 🎉 What are some do's or don'ts, etiquette, etc that I should keep in mind? Is there an unspoken hierarchy of who goes up to accept the award (if we win)? Only myself and the designer are going from our project team, though two ECDs and the CCO at our company (but not a part of the project) will be there too.

Do not drink too much 🤣… speaking from experience

Follow ECD and CCO’s lead, they might very well sprint up and accept the trophy & awkwardly high-five before you even get out of your seats.

Just the obvious. Treat it like a wedding. Have a good time. Get drunk but not too drunk. Chat to some people you don’t know. And compliment the CCO ECDs for bonus points.

May you can ask the CCO/ECD casually what it will be like if you win, since it’s your first show. And then in a conversational way they will tell you what to expect and then at least you’ll know whether or not to get on stage? Good luck and congratulations!

Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Hi Everyone,
I have a query. Not sure if this is the right forum for it, but let me just ask it here.
I have completed my B.Tech. on 2020 and got a job in an MNC with a 3.8LPA, but due to COVID, the onboarding was delayed to Feb 2021. During this time, I had enrolled myself for a distance M.Tech. degree.
I recently joined a new company with a 10.1LPA a month back.
Just two weeks back, my M.Tech. degree is completed.
Should I have some increment in my new company as to my M.Tech. completion?

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.

Are there any agencies where creatives actually have good work-life balance in LA, SF or anywhere else for that matter? Like no weekends or no working more than a 40-50hr week? Or do I have to go in house for this? Or do I have to leave advertising altogether?

I feel like I’m either getting burnt out by work or trying to heal myself from it. There’s never much time for real life and I don’t want to be on my death bed reminiscing like, “Wow, I made some cool ads.” Nothing scares me more.
