Why is it so difficult to make the next career move within your OWN company. I have over 7 years of experience across multiple departments and yet an external company is more willing to give an interview to select roles than your own home company for the same role internally!!

Where is the loyalty in that !!??

How many days it will take to release offer in HCL after HR discussion????

Hi Fishes, Pls help,
YOE: 13 yrs
Cctv: 13 lpa

Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter, to be approved by L4), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa. After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).

I don't have any other offer as of now. What should I do?

I have a product interview coming up and one of the questions is “what is a product you know a lot about , tell me it’s functions, issues, how it can be improved , and market space"

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾

What might be the reasons.

Heard that Accenture gave promotions to all in the name of Fastrack promotion tag in Dec 2021.. as the attrition rate is high currently.. is that true...?

I'm about to graduate from uni and have sadly just realised that the creative industries I like aren't going to pay enough, so I want to get into consulting. Ideally in areas like marketing/branding/digital rather than MBB

I have no consulting experience and I have accepted an internship offer at an advertising firm for this summer. What steps would you advise me to take to get into consulting? Also, I get to pick between strategy and accounts for the internship - would either be more useful?

Hi! I have recently taken a step back from my Doctorate in Physical Therapy and am trying to find my next move. My family keeps recommending medical sales, my bank account recommends finishing the degree that cost me an arm and a leg, and my heart is conflicted in so many areas of interest - PT, Psych, sales, etc. I am currently working as a patient care technician but do not see this as my end goal. Any recommendations on sales vs PT vs psychology vs really anything? Thank you!!

Hi fishes,
I will be promoted to A from this Oct . Pay scale will change from Oct . So will I get yearly hike or they ignore it ?

Was at dinner with my mom yesterday and we got into an argument about me not wanting to tell her how much my salary is. I had no problem telling my parents right out of college but just feel kind of weird about it as I progress in my career. She said I am getting a big head and I replied that the exact reason I don’t want to tell her how much I make is because I don’t want to brag/ have a big head. Should I tell my parents how much I make for the rest of my life? Am I over thinking it?

Today I started looking into the benefits of owning a miniature pony. And I seriously considered it.

Nike picking Colin Kaepernick as the face of your campaign is questionable at best. Why choose someone so divisive when you have so many other athletes that are more broadly viewed favorably?

Anyone genuinely happy with their job/where they are right now?

If yes - where do you work and why?

Creatives that use PowerPoint disgust me that is all have a good day.

How long do you give your juniors to settle into their new roles before considering letting them go?

Serious question time:
Do you have everyday work (banner ads, generic social, microsites, brochures, etc) in your portfolios and what's your stance on this?

I’ve been in a junior role for almost a year and need to find a new job. Should I still try to find another junior role or attempt a mid-level position?

Ever look at your CD (/ECD/CCO) and wonder how the hell they made it there?

feelings on creative recruitment agencies?? i’m fresh out of school and just starting my job search (art direction/design). is it worth trying to use them or waste of time? other strategies?

I hate it when I hear an AD say they "can't draw." No one is expecting a work of art, just a shitty sketch that illustrates the idea.

How hard is it to get a job in another country? There’s a bunch of international agencies I admire, but I don’t know anyone who’s searched for an international job.

I have a photographer/ videographer on my team who is amazingly talented at executing the work, but he has no larger creative ideas or vision, and totally shuts down when we try to push him. Has anyone ever successfully grown someone like this or is it a lost cause?

Any recos for directors who kill it when it comes emotional storytelling in short form content? As in :15. Mostly visual, little dialogue.

If you have previously declined an offer from an agency, how long should you wait before applying there again - if ever?

I feel like 80% of my job is producing. Is this normal, or am I just working with shitty producers?

I think creatives feel things pretty deeply. How do you emotionally regulate when something in your life is going wrong and you need to be funny to write a tv spot or something?

Creatives who don’t code: how did you build your portfolio site?

Mine is currently on WordPress and uses a theme I paid a one-time fee for.
