Hi All, I was offered a role with Aecoms San Francisco office working with an energy client for a midlevel associate environmental planner. I wanted to gauge what is a general salary that ones been offered on this team. I felt lowballed at $79k/annual, initially offered 74k. This is given that I had 1.5 years in land use planning and a recent masters graduate in urban planning.

Hi everyone! I’m in the market for a fully remote or hybrid HR coordinator/Specialist or People Operations Coordinator position, ideally with a big company. I’m currently in grad school obtaining my Masters in HRM, planning to take the SHRM within a year.

Hello everyone, first post ever and I have a question for you. I left my previous job for a startup. I really enjoy what I do, but the lack of international perspective makes me want to look for something else as my goal has always been to work in many different countries.

It’s been almost a year and I am wondering if leaving a company after a year would eventually be perceived as a deal breaker for recruiters. I know it will mostly depends on my ability to sell myself.

What do you think?

Anyone want to run a spontaneous half marathon tmrw? I can’t run it anymore for personal reasons and can give away my bib

I’m taking the SPHR in less than 2 months and haven’t started studying for it. How difficult is it? I’ve been in HR for 20 years and have experienced ALOT in that time, although there are always employee relations scenarios that surprise me! How much do I really need to study for this? I just can’t seem to motivate myself to do it, I’m so mentally burnt out at the end of the day from a high stress HR job, the last thing I feel like doing is studying HR!

Have a Director of Benefits interview tomorrow. They are a start up and went from 100 employees to about 4000. I'll have to create processes, implementation, file 5500, track loans, etc..

I would love to send my resume out and get ahead in my networking circle. Love seeing everyone’s posts!

Anyone have advice for mid 30s professional with experience in film and photo. Looking to pivot to f/t agency? Not a huge social networker and might need some help with my resume.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

How much media experience should someone have before pivoting into comms/connections planning? What specific media tools would a comms planner use in their day to day?

Although I've reviewed job descriptions for comms planners, would love to hear someone's input & experience.

Would like to set myself up to make this switch eventually. Thank you

What are you favorite comms planning resources and websites?

Connections and comms strategy are changing with the industry. Where do you bring the most value to teams and clients today, and where / how do you see that evolving ?

Anyone have any success in developing a process for thought leadership, inspiration, information share-out with creatives that actually resonates and invites questions and conversation?

Campaigns Building Hype Over Time

Wondering if you folks have any strong examples of campaigns / product launches that used a window of time (maybe 2 or 3 months) in an interesting way to drive demand or buzz around a product / brand.

"Netflix Is A Joke", Axe's Susan Glenn campaign, and Who Is Louise Delage? come to mind but any other examples are much appreciated!

What would you do if your counterpart isn’t performing at the level they should be? It’s starting to affect the output of our projects together - I’m strategy and they are media planning. Both ADs.

Can senior people point me to great examples
of case studies that can guide creation of portfolio. I know available on brand consultancy/ Agency websites, but hoping to separate wheat from chaff.

how to work with creatives that have never worked with a Connections planner before?

I’ve been so many places where everyone throws around comms planning, connections planning, and channel planning (and others) interchangeably. But then some folks say there’s nuance. Is there?

Anyone have good examples of how brands have integrated with wearables - any type of wearable (content integration, 3rd Party partnership, app extension, platform sponsorship, etc)?
