I’m looking to book a few leadership and management trainings or coaching for my CDs and ACDs. Any recommendations in New York? Something that’s not team bonding activity.

Been on the job hunt for the past 3 months. Applied to 200+. Interviewed with 15 companies (big tech + mid sized) but failing at either hiring manager round or ghosted after onsite. I’ve spent hours everyday applying, researching companies and prepping for interviews, watching videos, reading books, but just can’t seem to close the deal. Feeling so stuck, anxious and frustrated all the time.

Any advice how to get out of this situation?

Any advice on good courses to take/books to read for managing teams/performing well at Manager/Senior Manager level? Managing at Senior Manager level so learning skills like account development, team interventions, budgeting, winning work etc. Thanks Fishes!

Is it normal to not do QoE/NWC adjs at the analyst level? The directors/managers usually jump in and handle them. I know it’s faster for them to do it but I feel like I’m not learning anything except how to set up a data book. Only been in deals for about 3 months.

Any recommendations for business and / or management books that impacted you positively? Currently on a reading spree and could use some good sources here :)

If I was a junior on a team during a campaign launch, is that something I can put in my book? I helped during the concepting phase, was responsible for keeping the boards up to date, and wrote a lot of the supporting materials (print, social etc) but obviously I was not on the shoot or the lead on writing the script. As long as I’m clear about my role is that acceptable?

Any good recommended books on how to build a scalable product and team? I'm looking for recommendations for two areas: 1) in general laying the groundwork in a startup to have the tools and especially processes in place to scale, and 2) tactical focus on building a SaaS project. I've been promoted into a management role from Dev roots, so need to learn more PM processes to be an effective manager in day job, plus would like to start building my own SaaS solution.

Hi everyone, applied for an investment consulting internship few weeks back.

I'm interested to know what is the must develop skills, must take courses or must read books to get insight, develop the required knowledge and skills for the position. I majored in business management finance and currently preparing for CFA level 1. Thanks in advance ☺️

Looking for an art partner to come in at the ACD or what my agency calls “group art supervisor” level. Fair warning: it’s pharma, but business is really healthy and leadership usually fights really hard for creative that doesn’t involve couples strolling down the shoreline hand-in-hand :) Hit me with your book if interested

Any senior level writers looking for a job in LA? have a lead on a gig that requires a team. Message me with your book if so.

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

At what point do you folks just give up on working through an excel problem? I swear I could have saved time adding everything individually, but it would be a blow to my excel ego.

Anyone else find themselves getting extremely stressed at work during pregnancy? It’s like my emotions are just off and I get so stressed so easily. I want to be calm for baby but it’s hard to not get worked up!

casually scrolling through my feed on IG when I see a sponsored ad from a guy wanting to work at Saatchi. Jobseekers are getting so clever! what's the best thing you've seen someone do for a job?

I flunked out of school and had no options when I joined the army. I hated every second of my time in, and spent all my weekends getting as drunk as possible.

Now that I’m out, I graduated with my BA in Econ, got a job I love, and somehow got into an M7 Bschool with a 670 GMAT. I look back on my time in and laugh, and still talk with some of my old army buddies (though not as often anymore)

Amazing how time can change your perspective, because 10 years ago I never thought I’d be here.

I'm looking for a new winter jacket. My area gets lowest 27 during winter so not that cold. I'm 5'5 and considering Canada Goose fusion fit option. Would it really worth the money? Or should I look for shell jackets by other brands?

Guys urgent question - can I open a Vanguard brokerage account as a H1B visa holder ? I have been here for a couple of years now at least. Are there any other restrictions ?

Hi fellow fishies - loaded question but does anyone know of any agencies (ideally in NYC) that are open to visa sponsorship? I have a good friend and former coworker who is a KICKA$$ account lead and is struggling to find a new role (needle in a haystack for sponsorship... ugh). Current place is beyond toxic. Any info/advice appreciated! Thank you 😊

Anyone commute on PATH from NYC to Jersey City or the other way around? What part of either city do you live and where's work, how long is your commute, and do you feel like your commute is practical with what you're getting in return, or do you wish you lived closer to work?

I know I’m an excellent designer and creative leader but I am having the worst time securing just an interview. I’m tired of being ghosted. What can I do?

What other creative outlets do you have outside of your job? Not necessarily side hustles, might just be something you do just for fun or creative nourishment?

How do I make another agencies offer into a raise from my current agency without making it feel like an ultimatum?

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.

It's been a full 24 hours since the super bowl and I haven't watched a single super bowl commercial yet. AMA.

Agencies have a million postings up. Am I dumb to apply to multiple at one agency? Or just stick to one and know that my name is in the pile?

Confession: Sometimes I’m afraid to ask for more resources in my role, because what if I have everything I need to succeed and still come up short?

Anyone else experience this and successfully push through that fear?

I am mainly working with shops in the States as a non-native speaker and I am constantly worried about my ability to communicate (in any professional occasion but mostly in meetings). I am working with some of the best shops and this makes the situation worse considering that I am largely surrounded by an extremely competent group of folks that are super good at any form of communication. How do you feel as a native speaker when you meet non-natives? Should they be worried, or, they doing ok?

As a copywriter with a solid strategic agency background: What’s the best way to find my niche? In-house? Deloitte digital? Regular agency? As I evolve into a senior role, I’m not sure how to leverage this. My two fortes are: Storytelling/scripts, headlines, and conceptual planning.

Does your company pay for parking (if they don’t have a designated lot)? If no, do you believe they should they pay for it? Thoughts on this?

Are there any CDs working on Post Mates, Grub hub or Door dash. I just wrote out a whole campaign for fun. Print, commercials, activations, etc. Would love to pitch it.

Career advice needed.

Anyone ever transition from media to creative? How? What did you do?

On another note, how do you make a portfolio without any paid gigs? Does my work have to be a paid gig?

So, 100% of the times I’ve got further in the interview process and I’ve got an interview with the ECDs or CCOs, I got the job. Always.

Except for the 2 last ones. And the only difference was...cont

Being forced to work out of a spreadsheet is killing me

Looking for an AD to comp up work I’m going on my own. I will pay you.

If you put your two weeks notice in, are you obligated to show up? I told my friend, yeah, of course unless your agency asks you leave. Right?

What’s the next move after being a CD? GCD or ECD? What’s the difference?
