I’m starting to get real annoyed with recruiters doing an open cattle call for an open role, and then editing the post with “RIP my inbox!!” Like you knew that was going to happen 💀

No they’re telling the world that when you freelance for them, you won’t be called back, no matter how good you do. They don’t keep your name for next time.
Good recruiters have a network that they treat well and return to over and over.

The thing about cattle calls is none of the cattle ever come back

I am not a fan of the cattle call on LI either. I would imagine it’s a last ditch effort after exhausting their running lists to find creatives that have immediate availability. But I agree it can be dehumanizing. I have found that most creatives these days put their book on their LI profile. Super helpful.

Accepting an offer in IBD, lateraling over from consulting. Opportunity of a lifetime for me so don’t want to lose it.
But timing is horrible. I joined the Army Reserves before this opportunity was on my radar. Interviewed over several months, got the offer, but shipping out in 1 month for training for 6 months.
Do I irreversibly shoot my career by joining and immediately going on LoA? I obviously haven’t mentioned it in the interview process. Or will this be forgotten a couple years in?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
