I'm subscribed to so many 'great advertising' newsletters but mostly I just select all > Mark as read 🙈

Got 37.08% hike from ASE to SE promotion based on techleap. Just wondering if any Manager or HR can clear. Why is it .08% I mean is it calculated based on some parameters or something.
Also what will be my new variable pay percentage at ASE level it was 8.5%

PS - Genuine question.

Father’s Day gift ideas?!

Why is this industry so damn nepotistic when it comes to schools

Anybody else get as excited as I do when you hit the $7500 social security tax cap and your pay check increases 🤣

Can anyone provide insight on exit ops / transition strategy from an enterprise risk transformation background to something less focused on risk without MBA? 2 YOE background in info systems. Work exp is process based not risk assurance / IT audit.

Anyone willing to case prep with me. Rising senior going through interview process in next 4-6 weeks and would love casing partner(s)

DM me if interested!

I'm on a long term project (likely to continue on in perpetuity) and the relationship among team members is getting kind of crazy. A lot of stress seems to be building up among partners. I'm the senior associate assisting in the management of all workflows. My tasks are complete and accurately executed, but things are getting super toxic lately. Has anyone successfully disarmed a bomb like this? It's getting a bit wild and my next move is to try lateraling if this toxicity keeps increasing.

I am currently in USDC Lake Mary and planning to move to the Mechanisburg office. Any apartment recommendations ?

Where can I find research based interventions for young chiildren?

Hello, I have a interview soon in the health analytics dept. for CVS that includes a 1 long case study. Has anyone done a case study in that company before? Does anyone have any other tips that they can supply?

I’m another auditor trying to switch to TAS - looking to eventually pivot to strategy roles. Any suggestions on a vertical?

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE working form home full time. However, I have noticed I feel less relaxed after work and I think it might be because I don't have that time commuting home to listen to audiobooks and decompress. How do you 'leave work at work' when you have a home office?

Supposed to be going to Aruba on August 29th for a week (booked when they had like 12 cases total). They’ve upped some restrictions (masks, no more than 4 people at a table, etc) but after messaging a ton of restaurants and beach bars, still seem to want visitors and it would be similar to going to a beach here in the US. Would you still go? (PCR test prior to arrival and no big plans beyond sitting on a beautiful beach)

Anyone else in a relationship that’s divided politically? I try to avoid the topic since I don’t think politics necessarily defines who we are, but he constantly brings it up and it almost feels intentional at times to get a reaction. Especially when it’s things he knows we disagree on. Tbh I’m glad election season is about to be over.

Would you leave a top tier PR agency (arguably the best) for a smaller agency for a title change upgrade and $17K pay raise? Money sounds really nice, but also thinking about overall growth and opportunity and would appreciate insight.

Anyone have any good psychology book recommendations? I’m trying to learn more about myself and find psychology interesting.

Has anyone ever clapped back at a partner over passive aggressive bullshit? What were the consequences? Not worried about making partner here and considering just calling someone out to their face but it's someone who will definitely be on my annual review. V30 firm.

So this is less of a confession and more of a question. Four weeks into a new job and within the first days I realized the title/role was a bait and switch. Brought this to attention of HR...

I sharted myself at the office today and threw away my undies.

I‘m jealous Ryan Reynolds didn’t have to triple bid his Aviation Gin response to Peloton, or spend 3 weeks doing it, or have a cost consultant and legal department rip it to mediocre bits in the end.

Wrote a “per my last email” email today. I simultaneously love/hate myself.

Itching to post a real glassdoor review about an agency to balance out the gold star reviews the owner basically asked staff to consider. Because I feel like a reality check is needed. But the guilt

The existential dread of the blank page allows for certain leeway in attitude...

"Business professional" strolls in business casual with the second button undone, not gonna lie I like his style, might have to change the interviewing requirements, sport coats are out if you ask me

I’m glad I didn’t listen to my former creative partner and friends who said they had one or two more agencies in them before going in-house. I said fuck it it’s time and god damn. I am never going back.

Need friends/mentors in Chicago..
I work out, go to work, and go out with random people.SOS

A junior level HR person told me he makes 80k the other day and thinks he's extremely underpaid.

Is everyone just incredibly entitled now? or do I have a warped perception of $$ from growing up poor?

Ok so this woman is wearing a jumpsuit that: 1. Is very lowcut and she’s not wearing a bra. And 2. Puts her entire thong on display through the material

I’m officially wearing whatever the fuck

I’m not even sure I LIKE advertising as a friend anymore.

Waiting for one of the four places I've had multiple interviews with to get a move on and actually make a decision. Hire me or not, just decide on something! The waiting is killing me...

Most of the ads are bad. Most of the creatives are bad. What is going on.

The day I stop working 80 hour weeks is the day I fill out those time sheets I have in backlog from March. If you want them so bad fill them in yourself or give me the time to actually do it.

I’ve been laid off since September. Got an interview today. Really could use some good vibes sent my way. I gotta nail this sucker.

Anyone else feeling massive hypocrisy in google and Facebook convincing clients that money spent of TV IS WASTED...only to spend BILLIONS ON TV when they really need to get something across?

Was it just me or did DT seem legit scared in his press conf today? Like not his usual “if you even dare question me “ and nothing seemed “terrific” or “incredible” anymore
