I'm watching the March Madness games and seeing the old Geico crying pig spot a lot. Not complaining, it’s better than anything else airing during the games. I'm just curious about how that decision is made and why only that particular one. I remember other ads from the campaign that were also great. The Martin Agency

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

I’m currently in sales and got an offer from BCG. Now that I accepted, I feel like grass is greener on the sales side - but I also feel like I HAVE to at least try consulting before I decide it’s not for me. Thoughts?

Currently a big 4 consultant and got an offer from FAANG for a strategy and ops role that would bring my total comp up 60%. I’m really grateful for the offer and really excited, however, I am also interviewing with MBB. It has always been a goal of mine to work for tier 1 strategy firm as I’ve always felt on the outside looking in at big4. I feel like most exit ops from strategy would be S&O industry roles but still can’t get these MBB firms out of my mind. Am I just overthinking this?
