Salary in advertising: "does just barely above the federal poverty line work for you? It's the best we can do right now but maybe new business will come in soon." Salary in Tech: "as long as you're not dumb or living in the Bay Area ( see: dumb) you could retire by 40 if you wanted to."

This is very true....currently interviewing in tech and the culture fit checks are intense

Most of my interviews have included informal meetings with the other creative teams I'd be working with. Whether it's all at once or a couple different 15-30 minute chats.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

Any advice welcome!

Hi fellow fishies - loaded question but does anyone know of any agencies (ideally in NYC) that are open to visa sponsorship?

Any info/advice appreciated! Thank you 😊
