What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!

Whenever I hear debates from the radical left and conservative right on gun control, it's always about Chicago being a war zone. It's crazy how far removed I am from it all in the suburbs. Kind of makes me feel a bit bad like I'm not really contributing to a better Chicago

Hi Fishes,

I am a QA engineer in an edutech company. I have an experience of 7.5 years (manual testing- database, front end, mobile and api testing).

I want to move to a BA role. I have good communication skills and an analytical mind. Below are 3 of my biggest questions.

1. Is it too late to switch to a BA role?
2. What are the skills,tools or certifications required?
3. How should I approach a job opening, given that I have no work experience as a BA.

Pls do pitch in your thoughts

Thoughts on computer based vs paper based? I’m taking L1. Time being shorter def sounds like a plus. Are we gonna be the collateral damage of a fresh experiment lol?

Just found out there is a dude with literally zero experience in the industry making more money than me, and I've been asked by the C-Suite to "mentor and train" him. What? No you motherfuckers.

Junior designer here looking to connect with some Philly-area shops— I’m from the area and have recently been trying to learn more about the local agency scene. Would love it if people could drop some names or even some recruiter info. Thanks!!

I’m a strategist interested in branding shops like interbrand. But I hear they aren’t doing well these days since everyone claims to be a brand consultant. Also I’m curious about the work

Anybody have success requesting to go from 100% on one account to 50/50 or at least floating around a bit more? Any tips welcome 🙏

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.

In your opinion, what advertising/branding/experiential agencies should someone targeting greater San Diego and Los Angeles go after? (Yes, it is very expensive to live in California)

Thinking about IMC at Medill. Any alums? Anyone with direct experience? Thoughts on this? Would Kellogg be a better bet?

If you got fired tomorrow, how long can you go without a paycheck? Assume you get 1 week of pay for every 6 months worked, and then can do unemployment after that ($425 a week)

Too late in life to start a cult? Getting kind of old for advertising.

Which do you prefer?

“Give me a deadline and I’ll get the work done”
or

“when I get this done I’ll let you know and we can figure out when the client will see it.”

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

What's the best website that lists out current agency client rosters? (I've seen this before on FB but can't find the thread. FB - please add search functionality!!)

Okay let's say I got a job in the marketing department at Netflix. Would it be a plus to have a company like them on my resume, or make it harder to get back into an agency later on?

Remember The Woo? Yeah, me neither. Well, they cut everyone’s pay (except mgmt of course) by 1/4 to get the small biz gov loan, and used it to hire a $500k/yr mgmt head. Agency still working barebones
