IPG and Omnicom people: how are you feeling about this merger?

I feel like people at my agency are dropping like flies trying to get out before it goes through.

I don't work there personally but I have a friend who did. She got the heck out of there because of the merger. I think she was afraid she may not have a job later if she didn't get out.

I’m seeing prices for watches that used to depreciate heavily pre-2020 - but suddenly began to hold value because of the Rolex craze - tank like crazy. IWC, Panerai, Omega etc. you name it. Finally!!!!

Hi ,
I have 8+ years of experience and UKG has offered me 18 LPA fixed plus 10% variable. Is this fine for 8+ yoe ?
And they were offering me some amount for buy out but things didn't work on out at my current company ,so now can I ask ukg to give that amount to me as joining bonus ? Please reply.

What’s the best thing I could buy for my old man’s birthday for about $10k? Would go Rolex (since he knows Rolex) but would prefer new, which limits my options there. Looking for something a little sporty, with a bracelet, and waterproof (100m should suffice). Nothing bombastic like a Panerai, but something a little more exciting than say a Datejust? And not Grand Seiko - he’s gonna think it’s like $50 and lose it :(
