Is anyone looking for an Account Executive in any ad agency in New York? LinkedIn is not working for me so wanted to shoot my shot here :)

Moving to the pharma side. What’s a normal range for NYC/ACD/9 years?

Someone talk me out of buying the C8 Corvette 😭 I make >$200k and am early twenties FWIW

Are Colorado-specific salary ranges even close to what I can expect in Chicago in general? Or are those completely made up?

Hello All,

I have job joining in UST in next. However, I'm having some concern. Could you please advise me on this.

I have some matrimonial disputes going on in court. Does it affect my job joining in UST?

I believe it's the employees personal matter and nothing to relate on job prospects (this is what i got as a reply from my previous employer)

Do I need to inform about my matrimonial disputes or should I keep quiet? How does background verification team consider this.

Hi Fishes,
I have to transfer my PF amount to the accenture PF account. My previous organisation was PF exempted organisation. Once I submit the online transfer should I send the hardcopy to Accenture as well

Your opinion of “reply all” emails?

1) genuine interest
2) signaling
3) overt office politics
4) other explain

Annoying, especially when they aren’t relevant to everyone in the cc line. Discuss

Please like so I can unlock DM's! Thank you! :)

Anyone working at a MM IB firm in Washington DC? Looking for some insight. Thanks!

I don't understand the point of hiring candidates. Its been more than two months and i am sitting idle. There is no updates from management. I am getting info like i will get half salary this month because of the bench policy. I m confused what to do next

No variable pay this quarter as well, congrats everyone.

Guys, I interviewed at amex gurgaon 10days ago and was told by VP that I will hear from HR very soon. But when I checked on HR yesterday, she said interviews are still in progress and it will take a week more to finalize.
I want to know do they take this long to close a position? This opening was posted on 30th Sep.. It's already been 1.5 months. This is when they said the position was urgent!! 🙄

I have heard very less flow of work in PWC AC’s. Does this mean recession impact has begun and they can start terminating employees on bench???

Does Kroll support a masters degree? Any tuition reimbursement or working with your schedule for night classes?

There’s an Art Director at my job who helped with a new business pitch and came up with the WORST headline construct without consulting me or any copywriter. (Cont)

Just applied for an apartment in my “dream building” prayers up for approval please 🙏🏾

Who else in NYC feels like they’re stuck in a rut and always tired? ☝️

What’s the worst advice you’ve ever gotten in this business?

Mine, as an account person: “You should take more credit for the creative that’s presented.”

How much does it cost the agency for a cannes entry?

Which holding company gets the best rental car discount? And which rental company?

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

What, exactly, are these Archive global creative "rankings" based on? I see people posting/humbled-and-honored'ing on LinkedIn and feel like posting that I'm the #17 CD/AD/Freelancer as ranked by both Better Homes & Gardens AND Cat Fancy Magazines.

Can you we have centennial week again next week? Just sayin it would be dopeAF

New to IT B2B marketing. Any advice on how to educate myself with IT? Any classes, books, etc. that you recommend?

“Can we change all the instances of ‘we’ in the script to be [our brand name]? Just to remind my listener who we are throughout.” 🙄

Confession: Sometimes I give money to homeless people that look like they might be an undercover billionaire looking for a kind soul to leave their fortune to. Does that make me a bad person?

Pretty tired of smart women undermining each other, especially seniors doing it to juniors. Why the hell is the first instinct to attack&destroy? Not into kumbayas but more into having my peer's back.

Enough with the nasty, DMA!

Branding people - how do ya'll feel about the new startup "Bodega" and its name? It's been all over the internet today.

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!!

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

How do we measure OOH these days? Anybody?

Practical advice on how to deal with a mansplaining colleague?? 🙄

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

VMLers, how's the all agency meeting?

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 🙏
