Is focusing on cool projects as a freelancer setting me up for career instability in the future? I don’t want to climb the ladder and distance myself from the work. I love the work.

I am currently working as a PayPal AWF/CW in contractor's payroll for the past 3 months. I heard many got converted from AWF to FTE. So what is the process for FTE conversion? Should I clear some Interviews? Also how much would the salary increment be? On par with regular hiring? Any minimum time limit of being in AWF before FTE conversion?

Just wondering, any Ismailis out here?

Is it normal that being in the same position I get paid less than my partner? Even if I brought her into the agency? She has more experience but imo we’re both in the same creative/thinking level.

The tide really turned in the election tonight. Biden was horrible at sharing a vision for the future.

FDD people who are not interested in pursuing the partner route, what would be the best title to exit? Senior/Manager/Senior Manager?

When are the hike letters released in capgemini.
Also which month joiners of 2022 will be eligible for hike.

Best place to live considering weather, cost of living, & job opportunities for a young family? International is fair game.

How’s the match making going? 😁

Like this post if you want to TP one of Sir Martin's houses with me.

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.

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?

Community Manager: Outdated term for social. What would you rebrand it as for a more real-time & accurate description of life in social? 🤔

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.

Didn’t know who the CCO is when I was asked about it in an interview... is there anything I can do to redeem myself? I feel like I really dropped the ball on this lol

Anyone find themselves waking up with a migraine, naseau, and throwing up Saturday after a work week? Been happening to me for almost 4 weeks straight now

Hi friends, I am reading this book ‘radical cander’ and was wondering if you have Fav way/ example of receiving and giving tough feedback? Or have any stories about feedback that have stuck with you through your career.

Weekend chatter. What movie makes you cry every time you watch it? And what scene? I'll start: perks of being a wall flower when he calls his sister when she's at the party

I know, I know I shouldn’t complain but it HATE my job. My mental health has never been worse. And I’m so so beyond unhappy. Any advice to get through this seeing as the job market might be difficult to navigate at this time?

Hypothetically, what might happen, if Strat said to fishbowl they needed a virtual hug? Other than CD potentially saying something snarky and mean ...hypothetically only.

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.

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)

Here’s to hoping the start of the new Serena Lincoln navigator ad is the end of the Mathew mcconaughey Lincoln Navigator ads

Has anyone received a job offer after being initially ghosted by recruiter? How long did you not hear from them? Feeling down after not hearing anything for 2 weeks after a round of seemingly promising interviews.

I just want to write one weird/funny commercial. That's it. Then I can quit this business. Why is this so fucking hard?

Which portable standing desk converters do people have and recommend. I live in a tiny NYC apartment so use my dining table as the office during the day but need to put it away at night.

Our industry needs to change the way it does recruiting. We make it impossible for people to apply directly to agencies. Relying on employee referrals gets good "culture fits" at the cost of diversity

Calling all managers with junior, intern and mid teams: Who is taking (or is being given) the time to train their juniors on the necessary hard and soft skills? If not, what’s stopping you from providing that support?

Calling all tech obsessed 🐠! Thoughts on Chromebooks? My mom needs a new laptop and absolutely loves the simplicity / app-based nature of her iPhone, but I can't afford to buy her a Mac. TIA!
