Is it just my agency, or is closing time at 5 PM actually just the start of Phase Two? I see my Slack icons stay green until 9 PM every single night, and if I log off at a normal hour, I feel an incredible amount of guilt. Nothing we do is so urgent that it requires a Tuesday night crisis meeting at 8 PM. How do we break the always on culture?

It’s all agencies. You need to decide whether you want to participate in it or not. That’s why I left the agency world. We’re not curing cancer. And if they let you go for not working ridiculous hours it wasn’t the right place for you!

Be the change you want to see. I stopped working late and low and behold, nothing bad happened. Just test it.. commit to going a few weeks with boundaries and you'll see how everything is fine, the work gets done and no one is mad at you.

I also think it depends on company. I manage an international team so it’s not unusual for me to be seen on online at strange hours, but you’re not gonna see me on at 9 AM.

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on.

Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?

We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.
