Is it me or does Ogilvy announce new C-level leadership like every three weeks?

I’m looking into exiting consulting and moving into product management. Picked up a few books to read. Would a PM certification provide a lot of value? Any other tips are appreciated! Thank you.

I just had the initial call with HR. I was told that Senior Analysts start at 56k and Business Operations Specialists start at 67k. I was told the next step was Junior Manager but they rarely started anyone at that level. I'm shocked. Is that accurate or are they trying to lower my expectations? I have an MBA and an MHA and 20 years military experience.

Please like my post, trying to unlock DMs. Much appreciated!

Is it normal for senior managers to ask you to cancel leaves or to nit apply leaves in EY GDS? My manager told in all hands meeting yesterday to not apply leaves during tear end. Won’t this become a hr issue?

Buntin Group in Nashville - is this a reputable agency? What’s the good/bad/ugly on this place?

Somebody please in tomorrow’s WPP Global Townhall meeting ask if they’re going to give us a cost to living inflation raise. A bonus. Gas cards. Anything. They are taking questions. I don’t have the balls. I can’t go through another meeting hearing them brag that WPP has earned millions and millions.

How do you find joy in a business where you’re told “no” 100 times a day?

This may sound odd, but can you run an agency without an ECD/CCO?? (Asking for a friend)

Been at a new job for a couple of months. Overall it’s been disappointing and I’m starting to feel anxiety for the future. I feel this way because I’ve just been working on one account I really don’t feel will create anything book worthy and I’m afraid that I will have nothing to show after a year. I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)

Dumb question.. what’s the proper etiquette for when you get a job through a recruiter who reached out to you first? A simple thank you email, a Starbucks gift card, etc?

My new agency’s healthcare plan only has ONE physician in NYC listed as in-network... is a plan this limited the norm?!

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?
