With a screen name like that I am surprised. Feels like HR and AI are ghosting everyone like they are Cyberdyne Systems.

It's great for all the people that got laid off from W+K. They all got jobs like a week later.

It must just be you.

The industry has permanently contracted its going to be forever this size. The only way new jobs are coming is if people leave their current post. Godspeed to all those trying to break in / end an unemployment drought cause I fear we may all be cooked.

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment.

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.
