It feels like complete gridlock. It's been this way for 9 months or more. NYC is utterly dead. Those hiring have dozens upon dozens of talent to choose from.

On top of that most positions are listing two or three jobs worth of must haves. And the creative jobs are so much more specialized for really niche work. The bar is so high, and submissions so dense, they won't bother to even respond unless you fit their Mr./Mrs. Right to a tee + bonus points.

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago.

I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…

Can someone explain how billable hours work?

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

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❤️
