Is it reasonable to ask to discuss a salary increase after a 3 month contract getting extended? If so, what would be a fair percentage for me to ask for? I’m a junior and consider myself good with money, but my wages are so low that I’m struggling to get by. Any insight would be appreciated!

Have people gotten their bonus’ prorated in a year they were on parental leave? Any hunches to tell if it was more less than a straight prorate?

Hi All,

Can anyone tell how GPI (Global Pricing Innovations) company is? I've an offer of 9.5 L (Fixed) from them and TCS is providing 8.1LPA (variable included).

💲For those who DON'T think a six figure salary is possible:

👉Just ask for it. Really, you would be surprised. Might be easier to switch to a new company and ask. I did that 3 years into my career.

And 🛑 wasting your time at a company that under-values you severely. Sometimes switching companies every 2 years or so will allow you to keep raising the bar for yourself.

Hi Sharks,

Has any of you attended interview with ServiceNow company? I am shortlisted for second round, want to know what to expect in 2nd round and what to prepare.

My ex and I have trouble remaining broken up. We’ve broken up over 9 times (9 times!). It’s dysfunctional, but we generally love being around each other and it feels comfortable. What to do? (Cont)

Workout before (4:30 am) or after (6:30ish) work?

I’m excited for my wedding but it’s almost 9 months away and I started planning it over a year ago. However, whenever I’m around friends/family it’s the only thing people want to talk to me about. It’s constant and generally there’s not many updates to give & I’d just rather talk about other things. I work full time & I’m in school right now so I’m stressed about those things and I don’t know how to communicate that I’d just rather not talk about the wedding without sounding ungrateful/happy

Has anyone ever outsourced a portion of their own work and passed it off as their own? I would love to hear some stories...

When to break-up with someone? I’ve been dating my gf for 6 years (2 long distance 1yr on a break and 3 living together. Nothing terrible about the relationship but I’m not happy and no longer feel in love. I’ve tried working it out but haven’t felt the relationship has gotten any better. I feel at this point the best thing to do for both of us is split (she shouldn’t be with someone that can’t love her fully). So here’s the options continued…

Hi Account friends! It’s the start of a new year and I was hoping you all could share any book / newsletter / blog / course recommendations that help keep you up to snuff. Feeling a bit stale and like the last year has been a tactical grind.

Comment your favs and THANK YOU in advance!

Dogs in offices are cool, but who's offering some comfy siesta benefits? 😴💤

Which do you prefer?

“Give me a deadline and I’ll get the work done”
or

“when I get this done I’ll let you know and we can figure out when the client will see it.”

Do agencies rent spaces out in places like WeWork to give teams some autonomy away from the office?

Kudos to the man on the train next to me who has his ticket around his neck, his glasses in his hand and a full sleeping mask on. 😴

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.

Interviewing client side for the first time, what are some good questions to ask that one might not think about at an agency?

Dan Lucey is freaking awesome. But can Havas NY be saved?

If I applied to a company and sent a message to the recruiter on LinkedIn, but they haven’t accepted my connection request or responded to my message, should I follow up with an email a week later? Trying to find the line between enthusiastic and being a weirdo.

I think another offer might be coming soon but I really want a shot at this job.

Anyone participate in the 4A's Institute? Philly presentations are coming up this week! Any recommendations?

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

How did your agency handle layoffs? All-agency meeting before they started? After they ended? Both?

Kinda sorta trying to predict if I’m losing my job tomorrow.

Still really want to know how that Strategist's conversation with the boss went today.

“Can we change all the instances of ‘we’ in the script to be [our brand name]? Just to remind my listener who we are throughout.” 🙄

I've seen quite a few people make jokes about being "aged out" of advertising. Could someone please explain what that looks like and when that typically happens? Forgive the dumb question, I'm a newbie to the industry so I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't agencies want people with more experience?

Craziest offsite ever. Go.

When choosing company health plan level options, (they pay mine not family’s) do you go for the gold (low deduct/co-pay) silver or bronze(high deduct/co-pay)?
