Is San Francisco really that sucky? I’m about to accept a job there and I’m wondering if it’s a huge mistake. I’m a city person, zero desire to live in a small town/‘burbs, fully aware of dangers of city living, ok with high taxes. Would it still suck?

Just curious are there any EAs in the Las Vegas, NV area and what are your salaries?

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.
I work at an MSP (Managed Service Provider) meaning we are the IT services for many other companies. It’s busy all the time and I get to experience all different types of apps, OSes, and almost every aspect of IT in this way. I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.

Embarrassed. Sometimes I sit in media mtngs & don’t understand stuff I assume is basic. I work for an ATL ad agency as a senior strat. Is there somewhere I can do a crash course in media buying?

At Johnny’s Hideaway in ATL. Ask me anything.

Anyone here familiar with good neighborhoods in the south Charlotte area to buy a home especially say a townhouse? Currently I am based in Atl but could move to Clt next yr. Looking for a home buy early career.

Travel noob question. Is status on AA or DL more valuable. Doing a DCA-ATL run for a deployment. AA is bigger in DCA. DL has more ATL flights and more alt travel options. Which FF program is better?

Hey everyone, would 12/23 afternoon not a bad time for holiday travels? Booking for a flight for my parents from overseas to LAX ,trying to avoid crazy busy afternoon.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Anyone have lines on directing gigs (comedy or otherwise)? I'm finishing a long-term job and looking to next year. I've won several awards for sorry films I've made, have creative producing experience, and am a very strong writer. Also, loads of spirits brands in my portfolio. Can go freelance or if someone is looking to add to their rosters, I'm totally down. Thanks!

I joined Accenture few days back as level 9. Till now didn't get any project. I have one more offer from another company and have not told them that I joined Accenture.
Should I wait for Accenture to allot me project or shall I abscond?
I am worried since I joined Accenture as level 9 team lead and what if they fire me? Or map to some irrelevant project?

I am fed up of my people lead/supervisor
Gives unrealistic deadlines, has no time for discussion and next day he is up with his nagging behaviour

Doesnt even know how to talk in a certain professional manner, fed up with his nagging behaviour.

And yeah forgets everything! Need to remind him each and everytime about the tasks and boom, then he comes up with his negative demotivating statements!

I’m pretty passive when I’m disrespected by creative but I think it sets a bad example for my team. If any of my reports were spoken to the way I was I’d raise hell...how set example?

She is looking for a TV/film/production internship for this summer and I was hoping someone could help give her a referral to an internship 🥺 She has been diligently networking and searching for internships for over half a year.

Anyone know much about Simon-Kucher? I have an offer for SC there for $125k base with all-in TC for the year expected $165-175k. Currently a CO with 3-4 YOE, and considering making the move. I think CO at my firm is the equivalent to SC at B4
