Is there a difference between a Jr AD and an Associate AD? I don't mean the technical terms or "we prefer this term"... Just want to know if they are different ranks in the very large ad agencies. Thx

Lol thought so, just people play one higher than the other

No

Nope. Same same

Same thing. Makes my life hell as an ACD/AD, this stupid new “Associate Art Director” title name spoils my search results by getting all the keywords mixed in. Junior was fine, why did they get rid of it?

True, but I'm no inventor of titles

Do partners in other small firms often communicate through a paralegal & task the associate with signing a motion/stipulation to modify allocation of parental responsibilities? My boss is out and the paralegal asked if he talked to me about signing a stop that he promised the client he would file today. For context, this is a client from before I started, I know nothing about the case, and I only interacted with the client in one call because the paralegal was out. Partner did all the substance

Hi all- I have a total of 13 years of experience in analytics consulting for CPG and Retail clients, I’ve worked at BCG for 3 years in their analytics team at India. I had a question about Canadian salaries , is 230k CAD base a good number to be paid for someone with my experience, or it should be higher - the role is that of a director at an analytics startup, I’ve realized Retailers pay a whole lot less in general and definitely super low in Canada , any thoughts or advice?. much appreciated.

Hello folks,
I have an offer in hand by value labs and Accenture and I’m more leaning towards valuelabs. However, I’ve seen a lot of comment online which were made in 2022 and before as well that the job security is an issue in value labs and they will fire a chunk without any prior notice.
Is it true?
I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some on light on this.

News outlets report 95% of current employees are thinking of changing jobs. The ad industry had massive layoffs last year, so a lot of people are looking for work.

Yet agencies are reportedly having trouble finding talent.

Assuming you’re offering fair pay, if you can’t poach or find talent in this scenario, your recruiters are incompetent, or you’re being way too picky.
