Is there any question in advertising press interviews that is more irritating than “where do you get your ideas” or “how do come up with good ideas”?

I wish more people would answer ad interview questions the way Bill Belichick handles reporters.

How do you come up with these ideas?
"It's my job."

Care to elaborate?
"Not really."

Where do you see the future of advertising headed? "My focus is on next week."

But if you had to guess?
"I'll let someone else answer."

I currently make 78k at Lockheed but I’m not doing what I’d like to be doing and i felt stuck and after many conversations with my manager and no solution in sight, I started applying elsewhere. I just recently got an offer from a smaller AI company for 95k that I plan to accept. I’m happy to make the jump, I just don’t know how my manager/coworkers will react when I tell them I’m leaving.

Hi Fishes, Pls help,
YOE: 13 yrs

Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter, to be approved by L4), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa. After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).

I don't have any other offer as of now. What should I do?
