It’s hard to get agreement (right?) and getting head nods is key (right?) so you look for validation and ramble on (right?)...Sir, I tuned out at the first “right”. Please leave.

There needs to be some kind official, accreditation that would preclude just anyone from working in this industry. The problem is that any charlatan can weasel his or her way in, start spouting guff and buzzwords, and suddenly end up in the c-suite. But with a system in place to test people’s knowledge of the tried and true principles of advertising, clients could know whether they’re hiring an accredited agency or not and could therefore avoid the snake oil salesmen, jargon monkeys, and Vaynerchucks that have sullied everyone.

I’m bummed the “consultant-speak” has infiltrated agencies. Nobody talked like that ten years ago

I’m right, right? That’s what asking “right?” Keeps saying, that I need you to agree with me or at least pretend you know wtf I’m talking about..right?

Yes this ^

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
