I’ve been at my current agency for a year, and it seems like promotions only go to those who “put in the time” vs. being based on performance. I’m doing great with my accounts, but am I wasting my effort if I just need to “wait my turn”? How do you navigate these types of companies?

It’s my birthday today. Let’s have a party this week 🥳

How much is the fixed base and CTC range for a newly promoted M1?

Hello

What is notice period for EY GDS? (60/90 days)

Anyone heard good things about CFGI? I’ve heard their comp structure is gimmicky with overtime pay. But if I could make the same base there as I do in big 4 with the chance of some overtime pay is it worth it to give it a shot?

Is it worth it to buy a multi-family home to rent out?

I am holding two offers :
Wells Fargo: 33 lpa
PWC ac Bangalore: 33 lpa
Yoe: 8.3
Which company should i join considering job security, future growth , brand etc.

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?

Which company would you choose in the Bay Area - Zynga or Fitbit? Reason?
If none is better feel free to say..

How is everyone’s workload? I was insanely busy the last month but the past week or so has slowed significantly.

Anyone buying any stocks tomorrow AM? If so what?

Anybody here belong to Midtown Athletic Club? Just joined a couple months back, I love it.

Those of you with 50%+ of your comp in bonus, do you factor that in when budgeting living expenses? Obviously we expect it but bonuses are never guaranteed.

Heya, what is the typical range for a C and SC at Deloitte within the Data and Analytics Practice?

Series A crypto start up hiring a sales account executive in SG. 5ish years experience. You will be leading the region. Targeting financial institutions. DM if you’re interested! Happy to chat about the company.

Account executive here, who has about 5 years of agency experience. Who else is completely over working in advertising and what steps are you taking/planning to make a career move?

Not looking to make a move anytime soon due to covid but am curious to what everyone else is thinking.

Question for those involved in pricing / P&L management: what is your overhead / cost / profit breakdown?

I’m curious to see how standard this is across agencies. For example, what I have seen is:

Overhead (including exec salaries) - 40%
Project Labor / Costs - 40%
Profit - 20%

What have you experienced?

I have overall 3 years of post grad experience but 2 years of AE experience. Is it unrealistic to apply for Senior AE roles? How about Account Supervisor?

Who else started with small businesses and moved up to medium and large at agencies structured to handle it? I handle 40 clients and some 60 Content managers, ad managers, designers, developers, and a smattering of other positions.

Which was better? I have almost complete autonomy over what happens with small biz, but getting to focus on projects for more than an hour/month sounds nice.

What's one of the most important investments you've made in your career? Learning new skills? Changing companies? Getting an advanced degree? Things outside of work?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

Any account executives in NY from Deutsch or Wunderman Thompson that can answer a few questions ?

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….

I'm currently an SEO Analyst/Web Developer/Digital Marketer. Looking to be more client facing in the future. You think I have a chance in an Account Management role?

Transitioning to become an AE - how often do you guys typically travel (pre-covid)?

Any success stories of moving from accounts to being a broadcast producer, how was the transition? Thnx

What are some brands with an in-house agency? Looking to make a move to client side.

How often do scopes change? I thought it was normally on an annual basis with some exceptions but my CD is telling me they change constantly. Someone educate me…

What are the key skills that one needs to master to become a Acct Sup? Is it always do it first before being promoted? Or is most of it learning once you’re in the role?

Any fishies in MPLS and willing to share AE salary expectations?

Advice on the jump from AAE to AE? I’ve been doing AE level work for months and have been told by many managers that I should be promoted but it’s in the hands of the holding co..how long do I wait?

Hi everyone,

I'm going for a role for Account Director and have gone through the interviews with the head of accounts, BD as well as the ECD's. I received the following email at the end of the day:

"You are one of two candidates in the final round.

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."

What would be the best way to answer this response? Appreciate the help
