I've been stagnant in my job after the first 3 months since I started. I've constantly asked for more work/tasks to learn more with the promise "it's coming" but it never does. I'm over a year and few months in my role and I'm checked out. I'm not even interested anymore as now I'm ready to leave and find another place where my growth matters outside of just words.

Hang in there. There are so many job posts now bc a lot of ad peeps just said fk it and left the biz. There is now a shortage of ad people/talent and this is now a great time to look. You’re sign in says Havas. I get it, and get the fk outta there. It’s a shite agency. Good luck.

If you get a job where you are unfulfilled ever again, start by just doing the actual job you want, over and above what you are hired for - bring tons of new things to the table with excitement. You may not get the title w/ that particular company, but the people you work with will remember what you did and recommend you in the future.

Hey fellow designers,

Is anyone else facing the brunt of working in a service based company and trying to move to a startup product company being dragged down by the 90 days notice period.

I have had a couple of interviews with good startup product companies where the main issue is my 90 days of notice period. Most startups simply run away at the mention of 90 days NP.

Even established product companies shy away at this. Has anyone recently switched despite this long a notice period?

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

I have a contact who is a hiring mgr at a company I want to work for. He told me he has an open role for me and set me up with 6 interviews over a 2 week period. They all went really well and HR said I’ll most likely be moving forward to a site visit. But now my contact has ghosted me. After I made 3 outreaches he had his aa schedule time for two weeks out. Why am I being iced?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
