I’ve felt like this industry and job have been destroying me for years, but never have the capacity to explore less stressful avenues. Any ideas for roles / industries that aren’t as dehumanizing as working in ad land?

Go to market PMO on client side. I made the switch and service a business team working on software products. It’s been a few months and already seeing so many green flags compared to ad agency life!

I've been trying to find this, too, and it's really challenging! Faced with huge salary cut that sometimes isn't enough to live on or lack of experience. I've applied to some non-profits but not much luck yet. Also, small or privately-owned agencies that aren't huge conglomerates might be a little better than giants like Grey and others. Or working on the brand side, in-house agencies.

Would like some thoughts on a 2-br NYC condo my husband and I are considering. $250K HHI (no kids). No loans or debts, both have newish cars fully paid off.

Offer would be for $725K, with 10 percent down. 30yr mortgage @5%. We would need to include closing costs in the mortgage, to keep about $10k liquid. Monthly costs will be about $5k.

This unit is special, very rare (we’ve rented in the area for 10 yrs and know the local market well). Should we go for it?

Does anyone here have an experience of filing an EB1A or NIW petition. A law firm suggested me to first do a NIW petition and then follow it up with EB1A. Is it a good strategy to do it this way because NIW is more certain and gets a place in the line? Am I missing something? Should I instead file an EB1A directly?

Also, any good law firm suggestions for EB1A petitions based academic credentials? Thanks for the help

Hi All- I’m looking for a super simple time tracking platform to integrate with Asana for a team of 5. All we need it for is to see how much time is going into different projects that our department is managing. That’s it. No billing/invoicing/don’t care about time sheets, etc. We just need the ability to track and pull a report at the end of each month. Anyone have recommendations?
