I’ve noticed that I only feel proud of my work when someone else compliments it. Does anyone actually feel internal validation at work, or is that a myth?

I do

When I've done good work I know it and I feel a sense of satisfaction. If someone else notices and compliments it, that's great, and I appreciate it. It's not necessary, however. I know if I've hit the mark I was aiming at regardless of whether anyone else does.

I teach advertising part-time for a college. I know I’ve put together a good course. The only time I hear from the dean is a complaint and that includes some students. Talk about thankless work, but I love teaching. Recently, I got an email from a student who landed a job at Disney. She thanked me for the best class she had in school.

Lots of of jobs have thankless roles. Measuring against a KPI or an objective helps me validate my work.

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website.

Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?

I’m interviewing for a start up and the role sounds interesting. Usually for the “test” part of the interview I’ve had to analyze data. This company wants me to develop a growth strategy that outlines key initiatives for growth, different opportunities, experiments I’d run, KPIs, and working cross-functionally.

Is this a lot for an interview?

I’m a little afraid of doing all this work to then just have them take my ideas and not hire me.
