Just wrote a post about AI + Offshoring's effect on ad talent and I'm curious to get your take on:
Is advertising still an industry to recommend to the next generation? What’s the future of ad talent living in the most expensive cities like LA, SF, and NYC? Are AI and offshoring shrinking the ad industry?

What's the hiring process like for a littler case smart attorney? Is it easier to get a case smart position compared to an associate position? Not that I want to be an associate there, but just trying to see if I have a solid chance.

I have a second interview tomorrow. I already spoke with the partners and now I’ll be speaking with some associates. Any tips on what I should discuss and what questions should I ask?

A little frustrated that I have friends who persistently ask for discounts or free products. If you can't actually support my business when it's just getting started, wait until you can instead of asking me to lower my prices for you.

When you're pretty sure it would be easier to survive Game of Thrones as a main character for 6 seasons than to rewrite the 40 page walkthrough correctly. 🙄🙄💀💀

Passed my last CPA exam!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Do a lot of seniors in the advisory groups work weekends? I am coming from a group that has busy seasons sometimes we don't get a day off for a few weeks before the deadline. 80-100 hour weeks for me.

Can a newspaper use my photo without my consent?

I'm not a reporter, I'm just a citizen who took a picture during an event and uploaded it to my social media account. Turns out a digital media wrote me to have permission to use my picture, and when I said yes, they said they were looking for some other picture because I had already given permission to the competitors, which I didn't.
They just posted it without asking me, letting me know, or even mentioning my credits. Is this legal?

What skills or abilities do you believe are the most important to have/demonstrate in order to move from Copywriter to Sr. Copywriter?

Has anyone experienced difficulties with speech/thinking through taking anti-depressants or from suffering with long term depression? I first started noticing difficulties in articulating my thoughts at university and my career in consulting has only made this more prominent. I feel embarrassed, really depressed and incompetent because of this. This is one of the greatest anxieties I have regarding my performance and I find it is really effecting my development.

Salary for senior copywriter in Chicago. 6 years experience at big agencies? Good book but no lions yet.

Any suggestions on how to save a alcoholic spouse?

Today my boss told me I need to work on showing my frustration directly to people. She mentioned a meeting THREE weeks ago where, during a meeting, I said one single thing that showed I was unhappy with not being included in a particular meeting (for a project I was leading), and my tone made it clear I was unhappy about it. She said the person I “called out” didn’t even bring it up to her; it was what she “noticed.” Cont’d...

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩

Is it normal for every single call (client or internal) everyone dials in from their desks at an open format office? Everyone avoids takings calls together/conference rooms like the plague.

New job.
Moved from agency after 6yrs, into a startup (€8m Series A, high growth); first marketing hire. My manager is ex VC, seems to like managing by fear, let’s fire X, let’s cut the agency etc. sets tight deadlines & adds urgent items last minute. Others seem to feel I’m doing great but I am butting heads with him constantly about unrealistic workloads etc. Really not enjoying interacting with him, thinking about leaving... should I stick it out? I feel like I’m being abused, but need money!

Funny to see how men are trying to post shit about DMA...

My girlfriend works in branded content. She is out having dinner with the production crew after they wrap eating dinner. She makes a comment how she wished she brought her swimsuit to go swimming cont

Thoughts and best practices on sharing examples of strategy work to a hiring manager at an agency under the same holding company as my current agency? How much should I blind the work? What are some rules to remain legally compliant? Or should I avoid altogether?

Just interviewed somewhere that’s considered a great agency and who’s work I LOVE, but it didn’t feel right... it went really well, but something doesn’t feel right. Advice???

Thanks, legal! You really saved our bacon. Who knows the risk we would’ve exposed ourselves to if we said “enjoy” instead of “possibly enjoy” in that organic social media post.

Got an offer, made a counter, they came back and said they’re keeping their offer where it is.

Jobs ok. Could use the benefits. Offer was below market.

Thoughts?

How do you politely tell a recruiter that you do not offer “holds”

Anytime a client says “thanks for the creative thinking” just know they’re going to kill everything.

Is it okay to call a sick day as freelancers?

Hey everyone, as a young strategist, my goal has always been to go client side/in-house. Seems like a different process thought. I’d love any insight or help on maximizing that process. Thanks so much

Love when you get passed over for the client side job and subsequently get served their banner ads for months.

newly-promoted ACD salary in NYC?

Most beautiful places to escape within three hours' driving of NYC? Forests, lakes, ocean, camping.

Genuinely curious. Does the week after follow-up email actually matter? Not the post interview thank you, but the "hey, just checking in" type.

Saturday night live is getting good again.
