Tell your CC. Why would you want to screw your own employment history and burn bridges with one of the global big firms, just for a petty package...Think longer term, and be a nicer person.

You don't deserve a severance package - you made a choice to leave - you will get unused PTO - agree with others - your thought process about this is messed up.

IBM1, what's that? I don't think ACC has that?

A2, going back for my JD so I don't think I'll be coming back to consulting.

This is sad op

How many years have you been with the firm?

3 yrs. currently a consultant level

OP at the end of the day is your call. Not returning to consulting is one thing, but you will still have employment record of being fired. Also why would you want to bring trouble to your new CC for just a little bit of money? Do you hate him/her and the firm that much? I wish you a great career with a JD, but I am hoping you won't become a lawyer with an attitude of "money always comes first"...

That's messed up yo

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

I’m about to accept a position at an information services company for a marketing coordinator position.

It’s much more than what I’m making now, but I thought it would be smart to run this by you all before signing the dotted line. This would be my first time as a marketing coordinator—I’m bringing in 5+ years from an adjacent industry to the table, if that gives perspective. WDYT? Thank you!

I just listened to an interview of a creative director recount their path towards copywriting at a famous ad agency. It could not have been a more textbook case of failing upwards as a white man.

It would seem the only thing you need to make it as an advertising creative is to have lots of not particularly original ideas. Practically every other skill is unnecessary. If you’re a white man.

That this level of mediocrity passes for talent explains why so many agency briefs are so lame.
