Looks like BBDO LA had some layoffs. Was is just that office or BBDO across the US?

SRG just laid off a bunch of people. Who is hiring out there?

Does anyone have any insights about the layoff rumors at Morgan Stanley?

I can't help but notice that the most touted exit opps mentioned here are all 'G&A' positions - S&O, CorpDev, Strat, etc. Aren't these positions the first in line to go come layoff time? Prod Management seems like it would be more insulated from layoff pressure (so long as your P&L is in the black) though even that could come under budgetary pressure.

What would be an example of 'layoff-proof' exit opp?

When you say your salary jumped __x, how is that exactly calculated?

Mine was $16k (minimum wage before joining corporate) > $40k (contractor total before getting laid off) > $150k (current FT)?

Is that a 260% jump or 2.6x from $16k to $40k?
And a 375% jump or 3.75x from $40k to $150k?

Or do I calculate it by hourly rate?

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

If you get fired due to performance issues can you still file for unemployment? If so, will you get enough money for rent and food?

What if Elon Musk replaces Rajesh Gopinathan as the CEO of TCS?
All the useless managers will be fired?

All these layoffs reminding me that loyalty is dead

I'm thinking I won't be getting promoted if not laid off at the end Q2 or sooner. What are some good exit ops for an associate with 2 yoe in tech consulting? Exp in Cloud, PMO, IT Risk, and SoD.

A friend was told their firm will cut ties EOY if certain things don’t improve. Friend had planned to quit in the next year anyway (to start their own business), so there is no real incentive to bend over backwards. Friend’s goal is to keep the income for a little longer, but to minimize conflict / headaches. What’s the best move here? Wait until EOY and take the severance? Give 6 / 9 / 12 months’ notice now? Is there such a thing as too much notice? Could too much notice backfire?

My friend started a job as an account executive in early March, just got laid off today. Ouch.

Hi, I'm on my NP and I have 15 ALs to encash. How much will i get on 1 AL while encashing? How is this calculated?

Hi what all we need to do before joining ? I have taken the print out of all the forms that we need to submit but do we need to mail them to someone or do we need to submit the hard copy of that.

Monday morning always stress me out. Particularly with a very straightforward sr manager who points out something you missed in front of the whole team and client. 😫

Since suit shopping is hard enough, what suits fit the best? I love BOSS and Ann Taylor.

Any intel on BBDO Minneapolis? What’s it like working there? What’s the culture like?

I’m planning to have rolling flex tickets between two destinations. I want to decide dates on very short notice (<24hr).

Are there options like this ? And how do I avail them ?

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

Trying to figure out if I should start as an inbound SDR, or try jumping straight into an AE role in SaaS.

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.

Mid cap stock recs?

Potentially dumb question here: I am starting law school soon and will not be employed (net income of $0 assuming I don’t get a good summer internship next summer). Does it make sense for me to sell my personal investments next year (assuming my income will still be zero) so I’m paying a 0% capital gains tax rate? I’d just rebuy all of the same stocks immediately… am I missing something?

Does anyone have any info on the mastercard team at McCann NY? Any insight into the team, culture, or work would be very helpful. Thanks.

Chicago folks - favorite creative agency? Looking to make a move.

I’m feeling drained. Unmotivated, uninspired, & bored. My job takes all of my mental energy, but I can’t start looking for anything new yet. Any advice on how to handle a job that makes you miserable?

Are there any good groups/orgs in NYC for strategists? I’m not talking Meetup, but cultivated communities actual strategists have built from the ground up.

Anybody know the shop/designer doing the copy graphics with the “unfortunate” breaks? Been looking everywhere but can’t find them.

What’s the best agency to work at?

What’s the most unprofessional thing you’ve done in your career, publicly? I’ll go first, I openly talked shit about my CD during an edit and it got back to the CD and the CCO.

Recruiters or direct application?

What in the world is this old spice YouTube thing ?

Not sure what product this could be for but would love to see someone use the whole “10 years of wedded bliss” in an ad. You know, the married couple that constantly fights, or one partner that had an affair. But they still post about the “bliss” on their social media when anniversary time rolls around.

Maybe a packaged food good taking about real ingredients. Nothing fake.

I love how the version of AgencySpy we all miss has found a new home here.
