Looks like Colleen DeCourcy came out of retirement.

Think I’m done with dating apps unless it’s tinder to get laid. I am 30 been on them since I was 22 and find them to be such a waste of time. I’ve met some descent people on The League, but that’s not how I’m going to find the “one”. I am going to concentrate on joining groups that I enjoy and being outgoing. Time is precious I’m just burned out on apps - anyone else feel the same way? I was recruited by a match maker I’m going joint that lol

Hi! I’m just looking for advice about getting into the industry. I recently graduated and I can’t get any traction when it comes to job applications and interviews. I’m applying like crazy, using Jobscan, messaging recruiters, etc. Also, I have a awesome portfolio and resume. But I keep getting told I don’t have enough experience.

Btw, I’m applying for Jr graphic design, Jr art direction and internships positions.

Any advice appreciated!

Put in my notice and am being asked to stay longer to help wrap some things up. Can I negotiate bonus payout because I’m basically going to be here the full year? Bonuses paid in March.

Have a question to Asians here. I’m mid-30s from Asia and am making lower end of 6 figures currently. My older sister was making more than I did until a few months back and lost one job due to covid so is now not making much. But she is married and has a house and a car of her own. She spends a lot of money on herself and buys gifts to her boyfriends/lovers. I just found out mom is going through major surgery in my home country and it costs nearly 6k. I asked if she wanted us to help her pay.

Looking at hiring candidates from our US office - I'm based in London. What's your experience with Client Service levels between the two countries? e.g. US Account Supervisor is a UK...?

Would you rather have a team who is good at turning okay scripts into fun charming videos or a team who can write great scripts but can’t really finish them that well and so they’re boring videos?

Anyone signed an offer in this climate and then gotten a much better one soon after starting at the new place?

What do I do? New offer is a career-defining place, current offer is great $$$.

If your out of office is fewer than 2.5 hours and we don’t have a big deliverable or client meeting at that time, then I don’t need to know. Just block your calendar and take the time you need.

If you’re that concerned about visibility, you either have way too much to prove or a manager who you need to escape from.

How many times a week do you ask yourself why you’re so terrible at advertising and why is it 1 billion?

@Downtown Manhattanites, who's your favorite in-Home dog sitter when you have to buzz out of town for a shoot?

If you use DJ Khaled in your TV spot, i will purposely avoid using or buying your product. So hacky. It wasn't even cool months ago when he was viral for a split second.
