Looks like it's a bad time to be in digital media. I heard it was a bloodbath at the Daily Wire. Up to 60% of their team was laid off.

Uber Eats Wrapped. A summary of all the stress eating you did while working from home…

Anybody knows about new law about OPT-EAD individuals should be hired by a direct employer who pays their salary? Will it be an issue in the future if I am only hired on a contract basis?

any talent hub users? Love it, hate it?
Mid sized shop is trying to save $$$ and using it as an ATS, but it doesn’t seem to deliver (IMO)…. What are the pros?

Happy weekend everyone

Hi Fishes, i am new here need 12 likes to access chats and dm

Any 🐠 attending the Pilgrimage Festival in Nashville this weekend?

Currently 1 YOE tech consulting at Deloitte looking to make a hop to more strategy type roles and came across the strategy analyst development program- 1. is this only for fresh undergrads from specific schools or would I be able to apply? 2. What’s the compensation at this level? (worried I might have to take a pay cut). Also would appreciate any remarks regarding the program in general. Thanks!

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does. I see a lot of open roles - managers, senior strategists etc. I have a top 20 MBA and about 8 years of big 4 experience in consulting - would this be the right kind of role to get into? Or is it more engineering?

How often do people actually go into the office? I’m about to get an offer as a CE and I live about 90 minutes from the office. Google will give me relocation but if I just need to go in 1-2 a week, I’d be open to stomaching the commute. Any info would be helpful!

Anyone in gTech willing to chat?

When I will get the project details in tcs as I am lateral will be joining in a month?
Is there any project refusal policy in tcs? When I can get any clear picture of project or unit?

Hi Fishes I have a offer from Crisil for a Senior QAR Role and they are offering a package of 30% and joining business if I can join within 15 days. Is this a good offer or what can i stretch the ctc to. If anyone aware please guide on the ctc

Hi... Anybody working here working for Deloitte Touche, Mumbai??? Have an offer to Join... Not much reviews abt the company are present online... Want to know about culture and WLB... WFH prospects??

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

How are hours at big 4? In strategy/transaction teams

The agency I work at has been struggling for more than 1.5 years. A mass exodus ensued naturally. Do I stay or go too? I'm not that unhappy and things have to get better?

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

Year in search was a little off the mark, no?

You ever have one of those days where nothing is going your way, and then you buy some ice cream to bring home, and then the ice cream falls on the floor?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Next time I have a meeting my Senior Manager, I may just snap and tell him that instead of constant nitpicking and giving hurtful, blunt feedback, how about acknowledging sometimes for a change?

Which do you prefer?

“Give me a deadline and I’ll get the work done”
or

“when I get this done I’ll let you know and we can figure out when the client will see it.”

Has anyone received a job offer after being initially ghosted by recruiter? How long did you not hear from them? Feeling down after not hearing anything for 2 weeks after a round of seemingly promising interviews.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

What about Italy? Anyone working there?

Got laid off. Just started at the agency. Was so excited because it’s a great shop. Now what?

What health/pharma agencies are in SF?

Best (non-agency) company to work at in Boston??

Looking to learn more about the people behind the agencies. Could anyone tell me who’s actually driving the best work at:

-WK
-Droga5
-Martin
-Goodby Silverstein

Feel free to call out any top talent from an agency not listed above.

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.

Are Droga or Anomaly open to sponsoring work visas for mid-senior folks outside of the US?

Vayner? Anomaly? Ogilvy? Which one to jump to? Account Mgtm!

Like this post if you want to TP one of Sir Martin's houses with me.

Thinking about IMC at Medill. Any alums? Anyone with direct experience? Thoughts on this? Would Kellogg be a better bet?
