Love this Progressive commercial with the Motaur that plays every 15 seconds on Hulu, it’s so dumb. I’ve never made an intentionally dumb ad, just the ones that are supposedly heartfelt that are dumb.

Stopping by a Trader Joe’s today. Don’t have one close to us so it’s a rare treat. What’s the one must have item and why is it frozen chicken tikka masala?

Is anyone looking for a pair of tickets to Young The Giant at Red Rocks tomorrow night? Have a pair of reserved seats I can't use and don't want them to go to waste. Should be an awesome show.

Reading Untamed by Glennon Doyle and I want my own Abby!!! Sigh.....

Aloha instead of Halloween? We rarely get this many opportunities for free alcohol + snacks, so wondering if Dana is bait and switching us...

How did you get better at cooking? I'm a guy - never mastered the skill - but can recognize that only making pasta is probably not ideal.

Any cool gear/mods y’all can recommend?

Just watched office space again and realized it’s actually about the FIRE movement (without explicitly saying it)

Folks on H-1B: Does the 60 day grace period start from the employment end date, or from the date the last severance payment is made?

Our group recently began a mentoring program - 1st through 5th years get paired up with 6th year+ associates or partners and are encouraged to meet up (virtually) at least a couple times a month. I've never really had a proper mentor before - they've always been super formal and fizzled out after 1-2 sessions. I think it'll be different this time since I've worked with this person a lot and they seem eager to start, but I don't know what to talk about. What are good topics/questions to discuss?

A relative of mine passed out in CSE in 2012 with 80% but never worked before. She is looking to start her career now... Can anyone guide or suggest how to go about it ... Since most openings are freshly out of college graduates only.
Highly appreciate your time.

Have an interesting scenario. Holiday party season is approaching. At one of our parties (during working hours) there is an optional “talent show.” Employees can win door prizes. We have an entry that is a religious song - like one you would sing in church. I assume we need to let this employee perform this - or we are setting ourselves up for trouble. Likewise, if we permit this song, I assume we cannot compel attendance to the talent show. The talent show is part of a lunch thing.

Hi Fishes,

Any PowerBI consultants out there? Curious if the need for this is really out there, how lucrative it is, and what other skills help in your process (sql, python, etc)

Tks!

How how many days you expect to get a Laptop delvry from the day of order from the portal in Oracle?

Anyone have experience setting up more in-depth analytics for portfolio websites? Any ways to get more information about who is looking at my book? I'm on squarespace. Cheers!

Do recruiters typically reply to the “Thank you email” after the initial interview?

When we go back to the office, I wonder how I’ll be able to lie on my bed and stare the ceiling, reconsidering my life choices

Some days the ghosting and radio silence comes off as blacklisting and soul crushing. How hard of an ask is it to copy and paste "thank you for your interest, we decided to go with another candidate"

I love living in NYC. Unfortunately, I haven’t found the kind of job I want here. Can someone suggest me other states where creative agencies are actually hiring?

Offered 8 grand less than interns who were hired on last year...need negotiation advice!
Is it appropriate to bring up that I know the salary amount that was offered there in previous years?

Is there an online or college course which concentrates on the craft of Art Direction? Like the developer bootcamp, but covering visual story telling, photo art direction, animation, video, etc

A branding question. If FIFA stopped calling it the Women’s World Cup, would more of the world start treating it with as much reverence as the men’s World Cup, which is just called The FIFA World Cup?

FCB Health Chicago - What’s it like?

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.

Do you guys list things you did on your resume, or just titles & agencies? Been at this for 8 years and feel like each job, while different, had me do the same stuff we all know. Feels redundant?

Anyone wanna give me constructive criticism on my portfolio? 😪

Moved over to a review system called 15Five. It allows you to review your manager. I gave my manager a terrible review. The catch is: they get to “anonymously” see your reviews. Bad move?

Hi Creatives! What tool does your Resources Management team use? Also, what software are you using for creative workflow? Also include if you like it or if you have any favorites. Thanks in advance.

What would you say the main differences between senior and ACD are? I’m currently managing a team under me and working directly with ECD, meeting clients, etc.

Ok straight out of ad school/internship at an A-list agency: is it better to take a job at a “lesser” shop where their work isnt great but they’re the only place hiring rn OR wait it out for better?

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD. Then when im scoped over work that my CD and I oversee, some people are asking me how does my role differ from the CD’s, as they tend to look at me as an unnecessary layer for approvals. In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve

Just had a big project killed after over a year of continuously selling it in to various stakeholders. Fully produced. Cheer me up

Has any creative here ever tried to make the leap to leave advertising and be a film maker, photographer, illustrator, etc.?? I’m so tired of ad agencies and how draining the “creative” can be. Happiness is more important than a nice paycheck for me. Any inspiration success stories advice would be so helpful right now...

How suspicious is it that the client that just gave the pitch of VW in the US to Johannes Leonardo used to be one of the executives from Johannes Leonardo?
