Might be a little deep for a casual Friday but I wanted to extend this question in the bowl - Are we approaching the most profound philosophical shift since the Enlightenment? For centuries, humanity has anchored its purpose in labor, creative expression, and the pursuit of expertise. But if AI surpasses us in all three realms ... outperforming our work, out-innovating our creativity, and out-learning our mastery, what becomes of human meaning? Does this force us to redefine not just purpose, but the very essence of what it means to be human?

Why does this bowl treat head of strategy like he’s Satoshi Nakomoto? Hedge every currency buy with LINK because it’s a protocol and distributor.

I’ve been told my company is changing my title from Associate Director of BD to Sales Executive. I’m concerned it reads like a title demotion. Is it just semantics? How will this look for my career development? Curious about the standard perception of Sales Executive from a seniority perspective. Where does this land on the sales roles hierarchy? For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.

Does anyone work for UBS? What corporate title would a "manager" be? AVP or VP? Or AD?

Trying to build a case for my agency to hire our first CS!

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

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.

The industry is crumbling under our feet and I still can’t decide if I want to go in-house or not. I’m afraid it won’t be as exciting and I won’t travel as much. But also, I need a job. So 🤦‍♂️

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.
