Most pretentious question you were asked in an interview?

Hi,
What kind yearly hike can be expected in TCS by lateral hires?? Would be great if some one can give a band wise estimate.
Also is the hike amount added to fixed components like basic and hra... or only in mva or qva components??
Appreciate your responses.

Welp, see yeah later KFC!

What is the biggest piece of advice you’d give someone starting a new role/joining a new team?

I completed my interview loop at Google on August 12, 2022. My recruiter informed me on August 29th that due to a couple of realignments within the org, the hiring manager has not shared any feedback. I was informed on September 8th that the hiring committee is scheduled the next day (September 9th) and that I can expect a final feedback latest by September 12th. I wasn’t informed of the results and reached out, but the recruiter isn’t replying to my emails. Does this mean I was rejected?

How does your firm measure utilization? I work for a small boutique that defines it as utilization = number of billable hours/2,080 and full bonus payout occurs at 80% plus.

What are people’s firms telling them about client travel once we go back to in person. I’m hearing some will be 50%, while others 80%.

Do you need to be a cpa for fdd at pwc? Manager and up? I heard ey SaT fdd is going away from that

Itna sannata q hai bhai?

Curious what in-house lawyers are doing for pro bono (Model Rules recommend 50 hrs/yr). Feels harder in-house because organizations like Legal Aid seem to pair with firms or expect you to be practicing with a firm.

As a Cybersecurity Analyst I make right under 80k in total compensation (62k Salary, 17k Bonus). I have two years of experience, an Associates in Networking and a Sec+ cert, does everyone feel like this is a fair compensation based off my credentials and experience?

Hello Fishes, did you receive market correction of salary in October 2022 ? If so, what is the % correction ?

CDs. How many brands do you look after? Trying to find out if I'm stretched too thin, or not thin enough.

Got an offer, made a counter, they came back and said they’re keeping their offer where it is.

Jobs ok. Could use the benefits. Offer was below market.

Thoughts?

Grey NY news on 4-Day work week option. Thoughts?

I've seen quite a few people make jokes about being "aged out" of advertising. Could someone please explain what that looks like and when that typically happens? Forgive the dumb question, I'm a newbie to the industry so I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't agencies want people with more experience?

Anomaly, good move or no?

What do you guys think of JvM / Sports these days?

Mccann creatives - what are the good groups?

What agency is doing the new Twizzler ads?

What y'all know about Space150?

What’s it like to move to London from the states?

No one—of any age, on any occasion—ever—says “It’s easy as 1 2 3!” And yet every now and then, even now, you see it as a line (junk mail mostly). Did anyone EVER say it, outside of advertising?

Just found out there’s an ECD in a big NYC agency who claims to have won awards, but the name doesn’t pop up in any of the archives.

How do they get away with it?

Something I've been curious about: why are we so cautious about asking or talking about our salaries with each other? I've never found it offensive but people think it's weird to ask. Opinions?

I have my exit interview tomorrow. Any tips? Have any of you written down what you wanted to say? I’m leaving advertising and moving so I’ll probably never see these people again.

I think I’m finally burnt out on agency life. What’s a logical next step? Freelance? In-house? A new career all together?

Looking at full-time and application asks for expected salary and then expected total compensation as a number. How should I figure out the second? Health insurance, bonuses, life insurance, equity, PTO? I studied art, not math.

Will it ever not be a boy's club?

How much should a contract ACD charge hourly?
