My agency keep promoting half the creative team is this normal? I’d be so demoralized if I did not get promoted but my partner did and were expected to show up the same way.

You get promoted when your performance merits it. Your partner may not be ready to be promoted, and you may be. Partners are rarely on the same wavelength, and I find very rarely are they equal in skill, talent, performance, and attitude. And beside that you never want your pay, your promotion, or your merit, determined by somebody else’s performance, only your own.

Sure I think it can be really hard to know who’s doing what and to separate teams though a lot of time especially if one is more vocal than the other.

Hello there! I currently work in billing at a medical office. I got my Bachelors in Psychology a few years ago but I couldn’t find a position that seemed like a good option for me that was well paying and fulfilling. I tried working as a tech at an Applied Behavior Analysis clinic but it wasn’t a good fit. I’m hesitant to try case management or social work because I worry I won’t like it but I want to use my degree in Psychology. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

I wish someone would create a book entirely on copywriting or art direction daily exercises that train us juniors or students to get better since creativity is a muscle. Sure, hey Whipple or the ad concept book do have some exercises, but I want more exercises that are bit more structured.

I would definitely pay money for that book.

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.
