Does anyone have any advice for getting an apartment in Amsterdam for an expat beyond the classic apply for everything in your budget?

How much do tech recruiters make? You know, the ones that harass you with copy/pasted messages through email and LinkedIn.

Do they make salary or is it based on successful hires?

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

So my peers in my team earn double what I earn and work significantly less, get promoted over me and have bonuses. Also get to make decisions over my goals and such. I have a new leadership now but how do I escape this?

I am an associate at a UMM and my employment contract has a 4 month non compete (yes, even for associates) but I am thinking of lateraling. What are the implications of breaking a non compete? I didn’t say anything when I signed because I was desperate for a PE offer but it seems so unfair as I am just a lowly associate. I am not so much worried about getting sued, but about my current employer tanking my reputation if I leave and break the non compete.

If you could change one things in your team or firm what it would be ?

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

Any advice welcome!

Hello, I’m a Physical Therapist (DPT) and am considering going back to school for my MBA. I’m hoping to pivot out of patient care and into a more corporate/leadership role. Is there anyone here with a similar background? Any insights as far as opportunities an MBA could afford for someone like myself? Thank you

How long have those who have been looking for a job been looking? No luck here.

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

I cleared all my rounds for 2.2 level and shared all my documents on the link HR shared. It's been two weeks and the offer letter is not generated. The HR keeps telling me to wait until Friday and then postpones to next week. Can anyone help me understand this?

Failed FAR miserably. Should I start studying all over or just do the MC?

Does anyone know any good resume writers that are reasonably priced? Thank you in advance.

You did an interview and your interviewer apologized that the travel time 180minutes was much higher than 30minutes scheduled time for the interview and that It could have been done remotely, but she has to follow the process. I am still waiting for feedback though.

Is this just a humane demonstration?

Guys, how's your experience living in Pune. How's the city and how did it treat you so far?

If I get married to someone not a US national while my greenvard is processing, how does it impact my spouse’s ability to join me in the US?

How do you deal with not getting the desired output from somebody working under you? I think I’ve given enough examples and direction but the work still isn’t where I need it.

What was your most recent side project? What inspired you to start it?

Do you all ever give yourself new job resolutions (like new year resolutions) when you start a new job?

What do you think some good ones would be? Like better file organization, set boundaries, etc.

🐠 Would you rather work on award winning next level creative with zero work life balance or churn out mediocre work and have a healthy work life balance?

Any advice on how to shift from agency to client side? Any resume pointers would be much appreciated.

Looking for leaders in inclusive design or general resources. What agencies, designers, books, or general resources or sites do you look to for reference + brands that you’ve seen walk the walk?

Boss is cool giving me some minor additional responsibilities on projects (delegating to other creatives, leading client presentations). How can I parlay this into a promotion to Senior AD? Or ACD?

How would you explain to a n hiring manager the fact that your last two jobs didn’t last very long because you hated the workplace and you quit?

I’ve been pulling 16 hour days the past couple of weeks. I haven’t taken any personal time, I’m burnt and my gf hates me 4 it. Is this normal? What do you guys do when work literally never ends?

Do people read Glassdoor reviews? I should have before starting here 🤦🏽‍♂️

If your agency were a controversial celebrity, who would they be?

Anyone hiring remote EPs?

Has anyone been fired? How’d you bounce back? How did you approach it when applying for new jobs? I’m legitimately worried I’ll be fired and could use some advice.

Does anyone have experience at Klick? Looking for real intel here. What’s it really like, how does it compare to competition. Is it just a lot of shiny objects?

Chevy work is unwatchable. And the money they spend on production for this work is unconscionable.

Our thin skinned POTUS is skipping out on the White House Correspondents dinner. First president since Nixon to do this. Coincidentally also the last pres to declare the free press "our enemy" 🤐

Has anyone heard of Blue Crow Films in Turkey? They seem to be an animation studio and are looking to do business, but I have some yellow flags already... Just wondering if they have approached anyone else.

I’m working for an agency where Art Directors are essentially managers of designers. Art Directors are promoted from Senior Designer, we have no Junior Art Directors.

This hasn’t been my experience, I’m used to Art Directors and Designers having separate career paths. However, I’m trying to keep an open mind. Is this org structure familiar to to anyone else? If so, has it been effective? Thanks in advance!

Trying to get into a big, famous shop. But everything good dies at smaller shops in my town (not NY or LA) bc of the client or CDs that never made it. Feel like I’m stuck in a loop 🔄
