My GF’s dad works at Deloitte, his daughter & I have been together for 2 years. Is it too forward to ask him for a reference? Do you think he would do it? I think we are cool, but not sure how cool…

I would definitely ask … 2 years is solid

Even if the relationship wasn't solid, it's for a job, your not asking him to hand anything to you. You still gotta work for it.

I would definitely ask. Also realize that your performance will need to be good to maintain his credibility and reputation for referrals.

I would let him know that you’re looking to apply and ask for what he would recommend to increase your chances of getting the gig. If he wants, that would be his “open door” to offer to refer you. If he doesn’t mention it, I would consider it a no-go. I love my family and friends. Recommendations are a reflection of you as an employee. Takes a lot for me to step out and recommend someone.

I don't think it is too forward. I would do it.

Curious to know what you've seen as working to non working dollars split in Canadian agencies. Reference any specific brands (or categories) if you can. I'm used to seeing the conventional 15-20% split for non working (production dollars only, not including media budget, agency fees) but are those days gone now with the takeover of digital (vs traditional) ad placements?

I'm non US citizen and thinking of moving back to EU. My plan is getting remote opportunities across the world and work as a freelancer. My speciality is Data analytics and BI (Qlikview, Tableau). 1) How likely I can get a gig from the US? 2) if a job looking for a remote 2-3 months contract do they care what country I'm in? 3) how can I compete Indian rates as I'm in Europe 60-70$ per hour as a BI consultant is a good rate but I see online rates as low 10$😫?
