It’s called favoritism, maybe nepotism. Or maybe the manager likes how that person is handling these things. Try to learn from them what they may be doing differently than you. Or if they are pigeon holing you. You can speak up and if there’s no resolve. It’s time to leave. Don’t let it eat you up inside. It’s not worth it. Find a place that values your talent and capabilities

Have you talked to them about it? Position it in a developmental way e.g. “I would love to have the opportunity to work on more challenging pitches like xyz”, or “I’d love to develop my skills at converting more, so if there is an opportunity to support on abc that would be great”.
If they just palm you off then you know it’s favouritism and you either need to accept it or look for a new role.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
