On a scale of 1-10 how much do you worry about getting laid off/rif’d because of a downturn in your firms billable work activity? Used to never worry but now I’ve been thinking more about it.

I recently got an offer from accenture. But I am not sure about job security as I heard accenture has laid off many employee. Need your input on this please.

TIA 🙏

To all advisory brothers and sisters, what do you do when there's no project available and you are really looking for billable hours?

Why did they announce the 5% layoff news on a Friday to ruin our weekends??

Hi everyone, unfortunately I was recently affected by a layoff at my company. About 30% of their marketing department along with other departments were all let go. I have 3+ professional experience with product marketing, digital marketing, and event management. Im on the hunt for a new job and am fairly new to this lovely city. If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or would like to network let me know. Id love to connect!

This might sound like a crazy question but never having worked in public before: Billable hours - if you’re very efficient at your job, do you stretch out the time and work slower to get to your billable hours or do you safe the client the money. In a Situation where you don’t have other projects to work on. Tell me the ins and outs of working billable hours for a complete newbie.

Did the billable hours bonus not get paid out today? Or is it to be paid in the next check?

I didn't get the new senior registration email. Am I fired?

Hi guys,

I need some advice, I’ve been in a newly created role within a pharma agency for about three months now and it is not going too well. There is little to no structure or direction from senior leadership, no access to client data, little to no billable work. Worst of all, no project is related to what I have been hired to do.

I would like to move on with a different agency asap, but I’m not sure how to proceed with such a short time here.

Does anyone here use LinkedIn for prospecting, and have success with it? I have Premium, and I send dozens of messages per week, and if I’m lucky one person will respond. And most of the people I message work for companies that are already purchasing from us, but there’s no business relationship. Super frustrating.

The other question is: how many of you receive unsolicited messages on LinkedIn and just ignore them?
