One thing they don't prepare you for when you're getting into advertising is the extent to which being a cheerleader propels you. I'm not a misanthrope, but I'm definitely not naturally wired for cheerleading and it for sure has had an adverse impact on my career.

I agree. I think it's more this extroverted positivity that's cultural to America. Proven that extroverts are perceived as leaders, despite some study I don't remember suggesting introverts tend to be better performers. Check out the book Quiet.

People you work for love when you’re enthusiastic about the place, the mission, the group. Even when you fake it.

Faking it is so obvious too. It's like the feedback shit sandwich creatives have come to expect.

100%, if you're not kissing ass or making some type of extroverted play, it's hard to be recognized for good work and have that lead to promotions and raises

Wow. This is a good reminder. Thank you for sharing.

30 m ny/nj. US citizen. Moved as a teenager. INTJ. Single since I figured I’m not fighting the biological clock and have all the time in the world to meet someone and get settled. Things changed after I watched Akshay’s mom (Indian Matchmaking) tell him even 25 is too late and not marrying somehow messes up lives of people around him. While the show was staged, there might be truth to the latter part.
Looking for F in ny/nj. Personality: NOT Aparna. NOT Nadia but def more Nadia than Aparna.🙏

My new job occasionally requires me to review vendor agreements. I don’t have any background in this area and am trying to get up to speed. My department doesn’t have a document management system, so it’s tough to find old agreements as precedent. Any recommendations for books or other sources - or any words of wisdom? Thanks!

I was on a partner/manager call today and they were discussing the “high” turnover at the senior and experienced associate level. What was shocking is that while ours is about double normal, evidently we are 3 out of 4 in turnover meaning 2 of the Big 4 are even higher.
