Permalancing at a small ad agency at a solid day rate, now being pushed to convert to a full-time PM role.

My Background is primarily live-action/in-house agency work, so not a traditional PM track but lots of adjacent experience.

Role is fully remote but sounds like longer hours (12 hour days) + juggling multiple projects.

What’s a realistic salary range for PMs in LA/NY with this kind of background?

Is there a polite/gentle way to talk to your boyfriend about the fact that he has gained a lot of weight in the past year and needs more physical activity in his life?

I am not a very shallow person — he was already on the heavier side when we met. But when I look at photos from just a year ago, it’s clear he’s put on a lot of weight. I am worried about his health. I don’t want to overstep or make him feel insecure. Just wondering if anyone else has ever been here.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
