Putting this here to check my sanity, but have any of you made it to the point of no revisions?? I’m at my wits end where everyone and their mother has an opinion at my company. I’ve been good about saying “I’ll take that into consideration” and then doing my own thing (and my results speak for themselves) but my COO has been constantly making tweaks since I’ve been with the company. When is enough, enough and how do I push back? Or should I just leave?

Nobody has no feedback. Even your CCO gets notes from the clients.

Sometimes creative leaders/writers only like their own words, no matter how good yours are—nothing you can do about that. Not worth beating yourself up over. But you should still try your understand their tastes and meet them.

If you go somewhere else, this same thing will happen in some capacity or other. As long as account people and project managers are there to protect you from new projects piling up because old ones can’t finish, that’s the best you can hope for.

Honestly wish I had your problem right now, because I can’t even get a single interview after hundreds of applications.

Hi Fishes,

I gave my various rounds of interview in Deloitte USI 2 months ago, and since then till last Friday it was showing " interview in progress" on their job portal, HR said earlier that we are interviewing other candidates. I got an offer from Amazon last week and asked Deloitte recruiter to speed up the process, i didn't get any reply on my email but now it's showing " review in progress" on the job portal. What does it mean? Shall I wait for Deloitte offer or take Amazon's offer.

Anyone doing NaNoWriMo this year?

Jumping off a related topic: am I delusional to not care about jr/int/sr level titles? I've been a "copywriter" since the day I started and steadily gained responsibility, autonomy, and money. Happy with career progression, always getting juicier assignments, work directly with ECDs/CCOs... am I missing something crucial? Is my case an anomaly? Or is it okay not to push for a title upgrade?
