It’s exhausting. I’ve done just that (not the female part) for ages now. Take some heart in my last agency had more POCs than I had seen in any agency collectively in 10 years

Ditto, but there aren’t enough replacements coming up, so I stay. When you know that leaving will reduce the POC/WOC numbers by 50%...

It’s hard because you get a reputation as the “no” person. But someone has to do it. I hate it, too.

Hi Fishes,

Got an interview opportunity from an Europe based consulting firm. Cleared the first round and waiting for final round. It's a contract opportunity with compensation of 300 euros per day. I have couple of queries -
1. Is it wise to leave the permanent job (22 LPA) and accept this contract opportunity (6 months with extension possibility) ? Pros & Cons?
2. Does anyone have similar experience? How do they make the payment to Indian Bank account?

Thanks!

We are looking to restructure our marketing team (B2B IT services) and one of the questions I have is: how does recruitment marketing / employer branding fit into the marketing team?
Over the last year EB and RM have become increasingly larger parts of our team’s work, but it’s not part of the marketing commercial targets (just helping recruitment meet their targets). Are they completely separate in your company? Or part of the team and if so how?

Do you things were better when celebrities had strict marketing and media teams? Coonye's latest rant made me think about this. I mean celebrities have always said out-of-pocket things but I feel like in the 90s and 2000's it was less frequent. Maybe it isn't a great idea for every famous rich and powerful person to be able to share whatever they want whenever they want in 240 characters or less.
