Sat through a waste-of-time presentation today by a shop claiming to be social. Such a lie. Should have known better. Imagine taking an agency with the name We Are Creative seriously.

Do you have a favorite portable monitor that you can hook up to your laptop?

Any M 40+ in Nairobi? The apps here are not it!

When does a person get promotion from manager to senior manager in cognizant?

Do you have a mentor? I’m in the autumn of my career and I’ve had a  modicum of success in production and it’s time to give back.

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location. However, with todays prices and interest, will it make more sense to rent out our current home and rent a home ourselves vs. selling and buying immediately when we move? We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

Which credit card do you think is the best for ME consultants?

Anyone transitioned from SaaS / PaaS consulting (SalesForce / ServiceNow / etc.) to GCP work? If so, thoughts on the change?

How often does Accenture Strategy use Python during projects? Is it worth taking courses before joining?

Anyone have any insight into the most recent base salary for S1 PwC advisory (Management consulting FS)?

Reorgs are just a part of the corporate world. If you haven’t been a part of one in your career yet, then you most likely haven’t been in the corporate workforce for very long. If you have been a part of a reorg, however, how do you personally approach it? There are many factors at play, but in general do you try to establish relationships with the individuals you know will be key contributors and/or decision makers going forward? Or do you lay low and let what ever happens be/hope for the best?

What sites do you use to find tech companies hiring or based around here (besides LinkedIn, I deed, and the RTP site)?

What’s the deal with these start-ups not hiring people with actual insurance experience?

Thinking of quitting without anything lined up. Posting it here only bc I’m on a visa. Not gonna glorify it since I’m quitting only bc I don’t like the nature of my job or the environment. Have no grand big things planned ahead. I’m fine with leaving the country. Has anyone been through this and have any advise?

Is there any band at each level? If yes what is the starting band for Manager level and min salary package?

What agencies do you think are the most supportive of women and families? i.e parental leave, work hours, etc

Dear KBS, today we received 17 all agency emails. Yesterday it was 20. Surely upper management has a better way to use their time. Make it stop. Love, KBS

Daniel Brian Advertising makes employers donate a $1 every time they wear shorts to the office...but apparently it’s only enforced on female employees.

DBC - what do you have to say for yourselves???

A post-mort meeting scheduled with:
6 account
2 strategists
1 creative

Sounds like an ambush!

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Who's got the most fishbowl points?

Have you ever seen a client fired in mid-production?

What's Your Take?:

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

What are some questions to ask/things to look for before the first time you’re jumping ship that helped you decide whether it was worth it (other than remoteness, salary, and benefits)?

What guille vega is up to these days?

Creative teams, any good tricks to keeping a brainstorm on track when your new partner talks so much that it's almost painful? More specifically, they talk the most, but say the least?

Do LinkedIn skills endorsements mean anything? Has any recruiter said... "Whoa! She's got 47 people that think she's a great writer... we gotta get her in here!" ?

I’m a college grad. I had 3 final interviews for agencies in NYC but those have been canceled. Should I look for jobs in other cities or give up entirely (at least for a few weeks)?

Anyone in-house in the Bay Area and loving it? Where are you working?

What do y'all know about Konrad NY?

I have a great opportunity on the table that’s currently work remote with the end goal of returning to the office 1-2 times a week when it’s safe. However, after the past couple months, I don’t see myself returning to live in the big city. Has anyone requested to work fully/mostly remote with a new offer? How did it go? How did you request it so it seems beneficial? Thanks 🙏🏼
