It’s fine she has an opinion about Cannes, everyone does. But it’s funny how she works for a newspaper and doesn’t understand how advertising affects the existence of her job. She’s either ignorant, in denial or extremely stupid.

She’s so wrong. There are no junior ad execs there, only seniors.

Two things:
- 1. This dude is in no way going to stay an AE for long if he hates advertising. Kind of a dumb career move. I hated complex math so I stayed my ass out of accounting.

-2. I literally had a brain surgeon on my team at my last agency. Although it is pharma. I’ve had a pediatric oncologist, immunologists, and rheumatologists on my teams as well.

“An industry in denial” is my favorite comment. Nothing captures Cannes better.

I see her point about Cannes but shes a little harsh on the industry as a whole. I hope she doesnt think "subscriptions" are what keeps her newspaper alive.

She’s a newspaper writer who doesn’t understand ad dollars are what keeps her employed? Okay...
Look I think Cannes is ridiculous but so is this level of hypocrisy, Carol.

What she doesn’t seem to understand is that ad revenue is a drop in the bucket to the money that Google and Amazon are making from enterprise level cloud storage. That’s really where all the data is, but we are an easier target as we can all see from her blistering report that was created by searching the very site she’s railing against. So meta.

So I’ve been with FAANG for 5 years (I’m 30 y/o). I’m pretty comfortable with my situation. Got average grades at a good undergrad university, total comp ~300k. I’m debating Ivy League MBA. I don’t think it’ll benefit me at FAANG, but I’d like to start a company eventually. Worth it?

Hey fish, I started recently (within the last year) at post PhD level. I’m thinking about moving into pharma or biotech since I don’t think the ladder in consulting is right for me long term. How long do you need to stay in consulting for before making say 150-200k base in pharma/biotech?

Hi, we're searching for a job in HR for my wife. She's an MBA from India and has 10 years of work experiences across various HR roles in FMCG and Tech. Her last role was a HR BP and India site lead for a US based semiconductor major.
Is CIPD necessary to get a comparable role in the UK? While we undersrand it's a new market, would she necessarily need to start from a basic role again? It's difficult to balance studies, work and manage a 2 y.o. Any pointers or job openings would be appreciated.

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project
 all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here
.? Any suggestions please.
