Started at my first agency 3 mo. ago. I’m doing great work on exciting clients, but I often feel uninspired and drained. Is it growing pains or is this the wrong industry for me? How will I know?

Not growing pains and also doesn’t necessarily mean you’re in the wrong industry, but instead at the wrong organization. Sounds like typical agency life culture. Be patient though, it might get better. If it doesn’t, move on to an organization that fits what fuels you.

Agency culture is good and colleagues are friendly, but I’m still feeling a little disconnected from it all. I’m keeping an open mind and aiming to stay for at least a year before moving on!

If you're working with exciting clients, you're already ahead of many. I disagree that looking for another agency is the solution; instead, be proactive and be the solution or inspiration, instead of waiting for it to come to you.

Honestly, it’s not for everyone and it depends on the clients you work with. Best advice is to trust your gut but I’m telling you it’ll be a great experience overall to have on a resume. Most of us in house come from agency life! The world of PR/comms is a revolving door after all so don’t burn bridges either.

Completely agree! I’m keeping an open mind and learning as much as I can from the experience.

I joined Tiger Analytics with CTC of 9lpa. When I check in greythr IT statement, it shows 7.14lpa.

In the CTC payslip, it shows 75k per month as my salary. But this month I got 61k.

I understand they deduct tax, but I feel it is too much. IDK where I'm losing the money. Can someone tell if this is normal. I'm a fresher so, IDK much about it.

Also, what can I do to pay less taxes? Any help on that?

The Gender Wage GAAP

Did an analysis on big4transparency.com data regarding gender pay equity and was surprised by the differences I saw. Analysis was done using US firm data with just over 6,000 data points used. It shows gender pay equity is still very much an issue in accounting

I’ve had to step away from social media for my own mental sanity as I have a major issue with comparing myself to peers when it comes to life stages. (Single female, 34, never married, no male prospects, dog mom.) As a result, I feel like I’m doing a disservice to myself professionally as social media is a HUGE communication channel. Any advice on staying away or including it in my life in healthy ways?
