Strategies for getting laid off during the coronavirus epidemic? I've been thinking of leaving anyway, and the additional package + likely government programs providing further aid seem a good time.

Account executive here, who has about 5 years of agency experience. Who else is completely over working in advertising and what steps are you taking/planning to make a career move?

Joining EY soon. Should I be worried about layoffs happening supposedly in June/July?

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.

Hey Fishes,
Been working at D India as a Manager (Not USI) for past few months.

3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri

Thoughts on EW MBA from Booth/Kellogg/Haas. Currently SC at Deloitte and want to transition to tier 1 consulting firms

I've started my own creative business on the side. One of my services includes marketing/comms, which is technically what I do for work. Would advertising my business on LinkedIn, where I have lots of colleagues connected, cause any issues? I.e. can I get in trouble for having this side hustle business and offering one similar service?
