Summer hot 🥵 take incoming: the major driver of the downturn of the industry is being conflated as AI by many, when the reality is it’s macroeconomic trends since Covid. AI is reaching mega levels of hype, fueled by tech bro, VC, PE, stockholder fervor. The reality is AI is a tool that’s here to stay, but won’t live up to its lofty “game changing” hype. Especially as it pertains to creative industries. Nonetheless, holding co’s will double down on race to bottom due to shareholder pressure. CONT

Anyone in here have a hospital job for a unit secretary position? How much does it pay in California? Any help is greatly appreciated

Anyone else riding the $HIVE wave?

Does studying for top consulting firms’ case interviews help in any way for interviews with other firms (e.g., FAANG case interviews) ?

It’s Friday 🙌🏾 Any big Labor Day plans?

Finally gave in and paid $50 over retail for the Neon Air Max 95s

I hate it here.

I have 5 years of experience in HTML, CSS, JS, Bootstrap. How much payment should I have?

Hello everyone. Any suggestions for companies looking to hire for entry level UX roles with no UX experience needed?

Been trying to find a new job because $112k just doesn't seem right for 3+ years as an Eng 3. On the east coast wanting to move out to California. Not getting many bites. Do employers ignore applications for people who would need to relocate?

Just arrested a drunk driver with an “I back the blue” bumper sticker on their car. The way I see it, one of the best ways to support us is to not commit crimes but here we are…

What is Rediscover office in KGS. Are they going to call everyone back to the office.

What are the best agencies ( travel) for RN with one year of CVICU experience? Thank you

My boss assigns projects with unclear expectations and provides no guidance on how to achieve them.

I've asked for help, and, to avoid a long post, she expects me to figure it out. Perhaps you go through this too, but when I don't have a clear guide on completing big projects, it paralyzes me because I don't know where to start. On top of that, I have anxiety, so "it has to be perfect".

How do you approach projects when your boss plays the "guess what's in my head" game?

We have motion sensor lights in my office and the sensor is far from my desk. Consequently, if I'm on a long WebEx, the lights go out and it's embarrassing. The building won't change the sensor. Anyone find a solution for this (aside from standing up and moving, which would be very awkward)? I can't rearrange my office.

What’s an average salary for a mid-level post producer in LA /NYC? Does anyone know of a post house looking to hire a kick ass, scrappy post producer? Thinking about switching over from agency side🙃

How many of you have met your significant other at work?

Looking to learn more about the people behind the agencies. Could anyone tell me who’s actually driving the best work at:

-WK
-Droga5
-Martin
-Goodby Silverstein

Feel free to call out any top talent from an agency not listed above.

VMLY&R merged with Geometry, to develop the "most powerful commerce capability and ad agency at global scale", who's worked with them because this seems like a stretch based on my experience with both.

Are Droga or Anomaly open to sponsoring work visas for mid-senior folks outside of the US?

Working with another agency on a project and think I'd rather work there. Protocol for reaching out to someone to pick their brain? Email? LinkedIn message?

Love the role and opportunity, but anyone ever turn down a job offer because their prospective office looked like crap? Think 1980's old school office.

I'm so sick of this agency 🙄

How’s RGA for a CW?

Okay let's say I got a job in the marketing department at Netflix. Would it be a plus to have a company like them on my resume, or make it harder to get back into an agency later on?

What about Italy? Anyone working there?

Like this post if you want to TP one of Sir Martin's houses with me.

Hey. An observation. Every post and comment on here for the past month has been negative as fuck. Yes, life is rough right now. But advertising as a paying job is hilarious and we should all take a beat to remember that.

Facebook shutting down Oculus Story Studio... VR dead?

How did your agency handle layoffs? All-agency meeting before they started? After they ended? Both?

Kinda sorta trying to predict if I’m losing my job tomorrow.

Without asking or confirming, account lead booked an in-person client meeting that requires travel. Who books ~any~ major client meeting without first checking with the team ?

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?

McCann women are way hotter than the rest of the ship

Is anyone else having trouble just BEING back at the office… for a full day? Even if it’s hybrid. It’s like driving me insane just sitting here in silence and making small talk from 9-5:30. I feel so trapped.

Anyone hiring a UX Designer in Atlanta? I know someone who got laid off
