Hi all. I’m a new hire as an associate tech consultant, been here for ~2 weeks.

This week, I’ll be meeting my senior manager (who is also my counsellor) in a 1:1 virtual session. Any tips on specific questions I should ask? I’m meeting him for the first time and thought I might want to learn a lot from him!

Thanks :D

Hi Group, seems like it should be basic format, but I just can not get it to work. a list of data and want to alternate shade (blue,white,blue,etc) each line but if I have multiple lines I want to group together and they all shade the same. I want to group by the same data in column A, and the number of rows that are the same could vary. So let’s say row 1& 2 same entry in column A(blue) row 3 different (white) row 4,5,6 same as each other different to other rows (blue) etc… help 🙏

Lifting you all up in prayer as this new week begins. Peace for burdens, sharpened discernment at work, and Gods love and favor from the tops of your head to the soles of your feet. 💓

Just accepted an offer to come to Meta as a content designer. Spent the last 7 years in digital agencies doing copywriting and UX writing, what do I need to know before I start?

Freelance talent available. Would love to discuss any opportunities you guys come across

On another time, a younger me would have loved the Porsche Heist ad. Now, however, the concept just feels dated (and a bit lite for Porsche). Fun to shoot tho. Am I the only one?

Do anyone of you subscribe to the motley fool or any other stock advisor tools? Recommendations and thoughts on how useful they are?

Thoughts on $HOOD? Buy at this price or stay away?

Does anyone know anything about Square as a company? Specifically the strategic partnerships team? How is it viewed, compensation, company culture at Square?

Have a crush on my co-worker. He asked me out to go rock climbing one-on-one after we were texting for a while and I acted awkwardly when we went because I didn’t know if it was a date (nothing was explicitly said). Now I’m stuck in this weird limbo state where things have fizzled out but I’m re-reading texts and think he might’ve actually had a crush too and I pushed him away. Ambiguity sucks.

As a liberal arts student, I’ve been piecing together how to create a killer portfolio but am at a point where I need some personal feedback. Would anyone be willing to look my portfolio over and provide advice on how to improve it? Thank you!

Anyone have experience setting up more in-depth analytics for portfolio websites? Any ways to get more information about who is looking at my book? I'm on squarespace. Cheers!

Hi! Any art directors or creative directors open to giving some feedback via DM on my portfolio? I have mostly in-house experience, and could use guidance on what I might do to get in with agency work and more branding.

What do you think is the best site to make your book on as a copywriter?

How often is everyone updating their portfolio? Should I be updating mine every few months or would be okay to go longer?

Can you put spec work in your book?

Q: I’m reworking/updating my books— how are you going to include toolkit for other markets in your book? (Want to sell my contribution For concept and art direction+design in collaterals)

I see this question about how to display side projects often, so putting this out there for anyone who might find it useful:

There’s no such thing as side projects, in my eyes. Every project is an opportunity to display your creativity, and the few you’re most proud of make it to your book. Generally, the consensus these days is that we want our advertising to not look/feel like advertising. So, why should you be concerned to separate what was and wasn’t “advertising?”

Just finished Train Dreams by Denis Johnson. Superb. Gonna start Tree of Smoke next.
