Thank you for starting this bowl. I come from a strict Christian background and it’s becoming hard to reconcile my faith with agency life. I never used to drink, now I am borderline alcoholic. Need 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Kind of funny when I see a Producer say they haven’t been promoted in 2 years. I’m like try having the same Senior title for decades. 😀

Been thinking about a career switch. Am a lawyer with top experience in energy and construction transactions and have industry specific insights and knowledge. Wondering if the management consulting firms would be an interesting place to go. Also have MBA for what it’s worth. Thoughts?

Hi, what has been/will be the next steps for you after being chief of staff?

Context: I head up strategy & ops at a startup and act as CoS to CEO. Now interviewing for CoS to CCO at another larger company (1000+ employees) and wondering if this puts me in line to get a CCO role in a few years or if I’m better off remaining in strategy & Ops.

Does anyone here work for Vail or Alterra? If so, how is it?

New Hunky Dory ad 👏 More of these please!

Bosch or CTS

Is it worth for me to get a masters (non-MBA) for Cambridge / Oxford after 3-4 YOE? Currently have an offer for Master of Bioscience Enterprise at Cambridge but not sure how helpful it can be for future opportunities.

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like? I just asked a creative to include more pictures of Afro-Latinos in our hispanic messaging and she said "I tried to find pictures of videos that looked authentic but they didn't have the right look, it's a very specific look". So no black people in the ad cause this white passing lady needs to gate keep who looks latina enough. The blond, blue eyed women in the photos passed though... UGHH.

I am looking for a job change, I am currently working in accenture as L10 with only 5 months of experience, prior to that I have worked with Genpact and TCS with overall 8 years of experience.
Any lead in R2R for bangalore location is welcome

Is it true that Recruiters and ECDs don’t consider creatives with Healthcare / Pharma experience when they apply for Consumer jobs? I have lots of Consumer experience (in my country) and I’m currently working in Pharma (in NYC), cause you know... I need to pay my bills. I’d like to go back to Consumer. I’d really appreciate your objective feedback.

Just putting a feeler out, my lease is up in Harlem and I’m looking to move to Brooklyn (preferably Williamsburg).

Are Uber/Lyft drivers reluctant to drive from DC (Logan) to BWI?

I have my joining in EXL (Inductis) next month, but my last working day in the current organization is 15 days later. Is it possible to request a 15-day joining date extension? What are the chances they are okay with that? My current organization is not okay with early release.

does ACN increase salary on a yearly basis atleast for inflation ? I have heard they dont. Also if you being brought in at 12 months level will the salary increase for 24 months, 36 months etc ?

Other than Medtronic, which med device companies would you consider the cream of the crop?

Hi, Are there people here who have switched from being a doctor or dentist and went on and got an International healthcare management MBA (or just a standard MBA) and also have experiences from surgery/clinical side, pharmaceuticals, and bit of consulting? If yes, how was your transition? What were your starting roles and salaries? Thank you :)

Is there a "too old" stage to pursue a master's? Currently 25, 3 YOE

A CRO offerred me an internal consulting/biz dev role. They offered 145k TC (20% bump) and slightly better benefits. They also offered accelerated path (6mo to 1yr) to MC. While promotion to MC at my current company is at least 1 year away. The job is interesting to me and fits my careery goal. But my big concern is that I've only been with my current company for a year (this is my first job, post PhD). Would this affect my resume in the future in terms of being viewed as "job hopping"?

Thoughts on the lumanity acquisition of clarion? I was a bit surprised, the clarion name seems bigger and I had never actually heard of lumanity, but maybe I'm just out of the loop.

Thoughts on the new Ariana Grande track called God is a woman? Everyone in my creative department was loving it and I felt like the only one who wasn’t 100% on board.

Just wanted to share a verse that calls us to be redeemers in our workplace. That our faith is not separate from our work.

God is on His throne

Do you guys volunteer as creatives at your church? I feel like that’s work and the last thing I wanna do as a volunteer. Give me anything else. How do you guys feel about this?

trying to wake up every morning and give thanks for the good in my life. I spent so much of the past few years focused on all that was wrong or didn’t go according to my plan. thankful

I hope this is still a living bowl.

Can i get an amen?!

Merry Christmas everyone ❤️❤️❤️❤️

How does Christians feel about therapy sessions? Should we be taking our problems to therapists and psychologists or should we take them to God and pray about it?

I have been using this emoji 🙏 and saying to so many colleagues and clients “I’ll pray for you” with such warm and genuine receipt that I think sometimes God uses hopelessness to open people’s hearts to Him. I’ve spoken about my faith to work people more than I ever have in my 20 year career. In such a dark time, what a light prayer can be for our coworkers and clients.

So considering the social and political climate we’re facing right now, is anyone else in this industry feeling like you’re the only conservative in a sea of blue?

Any advice to AE starting at new agency with OCD/controlling supervisor close in age? I leave feeling defeated and in a competition rather than on a team.

Where do you New Yorkers go to church? Recently had a really disappointing experience with one of the trendy ones I had been going to for years, and now I’m feeling a little lost.

The thing prayed for became a praise report that’s now back 2 a prayer request. God help me! Grateful for the shift but don’t yet feel I’m walking in my calling. How 2 remain steadfast in the journey?

Just discovered Fishbowl. Pretty awesome to see a group dedicated to believers within the industry. It's encouraging!

A reminder to my fellow creatives - be strong and courageous.

I’m what you’d call the “good kid” I always got to see the bad kids get away with stuff my whole life and I thought having a moral compass would pay off but a lot of times I feel jerks move ahead....
