That “controversy” over Pitbull seems like the most performative woke-ness I’ve seen in a long time.

I’m even more outraged that Advertising Week still thinks Pitbull is relevant

It’s the same thing this industry does all the time. They want to talk about diversity but when it comes time to throw a lot of money at someone or give someone a platform they pick people who don’t embody the values they’re talking about.

you can’t possibly think that pitbull was an inspired choice to close out the “fashion week” of advertising, do you?

People need to lighten up. Adweek knows Pitbull isn’t about the equality agenda but he’s what they could afford, let’s be real here. They wanted buzz, they’re getting it now.

He just opened an ad agency - so I that’s where the connection is. Still a really dumb choice tho.

That would be a cool lineup with Purchase Behavior as opening act

Cognitive Dissonance as the no. 1 heartbreak track for me then!

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
