The best ideas rarely come from staring at a brief. How are you feeding your creativity outside of work?

Whether it's art, culture, or simply new experiences, staying curious keeps your ideas fresh. When’s the last time you stepped out of your bubble and explored something unrelated to advertising? What are your favorite sources of inspiration?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

I’m currently in the process of being converted from contractor to permanent. In my initial conversations I was under the impression that I was in a different pay grade and asked for a salary 25k higher than the max allotted for my position. I feel like it gave the impression that I don’t know what I’m doing. Any suggestion how I can recover from this?

Looking for Life Skills worksheets for independent centers for students who don’t have high independent skills. Parent requesting worksheets for student, but who has behavior daily 🙄

Through a lot of comp discussions I heard a lot of talk of “making you whole” when things get better. Am I drinking the kool-aid by believing this? Is this just meant to prevent further questions that the firm does not know the answer to?

I’m close to finalizing a deal with a startup that I’m really excited about. They’re asking me to create a contract for them to review - but I’ve always been given contracts from agencies/brands that I’ve revised.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a standard form that I can use as a base template?

How has the NY "state of mind" lasted so long when everyone's working from their suburban home or parents' basement?

I’m a college grad. I had 3 final interviews for agencies in NYC but those have been canceled. Should I look for jobs in other cities or give up entirely (at least for a few weeks)?

If the open office concept is so great for collaboration why does everyone wear gigantic noise cancelling headphones to try to ignore everyone around them?

Interviewed on Friday, they started talking salary Friday afternoon & said I’d hear back “next week.” Still nothing... Obsessively checking email... This whole patience thing is hard, amirite??

What's Your Take?:

Asking creatives to work on a project with lots of award potential but minimal budget/billable time allocations. So the majority of the work would be done on personal time.

What are some questions to ask/things to look for before the first time you’re jumping ship that helped you decide whether it was worth it (other than remoteness, salary, and benefits)?

Do you guys touch type? How long did it take you to learn? lol

Agency-wide salary cuts effective today. 10-20% depending on level.

Whats the best way to handle? I want to keep the peace

Drowning in student debt, drowning in the wrong opportunities, I make a six figure salary working pharma but I’m in a deep depression. I can’t get out of pharma without taking a significant pay cut.

I have a great opportunity on the table that’s currently work remote with the end goal of returning to the office 1-2 times a week when it’s safe. However, after the past couple months, I don’t see myself returning to live in the big city. Has anyone requested to work fully/mostly remote with a new offer? How did it go? How did you request it so it seems beneficial? Thanks 🙏🏼

Curious how other people’s brains work.
When you get an activation brief, what’s your process for coming up with a solid idea?

Look for cultural moments that you can adapt? Look through award show books? Scroll YouTube videos until 3am?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.

Guy bumped into me while I was checking something on my phone and told me to "watch out" well if you were looking how the hell you bumped into me? (Wasn't even a crowd plce)

I've seen quite a few people make jokes about being "aged out" of advertising. Could someone please explain what that looks like and when that typically happens? Forgive the dumb question, I'm a newbie to the industry so I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't agencies want people with more experience?

If I’m 6 years in, and the stars haven’t aligned for any (real) awards yet, am I screwed? I’m making fun work but am at a shop that doesn’t prioritize awards, how do I get into one of the greats?
