When I was at Target I worked in the some internal stuff as well the regular. They were doing a corporate responsibility report and had a cover that had three kids climbing a wall with a bullseye. The prob is it was three white kids. They wanted diversity. So they took the head of a black girl from a previous shoot and popped it on one of the kids. Then they color corrected her skin color to match the new head. I was asked to sign off on it as the team was all out. Got in a little trouble for saying no fucking way because it was totally wrong and I wanted my name no where near it. Not only was it bad but it was on a fucking corporate responsibility report

Hi! I joined a startup last month and was offered 30,000 stock options with a value of $60,000 with a 4 year vesting period with 1 year cliff. What does this mean? Is it good? It’s the first time I’m getting stock options and I haven’t yet been provided the stock options contract (they said it’s coming).

London, UK. Currently work in real estate finance for a retail/commercial bank. 2+ years exp in debt (mezz and senior). Graduated 2018 from UK target in Real Estate (around 1/5 modules were finance). Looking to get out of retail and move to corporate. Think IB might be a push but MBD at GS sort of think more likely. I’m doing CFI modelling course to get my skills up to scratch. Any other suggestions? I think CFA has slim to no value in my situation but open to hear otherwise. Cheers

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?

During the VMAs last night there was a car commercial and all I have to say is that if your brand is picking a 5 year old Sia song that didn’t even chart too well as a song for a NEW commercial, you need to tap into culture a little bit.

I’m begging for a world where we stop using songs like this and Roar by Katy Perry as the standard backing tracks for boring ads.
