The one thing that I can’t get used to after being brand side for two years, is the amount of duplicate work I’m responsible for every quarter.

I am currently updating slides that have identical information in different formats. It just so happens that each decision-maker prefers their own format.

Totally does. Clients don’t know how to open a PDF or they have PowerPoint but not Keynote or whatever.

Absolutely .... different stakeholders in the organisation also require different levels of information, so for some you need one pagers, some three and others a full strategy deck.

Thoughts on CAIA? Difficulty, hours studied, study tips, overall experiences, etc.? I’ll be sitting for Level 1 in September. Currently work in the fund of funds space - moving over to my firm’s hedge fund research team soon so CAIA seemed like a perfect way to get knowledge in the area beforehand. I’m almost one year out of undergrad (econ background) so a lot of the CAIA content is new to me

Need advice, my brother and his wife have a three month old and aren't the most cautious parents with my nephew. Yesterday, my SIL was giving him a bath and just left him in the tub on the counter to go run upstairs for something. Granted, the water came up to his chest and his head was angled out of the tub, bit still. Also, they leave him on the couch and walk away. I'm worried that when he starts rolling over he'll fall off because they will have developed this bad habit...

I was recently offered a “promotion” from Senior Director to… a Senior Director with a much bigger team.

I’m basically doing the same role the VP did before me (brand, campaigns, strategy, design, web, content all under me).

I was offered NO pay bump with the additional responsibility and NO title change. My base is 200k… and my highest paid direct makes 180k for doing about 1/2 the work. I get no equity because we’re private.

I work for a very profitable tech company. Is this fair?

How long is too long to wait for a raise? I've been waiting seven years and have had 2 title (and responsibility) promotions since the last raise. My manager says I deserve it and am long overdue. The CEO says we "can't afford it" and that "there are things that matter more than money." That's easy for someone not living paycheck to paycheck (during an inflation crisis) to say. I don't know what to do. How long is normal to wait? Especially with an employee's market like this?

Anyone else working on the Brand side of the cannabis industry? Thoughts?
