Thinking of moving from a creative agency to inhouse design team in a corporate company. Looking for shorter commute and more life/work balance.

Anyone made this move and regretted it?

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

Looking to possibly make a career change but I’m honestly not sure where to go next. I’m a finance manager working in the RV industry and I do really well but I am looking for a normal schedule and to finally have Saturdays off so I can make it to all my kid’s games. I feel like this industry is so hard to get out of because any job change comes with a huge pay cut. Has anyone else made the move out of the sales industry and what are your thoughts? Where did you go?

Any tips for the Deloitte interviews in risk advisory, also any experiences from working in their London team would be much appreciated? (I.e. culture, WLB etc)

Hi, I want to switch over from ZS to a company with a good WLB and progression. Can you please suggest some companies?
YOE - 1.5 years
Tech stack - Python, pyspark, SQL, PowerBI

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.

Any quitted big 4 right after a year? I got delayed with good rating but with the reason of not getting enough experiences (I took 3 months study leave). I also got assigned to busy files and for 70% of my file I worked till 10/11. Since WFH starts I completely lost the boundary of work/life and got depressed.
I realized it's not the life I want and I got burned out and cried all the time. During COVID I realize it's hard to find a job... any suggestions? I can't hold on anymore

Anyone currently working in the International Growth Team, LCS? Would like to know more about your experiences. Currently looking to change my career path but unsure whether to go with Google’s offer (Dublin) or a startups offer with 100 mn USD Series B funding (Singapore)…

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

With Googles Performance Max and Meta’s Advantage plus being introduced this year, should we all be looking to pivot out of media buying? Seems the machines will take this over

This ... is ... not ... sustainable! I’m the sole earner and have a kid, so “just quit!” during a pandemic is not it - and “setting boundaries” ain’t easy when I’m always reachable by text/zoom/email. I’m fortunate to have a job, but damn. Working From Home = Working Forever From Everywhere. And it sucks.

Hi everyone! I’d like to connect with Latino / Hispanic creatives working at Consumer agencies in NYC. Please reach out. I have some questions :-)

Did anyone really hit their stride once they became a CD and had more control over the work?

I just saw that the NRA has an ad agency!? Ackerman McQueen. If anyone has worked there or knows someone who has I must hear their story. Because who the fuck would work on this??

Was tasked to create a key visual for a beverage brand. This is my first time doing so. Any great examples or references?

Are there any US agencies that work on PlayStation?
I know they consolidated with Adam&Eve, but do they do the work for every market? Or just Europe?

I have a CD title but swing between imposter syndrome and bitterness that I am underpaid/undervalued and want to hear from others if I would ever be taken seriously elsewhere. I make 108k/NYC at a non-agency “media company”. I have no prior relevant experience for this role, I just sort of fell into it. I draw storyboards, strategize, write scripts, make decks, direct shoots, art direct/set dress/food style shoots, am on screen talent/creator, etc. No direct reports. Been here 2 yrs. 😕

Is hiring a freelancer ever a trial run before offering a full time position? Saw that a company I love has FT openings but was reached out to by a recruiter about a freelance position.
