Going to Berlin next weekend. Recommendations?

Hello. I currently work in-house as a Legal Operations Manager. I am working on a project to expand our network of law firms.

Any recommendations of boutique law firms in CA that have experience in commercial litigation for retail/fashion/apparel/home companies? Specifically consumer class action, unfair business practices, false advertising/17200, data privacy.

Thanks for your recommendations.

Is there a polite/gentle way to talk to your boyfriend about the fact that he has gained a lot of weight in the past year and needs more physical activity in his life?

I am not a very shallow person — he was already on the heavier side when we met. But when I look at photos from just a year ago, it’s clear he’s put on a lot of weight. I am worried about his health. I don’t want to overstep or make him feel insecure. Just wondering if anyone else has ever been here.

Soon to join Deloitte UK and wanted to know what tech to expect? What phone and laptop will I get? Is it acceptable to use your work phone as your only phone? (I do this currently at PwC)

How much salary should I be getting?

Since it seems like every service line and every public accounting firm is bleeding people where are all these people going? Are there that many open jobs in industry?

Anyone with anxious attachment tendencies? Going through a breakup and I keep thinking about how I pushed him away and then am down on myself, replaying memories in my mind. At the end of the day, I think we were a bad match from the beginning and misaligned, but so hard not to beat myself over my anxious attachment during my relationship

Why are boomers strolling around outside running errands? Is it time to reopen schools and fire up the economy?

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Got an offer as a Senior 2 in EY’s FAAS practice for $117,500 base and $12,500 bonus. Home office is San Francisco. Is this expected for that position? Any insights?

Thinking about going independent and operating out of my home office. Does anyone have any thoughts to share about that? I’m wondering about clients coming to my home and FINRA issues.

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish. She keeps calling all my ideas ‘gamer chairs’ even though they’re definitely not. Anyone have any chairs they really like that may be worth looking at? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).

Grey NY news on 4-Day work week option. Thoughts?

Going in house is the move, right?

Don’t feel like working today. Can you all help me with some headlines or TVC ideas? The brief is to sell athletic performace underwear to the elderly. Massive budget. Prime time TV and iconic OOH. Open to +1 ideas as well.

If you win an award for a category you don’t want to be known for (ex. Tobacco, B2B, or pharma), do you still mention it in your resume or book?

Have you ever got caught freelancing for another agency while you’re full time at different one?

Finally wrote the 3 social scripts 2 hours before they were due when I was briefed over 2 weeks ago, what are you doing?

What health/pharma agencies are in SF?

Out of curiosity, how much $ did you start making before buying a pet?

Will it ever not be a boy's club?

The agency I work at has been struggling for more than 1.5 years. A mass exodus ensued naturally. Do I stay or go too? I'm not that unhappy and things have to get better?

What agency is doing the new Twizzler ads?

Which do you prefer?

“Give me a deadline and I’ll get the work done”
or

“when I get this done I’ll let you know and we can figure out when the client will see it.”

Interviewing client side for the first time, what are some good questions to ask that one might not think about at an agency?

Looking at full-time and application asks for expected salary and then expected total compensation as a number. How should I figure out the second? Health insurance, bonuses, life insurance, equity, PTO? I studied art, not math.

Does anyone feel weird in the DEI space for all the identity politics of representation (which I understand progress is progress!) but it’s still within the system of capitalism because this is still... advertising? - coming from a BIPOC

I’m going freelance soon and was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their google sheet template they use to keep track of their W2 income? Thank you so much.

I think I’m finally burnt out on agency life. What’s a logical next step? Freelance? In-house? A new career all together?

Do IPG and Omnicom still have the in-office vaccine mandates that they instituted last year, or have they repealed them?

No one—of any age, on any occasion—ever—says “It’s easy as 1 2 3!” And yet every now and then, even now, you see it as a line (junk mail mostly). Did anyone EVER say it, outside of advertising?

Got any jokes?
