This week in NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS: Meta dropped Forums, an app for Facebook Groups and Instagram launched Instants, a clear ripoff of Snap. I'm assuming they wanted to distract from their layoffs and massive data center projects. Does anyone remember life before they knew who Mark Zuckerberg was? It was a simpler time.

Have an upcoming FB loop interview next week. And today i got reached out for another role that i applied at FB, should i bring this out to the hiring manager during the loop? Wondering if this would make any difference perhaps speeding up the decision process. Any thoughts?

Hey folks, I gave round 2 interview in sap labs and got an email from HR that they have kept my candidature on hold. Does that mean the chances of selection has been reduced??
Also to let you know I am an experienced professional.

Hello folks,
I have an offer in hand by value labs and Accenture and I’m more leaning towards valuelabs. However, I’ve seen a lot of comment online which were made in 2022 and before as well that the job security is an issue in value labs and they will fire a chunk without any prior notice.
Is it true?
I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some on light on this.

Can anyone please refer me to data analyst related roles in valuelabs.. i am already serving my notice period

As a new product manager what books should I be reading? I’ve already read Inspired but looking or more. For context, I’ve joined a series A start up and as expected there’s a lot to do and it’s very fluid.

Anyone know of a company that would allow me to work remote from Mexico part of the year?

Hey. An observation. Every post and comment on here for the past month has been negative as fuck. Yes, life is rough right now. But advertising as a paying job is hilarious and we should all take a beat to remember that.

It took the horrific and completely inexcusable death of George Floyd to move the racism issue to the forefront. And while it’s a crime of a much lesser degree, with different circumstances, what’s it going to take to get ageism properly addressed? Intelligent thoughts/debate requested only please.

So, I work in an agency, but recently someone reached out to me for freelance writing work. I guess it'll be long form ad copy, as they're asking me for a rate per word...
I have no idea what's standard here

May be a stupid q but can anyone give me insight into the structure of digitas? I see all these copywriting and creative roles and media planner roles. Are their strategists? Planning and creative....

I really tried to like the nike spike lee spot but I failed.

Don’t ask me why but would anyone know where I could download McDonald’s font? Preferably for free... I think it’s called Speedee? I can’t find it anywhere... help

What, exactly, are these Archive global creative "rankings" based on? I see people posting/humbled-and-honored'ing on LinkedIn and feel like posting that I'm the #17 CD/AD/Freelancer as ranked by both Better Homes & Gardens AND Cat Fancy Magazines.

Anyone have a recommendation for books or resources on upping my sales game? Open to in person class, online class, books, etc!

When you become EXECUTIVE creative director, do you have to dress executively like with executive slacks or can you still wear the denim pants?

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

Looking for senior designers that knows shopper marketing. Please DM with books!

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

In NYC going from Junior CW to Mid at same agency. Currently making 72k. How much to shoot for?

I’m a strategist interested in branding shops like interbrand. But I hear they aren’t doing well these days since everyone claims to be a brand consultant. Also I’m curious about the work

Thinking about IMC at Medill. Any alums? Anyone with direct experience? Thoughts on this? Would Kellogg be a better bet?

Are there any LA brands/agencies who would consider a candidate that’s not in LA... aka work from home (same time zone though)? 🤔
