Those who’ve worked at both agencies and branding / design firms - are branding & design firms less toxic than ad agencies from a strategy perspective? Maybe I’ve worked at the wrong agencies but I find that many of the cultures seem highly political, less about the work and more about alliances, personalities etc.

Hi folks,

Need your suggestions here!
Currently, I'm working as a PLSQL developer.
But I want to change my skillset. I don't want to continue as a database developer.

Any suggestions, which technology should I start learning, which has high demand in market.

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

I’ve been tasked with overseeing our summer associates and playing a bigger role in recruitment and retention of associates. I’m in an AM200 firm, but our office is relatively small with historical only 1-2 junior associates at a time. Looking for fun ideas and traditions I can institute with summers and the other junior associates to increase moral and better connect with one another. Drop some fun ideas or experiences you’ve had.

Points wizards - I need some United miles stat. What’s the best conversion point source right now?

Thanks!!

I'm new to marketing and I am not formally educated in it. I have just been learning through experience with the business. I'm supposed to put together a Market report for our sales team to refer to but I have been stuck on what I even include. I have an expensive subscription to a reporting database and I am supposed to translate these technical reports into 20-30 slides. I can't figure out if I am overthinking something simple or lacking some knowledge that people formally learn in school.
