What a way to frame the state of the industry. Out of touch with reality. Privileged.

Anselmo, that’s because only .06% cares. Especially given what else goes on in the world right now.
I have nothing against people who win or enter work. I actually LOVE working to solve creative problems. But this circle jerk fest, is just seen by most of us as a self congratulatory pompous douche bash that we are all sort of obligated to pretend we like. We just keep up with it and enter work because it has the potential to help our careers some. And even that potential is diminishing and shorter lasting as the years go by.
Most of us are far more concerned about still having jobs that pay enough to feed our families, hopefully without losing our souls in the process. Most of us are far more concerned about the state he world is in, about being replaced by AI, about our kids’ futures, our mortgage or rent, about dying of a heart attack in our 40s. So yeah, that would be about 99.94% of us. Because even a lot of the people who worked on the pieces celebrated at Cannes, don’t even get to make it there to pick up their awards.

Gosh, you need to get rid of that black cloud hanging over you - its not healthy to worry so much about "most of us" life is for living not worrying about dying or starving (unless you are dying or starving which i suspect not many on fishbowl are)

Hi all, negotiating with HR on salary for a new AS position and want to know what’s fair. I was an AE for two years, took a promotion at another agency for SAE for only 8 months and am now being recruited for AS at 80k. All of my agencies have been large, I’ve worked on pharma and a large global account, I also started “managing” at the AE level due to my team’s structure. Is $80k fair? Thanks!

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
