Does anyone know? Keeping in mind that “connect the world” and “break the industry” and “change the model” and “a platform” are NOT ANSWERS? It seriously sounds like an app to do your timesheets. With a voice interface!

Publicis people, do you get to enter awards shows again at least?

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.
