Thoughts on VaynerMedia as a creative shop? I’ve had a few rounds of interviews and people seem to like it there. But not sure if there’s anything behind the smiles. Also, it seems like the place is a running joke on some posts here. Hoping there are some genuine insights someone can share.

I interviewed with them, the people I talked to seemed talented and nice but a bit burned out . My one take away was that it seemed like a place that might focus more on quantity vs quality in regards to their work.

It probably depends where you’re coming from. If you work at Ogilvy or Droga, it would certainly be a downgrade. If you work at an unknown little digital shop that doesn’t do very good work, it might be an upgrade.

If you put their work side-by-side, you’d see that Ogilvy is still in a different class.

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus. I’m a boomerang with 4 years ERP consulting but this past year I’ve been doing DEI Consulting. Spoke with former colleagues who rejoined Deloitte and got a much higher offer for SC. How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.

I feel like a failure as a parent at times - my youngest daughter is extremely anxious about middle school and in the first week has already had two emotional breakdowns.

I feel like I should be able to do more than encourage her but I know some battles she had to fight on her own.

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.

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❤️
