Anyone attending LUNCH with SAP Leadership @ DUSI Pune office on 1st July?

Leaving the firm I have a credit balance of 230 on my company Amex. Is it wrong to use that credit balance on whatever I want ? Last day is this Friday 👍🏾

Hearing rumours that Robinhood will limit ability to purchase 50 different companies. Does this mean those 50 are going to be on sale soon? Chance to buy at a good discount?

We get it, ghosting happens. But has it ever happened to you repeatedly by the same person? Cashmere Agency in LA calls me relentlessly and then ghosts me just as relentlessly. Sales Force has done it two or three times as well. I can’t help but laugh and think about how it feels like getting a text from an ex—this didn’t work out before remember? It’s only been a month I’m still me.

How is the AMEX account in IBM?

What is your dream salary? Like your FU number!?

Hi Fishes,

Having Total 9+ Yoe

I’m ghosting a recruiter and it feels great!

If Arya Stark from GOT worked in advertising, she would be a strategist...

Hi !

I will be giving an interview with PWC IAC for the position Tax Manager. Could someone tell me what questions can they ask for SALT manager role ?

Is it acceptable to re-negotiate designation after accepting the offer letter?

What level do managers/PLs from MBB and T2 firms typically come in at for Strategy & Ops roles?

Do you all see a compelling future in your tax career? I’ll go first, I don’t see a compelling future working for a large PA firm in the long run because you have to work more as you move up. However, I do see a compelling future by using my knowledge and skills to open my own firm/business and work less hours as long as I make enough money which is $75k, or if I do work long hours, it’s because I want to.

Hello Fishes,

Recently received offer from Oracle Solution Services India Private Limited and base location mentioned is Bangalore. Just was curious to know whether we have to go to office physically for the joining or we can join virtually as I am not in Bangalore. Also is this offer different from Oracle or is it a branch within Oracle.

TIA

If you’re going to AICP LA tomorrow night DM me. Let’s make this dream reality.

Hi all and thank you Veronica for engineering this! Here’s to the Republic!

Hi everyone! I know we talked about a contract for freelance directors. Does anyone have one written up yet, or anything that I could easily modify?

Freelance comedy director recos? Non-union. Not looking for a prod co, just a director. Dialogue, quirky performance, not obnoxious or physical comedy. Ideally looking for someone with musical elements on their reel. Thanks!

Hello! Looking for animators that can work with a production house (so not animation studio but independents) any of you have them on roster? 3D / board is stylized kind of a diorama look. If that makes sense. Basically shoot me reels if you have 3D folks on your roster. If I see something I can share more details. Thanks!

Producers: what do you wanna see (or not see) when visiting a sales rep’s website?

If you work with any auto brand 🚗- do you know someone that can benefit from cinematic visualizations (mood films, testing & boards) created using game engine tech like this--https://bit.ly/3bVIw3O?

My s/o has been approached for representation as a motion director. Commercial animation. Can anyone point me in the direction of any resources on what he should look out for in a representation agreement?

I’m a digital producer and have no clue what’s fair / what fees these types of production companies typically take. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Reps: do you feel it’s wrong to submit Freece directors for jobs over your paying rostered clients? If the lead isn’t a fit for your rostered clients is leaving the opportunity (and potential money) on the table the “right” thing to do or are you stuck feeling a sense of loyalty to the producer seeking talent?

I’m a director/DP who has started my own small commercial production company. I’ve mainly been doing direct to client work (while also working as a hired gun for other production companies). I’m non-union currently and the budgets my company has handled go up to $250k. Based out of Los Angeles.

I’m looking to get more work for my company. Wondering if any reps here would like to chat? Thanks!

Just read the sad news of the death of 1st AD John Nolan. (See wheresspot for thread) While I hope be didn't contract Covid on either of the 2 sets mentioned prior to his illness and death, if it comes back that he did, we need to have a long hard chat about what went wrong. Condolences to his family. Truly horrible news.

Curious what the compensation / commission model is for US director reps? I work in Canada. Thanks I’m advance!

Reps, you have a client who you’ve had for less than a year. You’ve helped them secure a couple small jobs in that time span. They book a big job with an agency that isn’t a house account but certain producers and clients at that agency are noted as house accounts. The job came through a reco from one of those house account producers. Do you charge the full 25k commission, even though you didn’t really have a hand in the sale, and the client already had a strong relationship with the agency?

Producers: how good are you with sharing the shortlist with reps if their submitted directors/talent didn’t make the cut?

Great group for us to have

West Coast and Midwest reps who actually get consistent food and tabletop boards, where you at? I’ve got a director with a great reel of mostly over delivered low budget work, but a strong client list. I’m looking for someone who is a go to resource for agencies with these tops of jobs. I’ve already submitted a form on the AIR website. Thanks :)
