Was it that bad in 2008?

I wasn’t in US at that time yet, so can’t compare; but this is the first time I’m seeing the market being that bad. This year specifically; or maybe it’s my LinkedIn algorithm, and all I see people out of work.

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!

FAANG (or MANGA) companies seem to be the holy grail for lots of people exiting BIG4 or even banking/consulting types looking for finance analyst type roles in industry.

Anecdotally, the pay & culture seems good at those companies, but are there significant cons to "finance analyst" type roles in those orgs which would deter you from working from them? (I.e work hours, progression etc?)

In both company work profile is same & I don't have idea about work culture as I got mixed review from colleagues.

Why do some art directors only really start looking at stuff at the 11th hour? Thus forcing people to stay late on the Friday of a 3 day weekend.

Remember The Woo? Yeah, me neither. Well, they cut everyone’s pay (except mgmt of course) by 1/4 to get the small biz gov loan, and used it to hire a $500k/yr mgmt head. Agency still working barebones

I have an idea that I think could change the shape and makeup of the industry, and reduce discrimination in the hiring process.

I need to find developers however. Any idea where to look. Self funded

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Anyone else see that Walmart Office Space spot? So clever!

I know I’m too “senior” to justify feeling down, inadequate, and like a failure for not selling a campaign today but I do. Usually this stuff just rolls off me but today it isn’t. Is it because the blows hit harder while remote? Anyone else out there feel the same lately?

Anyone still being asked to come into the office for pitches?

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.
