Hmm... our clients just paused ads on Teen Vogue due to homophobic tweets by the outlet's new editor-in-chief, Alexi McCammond.

What can a junior associate do about a mid-level that constantly asks questions about things they were cc’d on, sends dozens of piecemeal emails and is generally just super high strung and needs everything right away?? No other mid-levels I’ve worked with act this way and this individual I’m working with is driving me insane and I’ve spent countless hours attaching emails and saying “as explained in the attached email…”

I used to complain how PPMDS are unresponsive, until I woke up with 500 work related emails one day. I'll give you credit for clearing your emails everyday, cause I know I won't.

Confession: Sometimes I give money to homeless people that look like they might be an undercover billionaire looking for a kind soul to leave their fortune to. Does that make me a bad person?

R/GA - they are the worst. Some of the people they have hired over the years makes me wonder if their HR department is smoking crack

What are you guys charging? I'm thinking the initial plan at $150 per hour so ave $300-$1500 per plan. Ongoing plan 20 basis points of the AUM. What are ya'lls thoughts and what do you charge?

I have been working in IT project management and information security for the past 12 years. I would like to pivot to cloud sales. I have been self teaching AWS over the past few months. I'm open to ideas and leads towards this transition. Thank you all in advance for this space.

Yay; my hire got approved by HC 🎉. I’m in serious need for comp negotiation coaching now. How to best approach this? I’m utterly clueless about my market worth+approach and don’t want to leave any money on the table.

PHEV (specifically, RAV4 Prime) yay/nay?

Expected use case:
Family car
Low mileage (<10-11k / yr)
4-5 days a week expecting less 30 miles per day
Weekends 100-200 miles altogether (occasionally)
Rare road trip use (1x or 2x / yr; <300 miles one way)
Have garage (to charge at home)

Chief Concern: "Best of both worlds" in engineering can mean compromises and complications, which can mean non-resilient/unreliable. But I'm no gearhead, so not sure if I'm making massive incorrect assumptions.

I have been living in the same building for over 11years now and I just found a shortcut from train station to my building while I was looking for a parking spot last night 🤦🏻‍♂️

Do you consider your in-laws family? For example, if your spouse’s sibling has children, do you consider those kids as your family or your spouse’s family?

Does anyone use Google Classroom for ECSE ? I was supposed to have it up and running by Thursday. Luckily, all of my kiddos came. I didn’t take the workshop this summer and the person that gave a brief overview last week talked so fast that I couldn’t understand what was being said.

Made a mistake: I bought a watch instead of an iPad for grad school use.

Hi Fishies,

How much can i demand for having 3.5 Yr in Java, Springboot, Microservices knowledge. Current ctc is 11 LPA.

Kudos to the man on the train next to me who has his ticket around his neck, his glasses in his hand and a full sleeping mask on. 😴

What agency is doing the new Twizzler ads?

No one—of any age, on any occasion—ever—says “It’s easy as 1 2 3!” And yet every now and then, even now, you see it as a line (junk mail mostly). Did anyone EVER say it, outside of advertising?

Does anyone feel weird in the DEI space for all the identity politics of representation (which I understand progress is progress!) but it’s still within the system of capitalism because this is still... advertising? - coming from a BIPOC
