this likely changes at every agency but i would ask the hiring manager if they have a breakout of R&Rs across each level so you can understand what you need to do in your role and what you need to do as you move up and also lets you be aware of where you may need help

Independence.

I would expect to only minimally supervise you and have you be an effective partner to account, client, and creative as well as other agencies.

Management skills are much more individual. I wouldn’t force you to manage others if you’d rather be an individual contributor.

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?

I'm currently looking at two HRBP roles at two different titles/salary bands. This would at a large banking company located in NYC.

I have a friend that's a VP at JPM and has about the same YOE as me (shes not in HR). I have about 15 YOE but about 10 yrs HR YOE and 3 HRBP YOE.
