What are your thoughts on STAR/behavioral questions in interviews? Can't for the life of me fake it.

Happy Sunday agile 🐠, been reading up on SAFe, scrum, agile, PMO, OKR, etc.

Lots of interconnections and similarities but also nuanced differences that I can see specific for software development.

Any solid articles or resources taking these concepts and applying to operational excellence other than kaizen?

TIA!

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

I love you Atlanta, GA. Respect.

Which agencies are going through layoffs

Did anybody work at Red Fuse? Curious on everyone’s thoughts. Liked their work

I've seen quite a few people make jokes about being "aged out" of advertising. Could someone please explain what that looks like and when that typically happens? Forgive the dumb question, I'm a newbie to the industry so I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't agencies want people with more experience?

Why do people in this industry say "like" so much? It makes it annoying to, like, walk around the building and listen

Raise your hand if you feel like you actually DON’T get steam rolled by your CD or higher up during a pitch?

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. 😴

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

Have layoffs been finished for the year or are more coming?

I’m looking for some new things to read or listen to — doesn’t need to be ad-related. Books, podcasts, whaddya got?
I’m not really into fiction, but open to anything. Last books I enjoyed were Junior and Moonwalking with Einstein, last podcast I binged was Startup (Gimlet).
