Hi Fishes

Has anyone recently given BP technical interviews using Coderpad ?

🎉🙈🌪what emoji best describes your agency experience❓

Posting as a PSA/discussion point: I was asked on an interview yesterday if I worked remotely because “I didn’t like working in an office”. Hilarious. Not everyone works remote to live in sweatpants, many of us have spouses/kids/parents that prevent us from moving. My choice to work remotely isn’t out of laziness, not wanting to work with people or refusing to leave the house. I’ve had to turn down several roles bc I can’t move. So when a candidate asks if a role is remote, please be open…

What is the right time to switch? January?

Anyone heard of the member analytics group at Aetna? I was approached for a data science role but it seems the group is quite new.

I’m a project manager with 7 years of PM experience in all kinds of industries. I’m currently in construction, but absolutely hate it. I’m looking to break into tech and was wondering if anybody has a good pathway into project management for a tech company. I’ve got a PMP, will have my AWS CCP in the next week and am hoping to have my Scrum Master by the end of the year (I’m on a waiting list)!

Two weeks to kill at the end of year. Planning to do a road trip in south or west starting from Phoenix. Ideas welcome.

Anyone else realize only a few months in that big law just isn’t for them? I hate everything about it already and I’m not even swamped yet. Absolutely wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for loans. If anyone else transitioned out within a year or less, I’d love to hear about your experience.

How is the job security at EY GDS(tech consulting)?

What does "designing 0-1 products" mean? Is that the same as saying designing products from scratch? From the ground up?

I don’t get the obsession with LCOL cities. I busted my ass so I can enjoy NYC/SF comfortably. Not to live in a dystopian Texas suburb.

I’ve been informed that I need to do in vitro if I have kids. I would like to so would like to begin the process now while I’m younger. While PwC covers in vitro, if I choose to get pregnant in a few years versus today and freeze my eggs would they still cover it?

I think since I became a real estate agent my friends are avoiding me... it's like they think I see them as "prospects" rather than my pals. Hard to get out of salesman mode at the end of the day though.

IAB just published a Playbook for using augmented reality in advertising. Do you see interest in AR in agencies? Do you see a need for training in this area?

Does anyone know what the base salary is like for a Creative Strategist for Meta in SG?

It’s been a week since my last interview at Deloitte. I haven’t heard anything, is this typical? When can I expect a response for my second interview?

Made it to the final round of interview at a Branding Agency... I have to present a case study that shows my approach thru 'branding lens' - they gave me a slide deck with such minimal info and I have to present in a few days. Can anyone give me some tips on working on a deck for branding specific case study? I'm coming from tech background so would appreciate the advice!

Any thoughts on Vivaldi Partners (Brand Consulting)? Looking for insights regarding culture, pay, projects, etc.

For those consultants out there ... have you found it valuable to have a formal certification for Digital Transformation Change mgmt? What do you feel is the most valuable/marketable certification?

Question on changing roles: a friend of mine did not pass the final round at BCG for an associate position, due to not having as much relevant experience as the other candidates. However, they are interested in him and will likely offer him a research position. Does anybody know whether it is likely that you can switch from a research role to a consulting role? Very interested to learn if anyone has experienced this :)

Thanks

Got a BS in Advertising in 2018 and have good knowledge of Adobe (photoshop, indesign, illustrator). Agency experience for 6 months doing PR, 1 year at marketing agency (google ads, SEO, analytics) and haven’t been able to work for a year due to visa processing so I’ve been doing freelance work: websites, social media… I believe I want to do strategy at an agency but also like consulting firms. I know my experience is a bit over the place so if anyone has any advice on what’d be a good fit!

I know of the top-tier agencies (BBDO, DDB, Ogilvy, etc) but I don’t know who the top-tier marketing consultancies are. Is there a real list somewhere, that isn’t filled with design/logo shops?
