What do you do when you hate your account and not particularly fond of your co-workers? There's a spot open and there's a good chance that I will get it but I don't know if I really want it

As a strategy intern I would take it. There aren't very many entry level strategy roles around. Sorry to tell you.

First strategy lesson. You're an intern. You want to be a strategist. Take the strategy job. Commit a year. Part of the job is weathering a tough situation and learning to make sense of it to help everyone on the account. Good luck.

I wouldn't take a job if I hated the work and the people. That sounds like a recipe for misery

If you really want to work in strategy, take it. It's real hard to get strategy jobs. People try for years to do what you have the opportunity to do now.

Grass is always greener. You are an intern and haven't even been offered the job yet. Slow your roll.

Yeah if it's strategy I'd take it, that doesn't happen often. How bad could your team be? Find a way to like them and/or befriend other people in the agency.

Take it. Managing to get yourself a strategy position straight away will effectively put you 2 years ahead of the curve while most start in other disciplines before pushing their way into strategy.

Hi Boss Ladies!
I’m 32, and on the fast track to senior leadership positions w/in Investment/Finance industry. I’m thinking about getting a career coach as a sounding board to navigate the next leg (MD/EVP to Partner) in this highly competitive, very male dominated field. Has anyone here hired a career coach? Pros? Cons? What were the biggest questions you were hoping to discuss? Anyone that you would recommend? (I’m located in Boston, but very open to a virtual coach)

Hey Kanban fans -

Trello? Jira? Other? Why?

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Trello. Can go shallow or deep. Can't beat it for ease of use, robust free features, lot's of options from them/3Ps on the paid side. I haven't had a lot of success on data/tracking / reporting sides.
