Im wondering if anyone knows what the “rules” are re: being contacted while out on leave. My VP has said she’ll be texting me if she needs anything, and while I don’t want to be unhelpful,I REALLY don’t want to think about work at all while I’m out. Are there any guidelines regarding what is and isn’t ok in this context? Im thinking if it gets to be too much I’ll be very slow to respond and train her to not expect to hear back quickly, and she can find answers for herself. Any insights?

Just scheduled a meeting to go over an offer for a Senior Engineer role. When asked what I would need to make in order to leave my current job, I said at least $160k depending on benefits (I know I shouldn't have given a number).

I make a little over $145k now, plus stock options, a monthly home office stipend (fully remote), and your usual health benefits.

Assuming their benefits are comparable to my current position, have I given up all negotiation power by providing the initial number?

I’ve spent months asking for a promotion for him, trying to push his career forward and got no traction. I know i did my best. He knows i tried. I still believe i work at a good place but i feel like we’re losing focus. I feel my boss is leaving soon. It’s a mess.

Favorite podcasts/blogs/media to get you smart and help you think outside the box?

Serious question, please answer objectively. Are your sales teams all a nightmare to work with? I think we all understand that sales teams can be pushy (it’s their job to be that way with clients), but I get consistent feedback from my operations teams that sales is aggressive and disrespectful.

Is it just my company or is it like this everywhere?

Thinking bout an MBA to get into client side (brand manager) role. Only 2 years of agency experience though. Thoughts?

In every interview when they ask “why strategy” I never feel like my answer is sufficient enough. Even if it’s a straight fwd, honest answer... is there something they’re looking for?

My current role is about a 80/20 split between strategy and planning vs traditional account management. I’m looking to make a move brand side. What sorts of roles would be a natural fit in your opinions, and why?
