I want to leave advertising, serious replies please

Hi all! Has anyone had any luck finding a new job during this pandemic? I'm afraid I am about to be officially let go (was furloughed) and would like to start sending out my resume. Does anyone know of agencies that are currently hiring EAs/admins?

Anyone know a good auditing firm for music royalties?

EY India folks - are you allowed to take up GDS assignments? Like wise is GDS also allowed to take up India assignments?

I filed my tax with TurboTax. It said my estimated refund is $700. I got a letter from IRS saying I actually owe $400. When I looked into it I realized they didn’t account for my 2021 quarterly estimates that I paid with my ex-wife last year. In our divorce decree we agreed to claim half of the credits each. But I guess for their record it’s all under her name. It’s impossible to reach IRS and also I really want to avoid contacting my ex. What would be the best approach for this?

Hi all, I’m working with KPMG India. I had a question, i wanted to shift to the KPMG Middle East without quitting my job. So my question is that is this possible that i get an internal job switch with the same company to the middle eastern branch or does KPMG don’t allow you to do that?

Question re. Global Entry - expires end of December.. close locations are sold out on appointments until March. Can’t seem to call them, but read somewhere they are offering extensions. Anyone know??

We decided to do a photo session before the wedding for the two of us and family. The photographer and the location were amazing but the makeup was terrible, and because I was low on time, I couldn't fix it before the photos. The makeup artist make me look yellow! Idk if there's anything that could be done at this point, but feeling so disappointed :(

Community Manager: Outdated term for social. What would you rebrand it as for a more real-time & accurate description of life in social? 🤔

That Ram Ad??? 🙄

Thoughts on Facebook as an employer? Do they pay well? Interesting / fun work? How limiting is the horizontal reporting structure?

What’s the worst advice you’ve ever gotten in this business?

Mine, as an account person: “You should take more credit for the creative that’s presented.”

If you get an offer a few days before you have a final interview (or while you're waiting to hear back), is it okay to ask for some time? Or do they expect you to answer right there?

i'm in the final round for 2 different media positions in 2 completely different places (NYC and NC) and things are moving really quickly for both. the NYC job is my dream one but they're both offering $40k so i'm conflicted. any advice would be helpful lol

Facebook shutting down Oculus Story Studio... VR dead?

I find it insane that recruiters have been calling me on Teams. How is that ok and not seen as disruptive?

Anyone find themselves waking up with a migraine, naseau, and throwing up Saturday after a work week? Been happening to me for almost 4 weeks straight now

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

As bad as my job may be, someone out there has to write an Effie entry for Weathertech

What's the best website that lists out current agency client rosters? (I've seen this before on FB but can't find the thread. FB - please add search functionality!!)

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

Time to hire—I've seen dozens of fledgling lists/databases of available creative talent & diverse talent. Which ones are people actually using?

With the way this week has been going, Friday 13th with a harvest moon seems downright dangerous 🌚 halp

How to layoffs (in the creative dept.) work?

What’s something a guy has said in a meeting you could never pull off as a woman? I’ll go. One time a guy creative was presenting his work and said “yeah this was just me being lazy and not wanting to do any work” and he literally suggested we do the same ads as last year, with a different celebrity plugged in. CDs in the meeting laughed and considered it for a minute. If I had presented that and said I was being lazy, I would prob be put on the chopping block.

I’m considering making a jump from planner to analyst. Thoughts? Anything I should know?

Future 'Havas Health & You'ers (yes I know terrible name)... what's the verdict. Are they moving the 200 Hudson folks to 200 Madison?
