When you're pretty sure it would be easier to survive Game of Thrones as a main character for 6 seasons than to rewrite the 40 page walkthrough correctly. 🙄🙄💀💀

Where to eat tonight ?

I’ve bought Arrid Extra Dry cream deodorant by the case for decades, and they’ve stopped making it! Using Mitchum now and I don’t like the smell, I sweat through Secret... what do you all use?

Any non-fiction book recommendations? I normally don’t like NF but recently read Bad Blood by John Carreyrou and loved the style/pace. Any similar recs?

Hidden gem restaurants in or around Philly? Planning a special bday dinner.

I’m looking at furthering my wine education. Should I take a wine making course or a somm-type tasting course first? Wondering if the order of one before the other would help build better foundation.

Definitely not a fan of Westin's "Eat Well" proposition. I'm working in the room at 2:00 AM and the most appetizing menu item is a cold turkey avocado and arugula wrap. I just want a burger and fries!

Please tell us, since COVID started:

-weirdest thing you've eaten
-weirdest thing you've watched
-weidest thought you've had.

Hi fishes, how is credit risk team in citi? How is work life balance and overall team ? Please suggest

I recently completed two rounds of Interview,
01 with the hiring managers (Senior Vice President & Vice President) and second was with the Director, the second round happened approx. 2 weeks back, currently my job application status shows as "Business Review" can someone shed a light on what this means and how long does it take for Citi to get back with an answer i.e. am i selected or rejected.

Is anyone familiar with post IB exit into something like IR? Still new to the game and other than PE (due to the herd mentality), I don’t know much about other exits for better work/life balance. If anyone has insight on type of work, recruiting process, and comp it would be super appreciated. TIA

Hello seeking referrals for consultant roles. Have ~1 YOE in healthcare consulting and previous RA experience as well. TIA

I'm not hung up on PE/buy side exits, not closed off but nbd. Would be just as happy to stay and make MD (or exit into corp dev if I want an easier life when I'm older)

My dilemma:

I'm at a LMM investment bank. Can get crazy sometimes, but otherwise chill. Typically done around 7-9 pm, had maybe three 1 am nights. Haven't worked a weekend in over a month. Fridays almost always done at 5 pm.

Have an offer at a reputable MM bank but probably pretty sweaty. Worth the move?

Can anyone give ideas on Novartis case Study round?
Can I prepare it from somewhere?

This may sound odd, but can you run an agency without an ECD/CCO?? (Asking for a friend)

Hey New Yorkers! Have a celebratory team win and want to take my team out (6-8 of us) in NYC for a nice day. Everyone is vaccinated but want to keep things outdoors. Any fund recommendations? Was thinking maybe a catered rooftop bar and meal somewhere with an activity beforehand. Any favorite spots or things to do?

People didn’t hate advertising when it was about creativity and not technology. Just saying.

Just had someone in NYC I want to work for ask me my salary. It's illegal now but I didn't know how to tell them. I told them my range. What would you have said?

Is the emperor wearing any clothes?

No finesse in this McGregor / Merryweather fight promo ... this is the Trump-dashian sht show of premier fighting events. Class and taste have taken a major hit in the age of the interwebs.

How did your agency handle layoffs? All-agency meeting before they started? After they ended? Both?

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?

Two thumbs up for 1/1 launches, and Saturday before Christmas trafficking 👍🏻👍🏻

So at 72andSunny they told us we weren't making ads but rather "art for commerce". It's a nice thought ... until you buy a ticket to the wrong weekend at Cannes !! 😡 anyone else have this problem?

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

I've been getting poached on LinkedIn by omnicom the past few weeks. Something about building a new "marketing research team". Anyone either at Omnicom or elsewhere know what this department could be?
