Does where you get your masters degree matter? I’m in an online environmental science masters program at an expensive “name-brand” school, but have colleagues telling me I should transfer to a less expensive program to save $ because no one cares about where your degree is from. Aside from the cost of it, I like my program, and the fact that I’m now connected to an incredible alumni network. And not gonna lie, I like the clout. Thoughts?

Hi everyone.
Just reached final on-site round for a Senior Manager position in the logistics department. Role is for Amazon UK. Recruiter is asking me now for my expected compensation (base salary + total comp) via email. Any idea what to aim for?

Hi all, has anyone in supply chain taken one of the certification exams? (CPSM, CPSD, CSCP)
Does it help in any way besides refreshing contents about supply chain?

Any insights appreciated. #supplychain #cpsm #cpsd #cscp #education #certifications

Looking for senior Salesforce developers/architects in the US! Joined my previous mentor in starting a new Salesforce practice. Company is based in SF but we’re ok with folks working remotely.

Hi, I'm looking for advice on what the best CRM platform is that has the best marketing capabilities but also integrates with Zendesk. We currently use Zoho, but it is seemingly impossible to design it the way we want our CRM/operations/marketing to work together and all the different apps is so confusing. TYIA!

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII. It has really disheartened me and I feel I should be earning more money

I just got called about a job on Thursday, showing interest. They’re already back in the office so the job would require me to be. Said they’re classified as an essential business because most of their advertising is for healthcare. Is this a hard red flag? Really Seems like it.

Let's play a game. Rate agency positions in order of best - worst to work in based on your opinion and put a star next to the department you're in. Creative, strategy, production, tech, account* 😢😀

Anyone participate in the 4A's Institute? Philly presentations are coming up this week! Any recommendations?

Looking to take a break from the advertising agency world (honestly pretty burnt out on ad land) Thoughts on working at an agency who may be more focused on branding or content creation. Anyone made the jump?

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

Feeling especially Mondazed today. 😖 Any good recos to lighten up a morning?

Are there any agencies where creatives actually have good work-life balance in LA, SF or anywhere else for that matter? Like no weekends or no working more than a 40-50hr week? Or do I have to go in house for this? Or do I have to leave advertising altogether?

I feel like I’m either getting burnt out by work or trying to heal myself from it. There’s never much time for real life and I don’t want to be on my death bed reminiscing like, “Wow, I made some cool ads.” Nothing scares me more.

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?

Pretty over agency life, best brands to go client-side?

“have fun with this brief” they say before telling you the client is pretty conservative and needs to have safer options.

i know we don’t always work on stuff we’re thrilled about but i’ve never dreaded reviews for a client before until now

I’ve been working my ass off to make it to ACD and I feel like this milestone has been all-consuming. I’m close, I can feel it. But will I be full-filled when I get there? And if so, for how long? Curious to hear from others about their climb up the ladder and if the hunger and drive ever subsides to an acceptable level.

Why do companies do this? I interviewed with a company. They loved my work and told me that I’m going to start the following week. They made me sign all of the onboarding papers and poof ghosted me! 🤦‍♀️ I feel so down right now! And I feel like I won’t be able to ever land a job!

Is possible to have "real friends" in the ad world? Do you trust your coworkers or do you feel that they are going to throw you under the bus just to save their asses?

I keep hearing about Consulting girls coming for and getting traditional advertising work...and I believe it. As a Strategy exec in Pharma advertising, what's keeping me from jumping ship to McKinsey

The moment you say something is going to be "LIT AF," I no longer want to come.
