What if all the top agencies banded together to boycott predatory advertising awards in 2026, instead using the steep entry fees and agency resources to authentically do good (whether that’s within their own company or the community)?

Are there any good movies or novels that show skill development - like follow through? Self-management? Money management? I read a lot of self help books so I know a lot of the theory, and books peppered with examples help, but I feel like most 1 paragraph examples don’t five justice to how hard it may be to change a behavior.

I'm thinking about cutting off my beard.

Career advice?

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Any opinions/tips?

Just want to be clear. You don’t have to mention race to be racists.

Can someone very simply explain to me the formulas for cross tab and transpose pertaining to the amount of records in the output. For example the append tool is RECORDS x RECORDS since it’s a Cartesian join.

My understanding is transpose is rows x columns but I keep hearing conflicting info

Please any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Has anyone received a job offer after being initially ghosted by recruiter? How long did you not hear from them? Feeling down after not hearing anything for 2 weeks after a round of seemingly promising interviews.

I've received an offer from another agency and my manager says he needs to see it before a counter offer. He says it's GroupM policy. Is that true? Thank you!

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.”

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.

Love the role and opportunity, but anyone ever turn down a job offer because their prospective office looked like crap? Think 1980's old school office.
