What kind of AI tools are people in the advertising field expected to be good at these days? I see a layoff coming up soon, and I want to prepare myself during this time to be more competent, and I guess head-to-head with my competition. I'd love to see comments with your top 3 suggestions for me.

That's a good question. I've been skeptical of the AI hype, but we're getting to the point where it can't be ignored any longer. I've been thinking of taking Google's AI Essentials course in the spring, and proceeding from there. I assume it won't matter so much which tools one uses, but proficiency in using them might matter.

It's more important that you start a habit of keeping up with the latest and greatest since the tools being used change so rapidly

I’m seeing a lot of expectation around being decent with AI copy tools, image tools, and maybe something for analytics or testing. Knowing even 2–3 well seems like it could really help right now.

One of the worst double standards in corporate america.

Companies especially startups expect you to not keep interviewing when you accept a job offer. “It can deteroriate your brand.”

But companies would replace you in a heartbeat for almost any reason. Including interviewing a candidate who will replace you (you will be fired as soon as they find a person).

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?

Freelance talent available. Would love to discuss any opportunities you guys come across

I recently saw a job opening at a company that I really love, and would like to apply. The recruiter has posted it on her Linkedin several times, each time with multiple hashtags about diversity. I am straight off the Mayflower white. Does applying look super tone-deaf? Is this an unofficial way of stating that they’re only considering non-white individuals for the role?

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
