Hi everyone, I have 2 years of experience in a service based industry as a Java developer, and I am eager to work hard and switch to a reputed product based organisation, but I am not getting proper time to study and practice data structures and algorithms, as I have so much to learn and understand things which are related to my project. Any suggestions would be appreciated and I'll try to inculcate it. Thanks in advance! Amazon Oracle Samsung Microsoft Cisco Salesforce Arcesium Uber

What would make sense:
1. Recruiters & HR
2. Strategy
3. Analytics
4. Account
5. Creative
What happens in real life:
(Just reverse the above order)
There would still be strategy being done. The creatives would do it. Many creatives have been trained on basic strategy and are quite used to supplementing bad strategists.
Crisis comms pros never get laid off. Most secure job in the world.
Uh are you asking us to tell you who you should lay off first?
Haha no! Just want you hear your hypothesis on who goes first and who goes last
Freelance (former Droga5) 1
There usually is a core client relationship/strategy and core agency operations staff and then a more variable executional staff (people delivering against client deliverables which ebbs and flows). If client work is cut, executional folks go first.
Agencies usually try to lay off as few people as they can. Since creatives make the most, they’re often the first to go.
Creative (particularly digitally adverse ones) and experiential.
Those with the least difficult to replace skill set.
So why are creatives often the first to go and HR is the last to go?
we laid off people
from all teams and departments last week.
Creatives and Account seem like the first to go. Probably because others feel like they can do account stuff and creatives because they have big salaries.
We had furloughs last week - all areas were cut except for client service (though we lost one) since we’re the ones who are supposed to be convincing clients not to cut everything.
Depends on which clients are still paying / what they’re still paying for
Imagine you have a five-piece band. Lead singer, lead guitarist, rhythm guitar, bass player and drummer. You have to lay off two people, and replace them with freelance session musicians.
Who would you pick?
Agency logic: Oh, let’s fire the lead singer and the lead guitarist, nobody will notice the difference.
