What would you choose: being a big fish in a small pond or vice versa?
Have an interview with my dream (independent) agency next week, for a lateral move on a new account. My current holding company agency isn’t quite as top-tier as the potential new gig, but I’m valued/recognized by leadership, have been promoted twice in less than 4 years, and overall know I’ve got it very good here. Definitely champagne problems lol, but would love some perspective!

TFW you interview for the same gig as your coworker and you are more qualified (you gave them advice) and they say you were great, but they get the gig. Am I wrong to think what I’m thinking? 🤔

When is an appropriate time to send a follow up email after interviewing? Is a week too soon?

Considering a move in-house to NBC Universal in any litigation role (though I’d really go to wherever there is a need, whether litigation or business affairs generally). Coming from 4th year law firm litigation experience in a variety of areas but mostly data breach, e-discovery, breach of K. Do I apply with an employee referral or via LinkedIn recruiter that reached out? Alternatively, if anyone has experience applying/at NBCU, I’d so appreciate general advice :) TIA.

What “lifestyle” exit opportunities pay decently? Been interviewing for corporate development and strategic finance roles but total comp looks to be almost a 50% pay cut.

I recently gave Capgemini Java B2 Consultant technical interview (java Spring Boot, Functional programming). The interview went well and the interviewer told that HR will contact me. When can I expect a HR round to happen? Please advise.

I have 7 plus experience in c++. I am trying new job within Chennai location but I am getting 1 or 2 interview calls for a month. I know c++ is old language and openings are very less and competitor people also less.
Shall learn new courses like AWS... its totally different from my experience I am not sure it will help to my career.

Could you please suggest shall I continue with c++ or shall I go with other platforms. Since I am getting very low package.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

Interviewing for a Practice Manager position, what Level should I expect (L6/7/8/9?) Also, any interview prep advice?

Hi everyone,

I'm going for a role for Account Director and have gone through the interviews with the head of accounts, BD as well as the ECD's. I received the following email at the end of the day:

"You are one of two candidates in the final round.

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."

What would be the best way to answer this response? Appreciate the help

I wanted to get people's opinions on leetcode, codewars etc when prepping for interviews. I am a junior full stack dev looking to move to a better paying junior role or a mid role and honestly these style of questions have always stumped me. I have found that in a year of work to have never found them useful in tackling real world issues. Now I'm moving from a junior to a mid can I still expect leetcode style questions?

I work mainly with react, TS, node, graphql, mongoose and mongoDB.

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.
It’s discouraging because I’m a fast learner, and from talking to my friends who are Financial Analysts, it doesn’t seem like what we do is so dissimilar.

Looking for a PwC referral. My current company has been great but we were acquired by a start up PE firm a year ago and I feel like the acquisition is starting to hinder my growth. I have 3 years experience in strategic sourcing and procurement transformation, initially starting as an intern. I want to continue advancing my career but feel stuck. Trying to give this company a chance but see an opportunity at PWC I think I would be a great fit for. Any advice?

Does anyone become more jaded towards their company / being in consulting by being on this app / seeing what is posted in their company bowl? I feel like this is the place to talk about things we typically wouldn’t talk about in the larger workplace setting (which is great, don’t get me wrong), but can’t help but feel that this app definitely helps me see the ugly side (more so than the nice side) of consulting.

Does Deloitte do welcome packages and, if yes, do they include a notebook? Asking for someone with an unhealthy obsession with paper products.

which agencies in the city are creative driven rather than account driven

I was furloughed yet it doesn’t start until Friday. Per the VPs, this week we have to “transfer our knowledge” to our bosses. Bosses who haven’t been on these projects. Any advice?

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

I laugh during awkward situations. The other day someone called me out on laughing. It was awkward.

Has this happened to anyone else recently?

Recruiter on LinkedIn: Hey we saw your work and were impressed with your ____ project. we’d love to setup some time to chat.

Me: ok great. Here’s when I’m free_______

Recruiter on LinkedIn: Sorry have to cancel the meeting, doesn’t seem like your experience matches the job we are currently offering.

This has happened 4 times in the past few months. Like you reached out to me??

In a typical advertising creative team structure, who vets the new hires? ECD? CD? Trying to get some clarity as I work at a small shop with CD being the highest title.

Tired of this constant grind and constant layoff situation in NYC. Thinking of making the move to LA. Any thoughts? Yay or nay?

Getting really frustrated with a boss that is completely bipolar in our interactions. Management does not seem willing to tell them to stop being psycho. Beginning to think the only way out is out

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

I think I’m potentially about to be fired this week in retaliation from my boss...what should I do?

Anybody have any tips on how to go about the relocation conversation? I’m looking to move out of the city with our main office to a city with a much smaller office. With post-covid office culture I can’t imagine it’s that big of an ask. That said, I’m in a junior role and have been with the company for less than a year so I don’t know if this is a question I should really even ask at this time.

My controversial opinion of the day is that organic social is worth fuckall for the majority of brands (including the trendy lifestyle ones) and that influencers are just propping up vanity metrics.
