Head of creative inhouse somewhere.

More importantly, did it work?

Yes.

I think he was hired at D5 from memory… dunno what happened since

Well, I hope he’s doing well. Because i’m not a bitter frustrated creative.

Wait what did he do? I’m confused on the wording lol

He bought CDs names as search terms, and when they googled their own names a message popped up with his portfolio.

So does this mean he was hired by a fart-sniffing CD?

His name was Robert Paulson

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say.

Hmm I'm not sure. I don't even remember that guy.

I have 6.8 YOE in compliance as financial analyst. how much CTC can I expect in UBS If applying for AO level.

Hello Fishes.. I had applied for a position and had completed the cultural assessment. Received an automated mail that said “we will be in touch soon”. It’s been more than 20 days and haven’t received any communication. Should I expect any reply now? What’s the usual procedure like?

When I negotiated my comp, all my discussions were around me being a junior and I only accepted my comp for that reason (would not have accepted if I was step above junior since it was low). Negotiations happened with HR, but my offer letter and documents never mention junior (but I have proof from HR saying I am a junior). How do I approach this with my boss as I’m not sure she’s aware I’m actually technically a junior? Revolving around asking for a move up + raise
