Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

What is SM role salary band with Big 4 Value Service Creation/M&A offering? What is a sign on bonus?

Negotiating a settlement. I’m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client won’t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client won’t budge from that. Do I offer 12.5k so we can hopefully meet in the middle at 15k? Is that how the settlement game is played? Seems dumb we can’t just say let’s meet in the middle now and be done with this. (I’m a first year, first time negotiating a settlement on my own and I don’t want to screw this up!)

Need one help.
How much starting level Analytics Managers are making with YOE and org? Will help me evaluate my current offer.

Do you say “remuneration” in place of Compensation or in place of Total Rewards? For some reason I thought it was more related to TR and both Comp and Remuneration were used globally.

Stop asking if we can unionize after being asked to work over the weekend.

Pros and cons of taking a class year cut? Partner sees my potential and that there’s an actual evolution but I’m not there yet in terms of experience compared to my peers so he told me to at least consider a class year cut.

Hi all,

Currently, I am working in TCS and I have offer from CTS. Now, TCS trying to retain me with similar hike offered by CTS.

Can I ask for a slight increase ($5K) in salary if I already signed an offer letter? Their highest threshold was $5K more than what the offer was. If so, how do I go about it?

Supposed to hear back by EOW from a hiring manager about a position I’m deep in the interview process for. There should be an iPhone setting called “mute all notifications except the one I care about”

Feeling disheartened after sending out 100+ applications with radio silence back. No rejections but no invited to interview either. I feel like my resume looks good, but I have not gone the referral route as of now. 1 YOE

I completed all rounds of interviews for a new role last Friday. Sent the recruiter an email on Monday asking if she needs any info blah blah, haven't heard back anything about next steps, etc. Should I send a follow-up today?

If pay was the same, which firm you do choose to do Cyber in: KPMG, EY, or Accenture?

Hello, I have 4 years of experience between Financial decision support and pricing. However, I feel like my experience is too narrowed to how my current company operates. I am looking to pivot into consulting at one of the big4 ( for ~2-3 years)or any other consulting firm to have a well rounded experience that could be applicable to any industry. Any advices ?or thoughts ?

How are you all getting away with not giving recruiters a comp range? I turn the question back to them but most recruiters I’ve spoken to were persistent. “We have to put a number in your application”. *rolls eyes

Hi Guys, please give 11 likes to enable DM, Thanks in advance.😊

Thoughts on including certificates like Prosci or SHRM-SCP in an email signature? I don’t like it right after my name, but I’ve seen some other alternatives (like putting the digital badge icons) - what looks the best?

If I wanted to have the most epic destination bridal shower ever - where would I go and what would I do?

Does anyone else struggle immensely with cleaning/keeping things clean? I struggle with clutter.
I haven’t been able to get my apartment clean since I moved in over a year ago and it’s just a disaster.
What do you do? I can’t really afford to hire someone so I need all the info.

People ask me all the time why I have to work evenings and weekends but I don’t have a real explanation aside from “it’s just how ad agencies are 🤷🏻‍♀️” What makes a better agency?

A few years in and I’m finding that the people who have made their entire persona “advertising creative” are secretly the most miserable. I’m taking it as a lesson to treat this as a job and not a calling because it’s ultimately pretty empty.

Facebook shutting down Oculus Story Studio... VR dead?

a friend just let it slip that it's generally known that I'm an asshole. feeling hurt and not sure how to proceed from here.

Anyone on here worked with Edelman? Pros? Cons?

Just realized it's not Friday ☹️

Confession: Sometimes I give money to homeless people that look like they might be an undercover billionaire looking for a kind soul to leave their fortune to. Does that make me a bad person?

Manager texted me at ~10pm asking for a non-critical update. I chose not to respond (until morning) because I don't want to allow a bad habit to form. Thoughts?

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❤️

Which agencies in NYC still give bonuses?

O&M Creative: more shuffling still to come? And by shuffling, I mean layoffs too.

How’s BFG lookin these days?

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?

Junior designer here looking to connect with some Philly-area shops— I’m from the area and have recently been trying to learn more about the local agency scene. Would love it if people could drop some names or even some recruiter info. Thanks!!

What do you guys think of JvM / Sports these days?

Working with another agency on a project and think I'd rather work there. Protocol for reaching out to someone to pick their brain? Email? LinkedIn message?
