Having to present a deck I didn’t write.

like

Oh 100%. When I was new to my role in this industry, my manager pinged me 10 before a huge client presentation and said he was sick and could no longer attend and walk through a 20 page presentation, and told me to do it. I had no idea what I was presenting as I had not seen the deck. His advice? Read off the slides. I was panicking trying to speak to any questions the client had. I think it’s honestly given me a bit of PTSD, lol😅

Does anyone know of any remote contract jobs in auditing? Specifically, risk management, compliance or internal auditing? I’m able to work 20+ hours a week. I’m a detailed-oriented person and and a great communicator. I also have a lot of experience in presentation design and enjoy doing those a lot. I would prefer a contract job receiving a 1099 and am not interested in being a w-2 employee. Please let me know if any of you have any referrals. Thank you and I appreciate any tips you can give.

I’m in IT in a large corp and I don’t know what to do. I’m the systems engineer and I planned around what I thought was a straight forward concept. It appears what I thought would be possible was wrong. Everyone celebrated thinking I’d figured it out, including me. Were spinning up a full team to build it and I’ve exhausted all avenues to find an alternative solution. There isn’t. Horrified this is a career limiting situation….

I have been freelancing (right after graduation) for over 2 years now as a paid media strategist/ a performance marketer. In the upcoming months I wish to join an agency to get corporate exposure.

How do you determine an agency that's right fit for you. I was thinking about giving a shot at GroupM. What are your views about the agency?

Any better agencies that also accept remote roles?
