What’s Publicis really like? A lot of great strategists that I respect have gone there, seems to be great. What’s it really like inside? Publicis

What are ways I can spend my $200 airline credit for the Amex platinum ? I saw upgrades don’t count and I have status so already get free baggage, lounge etc.

Love how BS credit score is. Got my score up to 800 last month only to go on vacation so my credit utilization went up to 8% due to the increased spending and my score dropped 35 points because I didn’t immediately pay the balance after charging the purchases. I always pay my balance in full each month and have never missed a payment, how is 8% credit utilization determined to be that big of a risk that my score got immediately wrecked, I don’t understand

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?

Thoughts on MMC as an agency?

Im not sure whats going wrong. I got a call from Microsoft recruiter , she told me budget is for 14lakhs , im shocked after hearing this as i already have 8.2 YOE into data analytics. I thought big branded companies offer huge hikes

Okay so, its been a while since I've been seeing this in Linkedin:
The Job requirement says its Entry Level, but the experience it requires is always 6 year+... like how would a fresher match that.. should I've started coding at 6th grade or what?

I understand that it's a way of "SEO" in LinkedIn but it just discourages us freshies.

Actually not sure if this post belongs in this bowl but.. it is what it is?
P.s. I still apply to these because what's the worst that could happen... right?

Hi! I’m an account coordinator looking to make the jump to strategy (at some point.) Has anybody made that jump/does anyone have advice? Thanks! 😊

Who hires junior strategists? Where should I start looking? I’m loving my planning internship right now, but I want to apply elsewhere in case I don’t get an offer, but I’m not seeing anything open.

What’s is like going from social strategy to brand strategy? Advice for making that career jump?

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?
