I’ve never worked there, but they publish a lot in the rags. That said, all of the work in the books looks and reads exactly the same, leading my to believe that the CD takes all the work and “makes it his own.” Either that, or there’s no talent in the building, just workers and a designer who hates copy (unreadable fonts, sloppy headlines, small type).

It’s probably the worst agency in NYC.

Details on why?

You will always, always be working.
Always.

They just did some posters (posted on linked in) for CBD oil for pets and I have to say - the images are .... memorable ....but probably for the wrong reasons. It’s slightly terrifying and a little stereotypical (images of pets strung out). I have a few friends who work there and it does seem like it’s a “work hard play hard “kind of place - if that doesn’t raise a red flag for you then it might be of interest!

I’m amazed those posters made it past legal.

Happy Wednesday everyone. I'm so excited, I have a recruiter call scheduled with @Meta for Administrative Partner position. I've been in my current employer role for 19 years and I'm nervous as heck. I haven't had to do an interview in so long. Can someone please tell me what to expect with the recruiter call? I'm assuming it will be mostly about the role, my skills and background? Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks

I am fairly green in academia (< 1 year) and I want to shift to an area of research which I always wanted to do but never could as a Ph.D. student (because of conflict of interest).
The issue I am facing is that due to lack of my documented research experience in this field (read, lack of papers) I am finding it very hard to land any grant and reviewers keep saying "The PI hasn't demonstrated any experience in said research" blah blah.
Any advice on how to overcome this?

If you’re not competent enough to solve real problems in the organization, create a few minor problems that you can solve and look like a hero.
