What is the grade in IBM for a director level position

A company was pretty aggressively recruiting me until 4 interviews in — no movement. I haven’t heard back in a week and a half about next steps. Should I assume I won’t be moving forward any longer? I emailed the recruiter a few days ago to check in, and no response. (She typically replies very quickly and I was told I’m one of the top two final candidates 😕)

I’m working on casting hosts for a branded content series in the travel and hospitality space. Wondering if anyone has recommendations for where to tap that talent? They don’t need to be SME’s or influencers in the space, but mid level experience hosting.

Is it true that EY is mulling over layoffs as client projects are reducing..?

Truth be told I have never been through onboarding via remote. It’s a bit of a struggle. It’s taking forever to get access to certain resources and my assigned mentor is always underwater. How is everyone dealing with this? My manager seems hard to please in our first couple 1:1s.

I have a question about pricing. Some context to my upcoming question: My brother and I are starting a personal training business. I have six years military experience and he is still in the military. Collectively we have passed the hardest schools in the military and both love fitness and have experience building programs and are both certified personal trainers. I don’t know weather we should charge on the higher spectrum because of our experience or lower because of our business infancy.

Been doing some LinkedIn/cold email reachout to alum through the Mypenn directory. Some responded quite promptly, others I have not heard from. What has been your “success rate” of cold reach out to alum? And if no response, how have you been following up?

Any experienced senior managers that have moved between Big 4 firms? Can you speak towards your experience, any struggles, and opportunities in terms of partner promotion? Frankly, EY path to partner seems to be too clouded (long pipeline, no clear direction/path, uncertainty on promotion cycles, etc.) at the moment and I would like to visit all options. Appreciate the input.

Does Trinity have an offshore team? Or all work is done by onshore folks only?

Hi! Does anyone work for DeciBio? I’ve been trying to break into consulting and believe their Life Science Analyst position would be perfect for me. So far I love everything i’ve read about the firm, but i’d love to talk more with someone and possibly get a referral. I plan to apply this week. Thanks!

Any interest in a life science-focused pulse on comp across firms a la litquidity’s for investment banking?

I hate it when I hear an AD say they "can't draw." No one is expecting a work of art, just a shitty sketch that illustrates the idea.

Nike picking Colin Kaepernick as the face of your campaign is questionable at best. Why choose someone so divisive when you have so many other athletes that are more broadly viewed favorably?

Dear CDs and ecds who give all the good projects to your favs, know that we all see you and your favs will be the first to leave because you stacked their books too fast. Love, everyone else.

I came across a copywriter position that I’m interested in, but one of the requirements is 8 years of experience. I’m currently just over 5 years. Would it be ok to still apply?

Best website service / hosting for portfolio sites? I’m leaning Adobe, but interested to hear what else is good

Does your company pay for parking (if they don’t have a designated lot)? If no, do you believe they should they pay for it? Thoughts on this?

Can anyone explain why agencies seem to favor hiring a ton of freelance people over full time creatives? I can’t imagine it’s cheaper than paying someone a salary.

What’s the worst review experience you’ve had?

What’s the best way of selling work to your boss if he’s just not current on new stuff? I keep getting handed references from some directors from 10 years ago and I want to say “hey, what about something from this year, not last century”

If you have previously declined an offer from an agency, how long should you wait before applying there again - if ever?

When sending a cold email to a recruiter, should you include a reason why you’re interested in the agency? Or keep it short and sweet with your book, resume and what you’re looking for?

Who is your favorite director you have ever worked with and why?

Junior here. How common is it to be nudged off a brief when you can't get ideas through internally? My partner and I are often put on the same briefs as more experienced (sometimes senior) teams. As a result, their work tends to make it through to the client presentation while most of ours dies somewhere along the way from CD to CCO. Is this worth worrying over?

Hey CDs and ACDs: when you were mids and seniors what do you wish you'd had to help you grow and get to the stage you're at now?

I'm a senior AD and all the resources out there are for juniors. I'm not sure what I need - I feel pretty confident in most areas - so maybe all I need is time to practice and get better. But is there something you did/wish you'd done to improve your abilities, develop your career path, or open your mind?
