What’s the order of titles in strategy? Junior then strategist then senior and then what? Director? Associate director? Not sure it matters but I’m trying to understand the hierarchy between people

It depends on the agency. Some have svp, some have group planning director. Add the different varieties of strategy and it gets even more confusing. But in short it’s basically something like:
Jr
Regular
Sr
Director
Vp
Svp/gpd
Evp
Cso

I would agree with above but sometimes these are collapsed at places - vp director for example and SVP and group planning director or even dept head at times. EVP and CSO also sometimes go together in places where there are not both

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team.

Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?
