What’s the scoop on VML consumer?

I’m new to the firm. My third project my manager was very hands off. He’s wants to have a discussion with me about my performance. He did not give me any support to work with; even when I asked! And my direct manager agrees with him, but it was my third week. What to do? I feel like I’m going to say something crazy. Any advice?

I’ve heard salaries have gone up quite a bit in the midst of the pandemic and I’m wondering if this is true for EAs as well. There’s a myriad of data online about EA salaries depending on age/experience but I’m interested in salaries from jobs accepted in 2020/2021 specifically!

Please feel free to share:

- Your salary from any job accepted in 2020/2021
- Any offers you may have received but rejected
- Your length of experience

Thank you!

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?

But is there something you did/wish you'd done to improve your abilities, develop your career path, or open your mind?

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?

Trying to make jump to ACD. Just updated book. Like it. Proud of it. Don't have any of the awards my ad chums have. Do I need to do something stunty to get noticed by bigger agencies? Any other tips?

Has anyone experienced being partnered with someone at a different level or point in their career? Did it harm/ help you? How do you navigate getting partnered with someone at a different level, or asking to have a partner with your level of experience without causing an issue?

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.
