What’s the shortest amount of time you’ve been in a mixing session before asking the producer for a new sound guy/girl?

Hi all! I was asked coordinate a local happy hour for my team. The issue I’m having is that I’m currently pregnant and am not sure if I’m comfortable to hang out with strangers. What’s the most professional way to say no without hurting feelings / burning bridges? Or should I suck it up and go?

PM’s, directors and MD’s: what has been a marker of a successful 1:1 with a junior analyst for you? What were the one or two things the analyst said or did that made you believe the meeting was useful ?

My coworker constantly undermines me and makes me look bad in team meetings. Should I try and address this directly with them or should I go to my manager first?

What are your tips on convincing a fellow employee not to switch agencies? I really don't want to compete with them

I struggle w/ deep convos in social settings w/ partners. We have team dinners every few weeks that I go to, but find it tough to engage with them. Doing well on case, but feel it’s career limiting.

I have several job offers I am considering. My dilemma is when I put my resignation in for my current employer should I tell them why I’m leaving? (Toxic environment passive aggressive behavior from superiors
And staff that habitually didn’t do their job thoroughly and I was prohibited from writing them up?) thoughts?

Performance review is this week & boss already primed me (trice) abt a time mgmt/prioritization improve plan. I can’t begin to express (but attempt to in comment👇) how wildly out of context this fbk comes considering this flaming 💩 dumpster 🔥 of a workplace situation. Advice: - How do I get through BS mtg w/out hitting mgr w/a R/antiwork-style ✌🏻🖕🏻”bye Felicia”?! Ps. I’m an f’ing adult & welcome fdbk when it’s even mildly in touch w reality.

What does everyone wear for client meetings in a WFH setting

Leaving a company in under 6 months. Any thought how I can initiate this with my manager?

Lady fish, how do you handle catty women at the office? Another advisor seems out to get me for no reason-she is constantly catty toward me and every single encounter and I want to stand up for myself

Ways to overcome fear of public speaking? At times I stutter when I introduce myself and am sick of it

Started a casual relationship with manager now we both ended it. how can I get over the fact that i will keep seeing him at work (different team) and not to think about him sleeping with others?

I am so sick and fed up with some of the older clients at my job. I know it's my responsibility to take care of them, but they're just so sexist sometimes.

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore? For us being in charge is having full assignment 3p-7p & being responsible for assigning pts , communicating w/ supervisor about various issues, making the assignment for next shift, and a mini report about each pt for the next charge. On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.

This company has a toxic environment. Sexual harassment, discrimination and workplace bullying, not just among associates but higher management. If you wanna work somewhere that people constantly call each other names and prey on you, this is the ideal workplace.

Working with a Junior AD who’s too opinionated & doesn’t respond to my feedback well. He’ll just show ideas that I’ve already debunked/scripts that aren’t very good, which makes me look bad. Advice?

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

Happy Halloween, my fellow Tech Pros! I love this Holiday, anyone come up with a creative costume to wear at work?

Question for folks in here who work at a company with unlimited PTO/vacation - how do you manage this from being abused by employees?

Just got staffed on a project in London. Any major differences from American business fashion I should be aware of?

I’m looking to transition from my current sales role (purely operational) to a more creative/strategic role that involves public speaking/facilitation. Have some experience in sales development (mainly business development & strategic advice to C-level), branding/marketing, facilitation (as a side-job) and working with content creators.

I’m new to this space so not sure about what kind of roles there are?

Are tech trans hours better/more predictable than M&A?

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

What’s the work culture at New York life like?

So Houston or Dallas?

Which city is more friendly, Dallas, Austin, or Houston ?

New to city, looking for good restaurant recommendations please.

Any help would be appreciated!

Have the Big 4 raised their initial post-MBA salaries to somewhat match the recent MBB offer changes?

Have you started a new job without taking a break? How was it? I thought I’d have more time to give my notice but the background check took longer than I thought so now I have no wiggle room between my start date and the two week notice.

I have $20k student loans and have been paying $1k per month throughout pandemic to lower the balance. Would you continue to do this? I could pay them off, stop payments in hope of debt relief or keep up with current strategy. TIA

Anyone a CFP as a side hustle?

I have a technical interview with Google Software Engineering team. Anyone know what kind of questions they will ask? What are the best Google offices in the US or Canafa? are they flexible with remote work?

What kind of background verification does deloitte do while onbarding a experienced candidate?

I’m location flexible (working mostly remote) and a petite South Asian young woman who is budget conscious. Would you recommend Astoria or Greenpoint / other Brooklyn neighborhoods for me? I don’t care about being super hip, would like to be in a neighborhood where I feel safe living alone (first time doing so).

How useful is having worked with the PE practice (deal strategy, CDDs, etc.) of a consulting firm vs any other one when trying to break into PE? I understand it's probably better to come from such units but I wanted to understand in which ways it helps. Is it actually irreplaceable skills vs understanding of sector dynamics vs pure prestige?
Ps assuming MBB/Tier 1 consulting firms

There’s a potential partner you’ve heard is very talented - but notably mean under stress. Worth it?

Stop with the unnecessary meetings. PLEASE.

Besides salary, how to pick between job offers?

This is my first post on here as an ACD! Who else is rolling into 2022 with a promotion?

ACDs in tech, what are your salary ranges if you live outside of SF + what city are you in? I’m in SF (big tech co) and given covid, been thinking about leaving but curious what numbers I would be looking at in Seattle vs LA or other cities with tech companies. Thank you!

One Show vs D&AD - which is more respected in Murica? Specifically Murica ya hear?

Should I stay on the advertising side as a creative or pivot to UX and visual design?

Anyone make that switch that could share their experiences?
Or anyone in UX and visual design?

I have had the WORST experiences working with agency recruiters here in NYC lately (I’m shocked that getting worse was even humanly possible) - Is it just me or is anyone else dealing with this?

Question for Gen Z’ers - what are some of the more annoying/toxic things about the agency world you have no patience for/ignore?

Full time creatives who freelance: how do you get these freelance opportunities?

Currently working full time and have no intention of going fully freelance any time soon, but would love to know the best places/sites to look for these freelance opportunities that allow you to do your full-time responsibilities on top of some freelance work.

Best way to find a mentor? I'm trying to better my book to get better jobs but I need some guidance.

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Our tiny team’s designer has left so we’ll need to find a contract designer for a billboard we need to launch in Jan/Feb. We have 3 concepts we’d like to explore. How much should my budget be? Company’s based in California but open to talented designers anywhere.

Interviewing client side for the first time, what are some good questions to ask that one might not think about at an agency?

how do we increase diversity in leadership positions when there are no job openings?

Pudding cups. Bagel bites. Hot pockets. Slim Jims. New ice cream flavors. All new to my house. What cool Shit are you buying for the big hunker in the bunker?

If you win an award for a category you don’t want to be known for (ex. Tobacco, B2B, or pharma), do you still mention it in your resume or book?

I’m going freelance soon and was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their google sheet template they use to keep track of their W2 income? Thank you so much.

I promise you, whatever you have to tell me as I sit down with my lunch is not as important as eating my lunch.
