LA: after months of layoffs and salary reductions, we are back! Looking to hire a rockstar LA-based Project Manager at our small independent agency.

I’m a senior associate and received an offer to join a very profitable client as general counsel that would open lots of doors professionally and financially. Problem is I’m super burned out on law and was planning on quitting law firm in the next few weeks and doing something else with my life. Someone kick some sense into me before I decline the offer.

For startup founders/people with a successful side project: How did you get the idea/inspiration for your business? I’m currently working at a Series B startup and my end goal has always been to found my own startup, but I graduated from college 2.5 years ago and I still have not had any great ideas cross my mind. I do spend a fair amount of time brainstorming. I don’t want to continue working here forever, but I’m struggling to generate that “this is it” idea to build a company for. Any advice?

Looking for advice on business trips. My boss kindly asked me if I want to go meet a client out of state along with business folks. It will be my first visit to a client.

How do you get good at thinking on your feet? I find I always need time to think and analyse before being able to answer client queries (even those that are considered simple by others). I don't want to rush and get it wrong. I avoid phone calls for this reason which isn't great when you're in the service industry so it's starting to impact my career.

Are there any books or other resources that mid levels/seniors/counsel/partners on here have found helpful for the project management / managing junior attorney aspects of your job?

I am not finding a lot of stuff written for lawyers specifically , but there is a lot directed at “managers” in business generally that I imagine could be applicable.

After trying to make the shift from agency to in house for years, I just got offered a full-time digital marketing manager role at a tech company in the Bay Area! In researching salaries, the range seems huge in the Bay. Any advice on how to determine a reasonable number to bring to the table?

What’s it like at Verizon?

Anybody know how the in house agency for Keurig Dr Pepper is? I believe it’s called liquid sunshine.

BREAKING: Kevin Hart To Appear In Just 17 Super Bowl Spots This Year

After going from big agency to in-house, I have the chance to move to a smaller in-house company to be the only creative and eventually begin to build my own team. Ideal situation or terrifying one?

Those of you that were on Agency and switched over are you producing projects at the same level? Is there operational support? Can you push back on the bad ideas? Are there leaders who ‘get it’?

I’ve noticed on Glassdoor, salaries for my level (Director) are higher than my base but have similar bonus opportunity. At what level of pay gap would you push or make a stink? In hindsight I should have pushed more during the hiring process. At 160k base now, seeing ranges in the 170s to low 180s. These are specific to my current company.

I keep seeing people sharing about side hustles that they turned into a brand or an entire company. I'd love to do this, but I feel like I'd worry about time management and making everything work with two schedules. Has anyone in here successfully scaled their side hustle? Or is anyone trying?

If anyone is working in DTC/Ecommerce, there’s a new bowl...Cheers!

Do any brand teams have a good agency briefing template and process you follow?
-Any tips on getting the best creative solution from your agency?
-Do you have any specific criteria you look for when selecting an agency?
-Do you prefer ‘one stop shop’ or specialists in their fields? If the latter do you do separate breifings?

What companies take their in-house brand and marketing teams most seriously? And by that, I mean C-Suite respecting their leadership and placing high expectations on them.

Needing advice for a communications role at a major bank. Coming from agency side, what will the hiring manager care about most (other than relating your experience to the job duties). Can’t screw this up!

Currently at an agency interviewing for client side. Next round is with brand managers- what type of questions would you ask/ skills would you want from the brand side when working with a media manager?

A good friend of mine graduated from Parsons this past summer, has degrees in Journalism and French, is a talented photographer and designer (which I feel I have a pretty decent eye for after working at a design-driven branding agency for half a decade). And I’m certain she’d make a fabulous junior AD or content strategist. Unfortunately she, like many in this pandemic, is still without a job. Any advice for her and/or shops/hiring managers/non-traditional job hunt tips to steer her towards?

Hi! I’m looking into pivoting my career as more “brand” specialist/ manager. What skill sets would you find crucial to know ? Any advice on tips to learn/ gain experience? Thank you!
