Is it true Deloitte is not sponsoring H1B visas? I have a friend considering joining as an SC after MBA. However, they are concerned that Deloitte is not sponsoring. Are these fears correct? How does this work from a recruiting perspective? They would be hired as an off-cycle campus hire via PPMD referral, not within the standard pool of campus hires. Thanks!

Do you people regret being a data scientist??
I am asking this as I see SDE making much more salary than data scientist. Also experience and skill set required to become SDE is much less than Data scientist.

Your thoughts please..

I found out a soon to be 2nd year associate got a 10k raise making his salary 110k now, while I, the soon to be 3rd year associate got a 2k raise making my salary 107k. So now the 2nd year male associate is making more money than me. How do I bring this up to the partners?

Over the last few years I’ve allowed myself to gain 40 pounds. I often feel uncomfortable and unattractive in my own body, and I fear that the extra weight puts me at greater risk if I were to catch Covid (though I am vaccinated). Despite all this, I struggle to find the motivation to change. I have lost weight before, but it all came creeping back. I feel very cynical about trying to lose it again. I guess I am just not unhappy enough to try again. Has anyone been in the same boat?

I’m a designer in the planning/landscape architecture dept. of a CE firm. Extremely frustrated that after 4+ years and multiple asks, I’m not getting the in-field construction experience I’ve asked for. I know that my designs could be better if I could see how things are actually built but I get slapped in the face with “I need you in the office designing/drafting” or “there’s no budget to have you go out” and then sends an intern to inspect instead. I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?

Any warm recommendations for data buying companies?

What are some great companies to work for as a woman in engineering?

The hours I’m working right now to meet a deadline are extreme, I’m only getting a few hours of sleep a night. How do you keep yourself alert during that final push?

I love watching my 3-year-old's engineering hacks... he wanted to pet the cat so he built a fort out of pillows and waited, now the cat's purring on his lap and they're both asleep

What's worse than sitting on hold with IT? Your neighbor being on hold with IT. On speaker phone. Full volume. There's a special place for these people...

😦 Whenever I fast forward through an ad on my DVR, I feel a brief but sharp pain in my chest. ⏩

What, exactly, are these Archive global creative "rankings" based on? I see people posting/humbled-and-honored'ing on LinkedIn and feel like posting that I'm the #17 CD/AD/Freelancer as ranked by both Better Homes & Gardens AND Cat Fancy Magazines.

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.

Having the clients love an idea you had to fight to present is a bittersweet win- you feel validated, but also wish your team backed you from the start...anyone else experience this?

Thanks to the robots, there’s just not a lot left to do.

So why do we still have to spend all our waking time playing office?

In your opinion, what advertising/branding/experiential agencies should someone targeting greater San Diego and Los Angeles go after? (Yes, it is very expensive to live in California)

The agency I work at has been struggling for more than 1.5 years. A mass exodus ensued naturally. Do I stay or go too? I'm not that unhappy and things have to get better?

I feel like I am not good at what I do... but don’t see myself doing anything else.

Anyone still being asked to come into the office for pitches?

Junior designer here looking to connect with some Philly-area shops— I’m from the area and have recently been trying to learn more about the local agency scene. Would love it if people could drop some names or even some recruiter info. Thanks!!

Can we really just not with April Fools ads? So cringe inducing, so bandwagon-y, so god damn corny & depressingly expected...🤢

Anyone else feel like your junior creatives don't want to be creative?? Ex: "I'd love to see some new options. Anything you'd like, no restrictions" response "Do we have to? They'll never buy it"😳
