Who else is shaving their head bald at this time to minimize coronavirus spread? Won’t be client facing for at least a few months, enough time to grow it back!

Hey Fishes,

I joined Deloitte USI this week. I am yet to be allocated a project. Just wondering if we can apply for the Smartphone program being at bench, or do we need to be tagged under a project to avail this?

Need advice fam. Have a final round interview scheduled this week for a great exit opportunity. Been down with Covid and recovering. Not sure if I’ll be in top shape by the date. Should I push out the interview by a week or take the risk and keep it on the calendar? Part of me wants to get it done with as I am eager to moved forward in the process.

As long as you don’t sign an NDA with your client is it fine to tell friends who your client is?

When do people think states will fully/substantially reopen? May 1, June 1, July 1? Later? Also, what’s your take on how quickly things will bounce back after Covid-19?

Anyone else really struggling for no apparent reason?
My life is great on paper. Yet I feel absolutely miserable, overwhelmed and stressed. Can't cope without drinking and smoking weed every single night.
Is this just the covid-19 blues? Is everyone else feeling the same way?

When coronavirus is over and no longer a pandemic, I really can’t wait to go out dancing again 😭 with good tunes & friends. This is coming from an introvert that would decline invites to go out. There truly isn’t night life quite like NYC.

Asking people who take the pandemic seriously, anti-vaxxers and “Covid is like the flu” folks please scroll on. I’m concerned about returning my 3 yo to daycare on Monday, last week we got three notifications of people being out because of Covid. We’re all vaccinated and boosted but he’s not. And I’ve read pediatric hospitalizations are higher than ever before. We may be able to keep him home another week but then what? We both have to work.

I’m having a sit down with my creative directors next week, they have some concerns. I’ve been doing well with my radio and tv assignments but not as well with my collateral and email assignments. I’m having trouble adopting the already established voice of the latter but the tv and radio work I get to create my own voice for each project. Any advice on how to plead my case of having some degree of difficulty and not intentional doing bad work?

Looking for career advice - I enjoy DDs (fast pace, short studies with new people and content, less client interaction, less travel, expert interviews) but don’t enjoy the modeling / financials enough to go into PE. Any advice on what career paths to explore?
