Who’s a dream commercial director you’d love to work with on a spot?

I'm on a beach in Florida and a guy walks up to me and is like "you're from Texas, huh?" And I'm like "yeah, how'd you know"? And then I realize how he knew...

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

LinkedIn is a garbage app where I can’t even post my opinion or experience because it will go against the mainstream ideologies. If I even “like” a post then I worry that my peers and managers see what I like and suddenly I need inclusivity training. What a load of shit! You can’t be who you truly are on that app. Which is why I like fishbowl so much, the anonymity is a game changer. If LinkedIn was a anonymous, we’d see a lot more support for Kanye and a lot less LGBQT material. Bet!

Planning a 2 week trip for September 2022. Thinking of doing an African safari. Any recommendations (that aren’t outrageous $$)/ know how that time of year is? 🐯🐅🦁🐘

Watching 60 Minutes about how badly US financially affected from CV including unemployment. We’re blessed to still be employed. Anyone have uncertainty still, even when firm communicates “layoffs last resort”?

hearing there was massive layoffs at concentric today. in the dozens. can someone confirm or refute?

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.

Planning to do a PRM or FRM qual. How useful is it to move from Big 4 Risk and reg consulting to industry? Finding it hard to get anything other than non-PM roles

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

Any advice welcome!

Hello All

I am looking forward for help in obtaining the releiving letter from HSBC. Wrote multiple mails to exit support help desk but no response. Not sure if the email address given to me is still valid. Appreciate if anyone could help with a contact number or email please.

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

I worked with a Junior AD that skipped college and went straight to portfolio school. I was mad resentful of him at first, mostly because I wish I would have thought of that and saved $100K.

Do you guys list things you did on your resume, or just titles & agencies? Been at this for 8 years and feel like each job, while different, had me do the same stuff we all know. Feels redundant?

Maybe it's time to revenge-post big $ job listings on LinkedIn for Recruiters and Hiring Managers, auto-schedule phone interviews for respondents, GHOST them, and then re-post the jobs 4 months later.

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.

Some days the ghosting and radio silence comes off as blacklisting and soul crushing. How hard of an ask is it to copy and paste "thank you for your interest, we decided to go with another candidate"

What are the advantages/disadvantages to being partnered with someone more senior? I’m mid-level, busting my ass to go senior. My partner is senior, busting their ass to get to ACD. (Cont’d)

How can I help our UX/UI people and developers become more familiar with conceptual advertising? One Show books? Hey Whipple, Squeeze This?

When you know where you want to work, who do you reach out to first — the hr/talent/recruiter or directly to the CD or ECD depending on level? Or both?

Did Peloton really un-ironically put “Man’s Not Hot” in a commercial in the year 2022?

What would you say the main differences between senior and ACD are? I’m currently managing a team under me and working directly with ECD, meeting clients, etc.

Hi Creatives! What tool does your Resources Management team use? Also, what software are you using for creative workflow? Also include if you like it or if you have any favorites. Thanks in advance.

What advice do you have for someone who wants to make a quick and seamless transition from operations to creative?

What’s DDB like these days?

Things are apparently going to get better after a client will be leaving, I’ll get to work on different brands but I am feeling pretty burnt out from the agency I’m at. Will new clients help? Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.

Hi I’m looking for a CW to join the Young Lions this year, does anyone would be interested? 🤙🏻 📩

Living outside of NYC and remote interviewing for a job, landing an offer, then relocating to NYC -> anyone ever done this?

Anyone want to work for us in our chicago office and make me some referral money?

We’re looking for ACD’s, seniors, and a mid-level writer. Send me a DM with your book(s) and i’ll refer you.

I’m transitioning into a role where I’ll be more hands on in production. Previously, the producers handled the budget, contracts etc. I haven’t done this in a long while so I hope I could get some answers here to be more prepared

This is a much smaller company so I imagine I’ll have to take on some of that eventually.

What are the standard day rates today for a stylist, photographer, Director, DP, set designer, prop stylist? Are there resources out there I can just look up?

Which one would you pick?

Big name shop. Shitty account, but you get opportunities beyond that.

Shop with bad reputation that lacks PR and hardly enters awards but has a lot of book-worthy projects.
