What can I do with my 3 year experience at big 4, if I exit now? My aim was to always hit 6 figures after 5 years of work but I can’t stand the big 4 workload and stress levels that much longer. Always willing to work hard and long hours. But that is spilling over into Saturday and Sunday’s. My mind does not rest. Persevere or start looking elsewhere?

I am currently in the OPT grace period (about 15 days left) and was notified that I was selected in the second h1b lottery. I have no idea how this works. I don’t think my company can file by the end of the grace period. Does that mean I have to leave the country and return October 1? What other info do I need to know?

Hello new to the Fishbowl, currently seeking new employment in the Cash Application Accounting, system implementation, order to cash Management or non management roles. Also, open to new opportunities in other areas. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated ☺️

Do IPG and Omnicom still have the in-office vaccine mandates that they instituted last year, or have they repealed them?

I just got into reading books, any suggestions to start with? Which could help to increase media/marketing knowledge.

Thoughts on the new Vegas slogan “What happens here, only happens here”?Apparently people hate it. I think it’s a good spin on the classic “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”

I’m creating an ad hoc, pro bono guerrilla stunt for a video game launch coming out end of this month. If you’re an AD that wants to get some cool execution work in you book and have decent photoshop skills let me know. I’m doing this campaign on my own for the game and am gonna package it as a portfolio piece if it goes viral, which you can include in your book of course as well! The publisher might pay us if it gets results but no guarantee

Best cities and agencies for brand strategists? Open to US or international.

Crushing real hard on my manager 😭😭😭

So, I work in an agency, but recently someone reached out to me for freelance writing work. I guess it'll be long form ad copy, as they're asking me for a rate per word...
I have no idea what's standard here

Manager texted me at ~10pm asking for a non-critical update. I chose not to respond (until morning) because I don't want to allow a bad habit to form. Thoughts?

What’s it like to move to London from the states?

If I applied to a company and sent a message to the recruiter on LinkedIn, but they haven’t accepted my connection request or responded to my message, should I follow up with an email a week later? Trying to find the line between enthusiastic and being a weirdo.

I think another offer might be coming soon but I really want a shot at this job.

For those who have lived both in NYC and elsewhere, how is working in the industry in NYC (hours, competition, opportunity, etc)?

Can someone from Leo Burnett explain why your LinkedIn titles say “Human Being”? It adds an extra step since I have no idea what industry the person inviting me to connect is in or what their title is

Why do some art directors only really start looking at stuff at the 11th hour? Thus forcing people to stay late on the Friday of a 3 day weekend.

Conflicted on whether to stock up due to coronavirus or not. Part of me thinks it’s smart in case of a run on the stores or quarantine, but I’ve checked in with friends who live in Italy (cont)

Is New York even worth it for advertising? I just looked for apartments and almost spit out my water on the prices for such bad quality.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

What’s everyone’s agency doing for employee appreciation day?

No one—of any age, on any occasion—ever—says “It’s easy as 1 2 3!” And yet every now and then, even now, you see it as a line (junk mail mostly). Did anyone EVER say it, outside of advertising?
