Why is the ICA growth advisory made up of the literally the least successful/smallest agencies and one AI startup? Who thought these people were qualified?

You forgot to mention questionable business practices too.

Oooh like what? Do tell.

This industry is in free fall.

It’s about time the CEO of …King Ursa… took charge on our behalf.

Just say thank you.

Fully intended irony.

Nothing about lack of success.

- unqualified
- toxic
- problematic
(not just based on limited reputation or experienced hearsay, but proven in court cases)

Maybe you should ask why the leadership of other agencies aren’t supporting the industry?

Rethink, for example, is not even part of the ICA.

smart

Well being part of the ICA required becoming actra signatory, which avoiding was a big competitive advantage for a while and the reason a lot of Indies never joined. But yeah, if the ICA can't provide value to agencies then what's in it for them besides a LinkedIn post with your face.

I got a job offer as a Tax Associate at PwC. I want to negotiate the salary but the HR said he cant just increase my salary since that would be unfair to other associates. The only thing he can do is to ask to compensation team and if the team approve, every in-coming associates would get a salary increase. Is that true?

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management. They both have the same requirements, generally speaking, including a field immersion course that serves as a capstone in the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Hey guys, I’m a freelance broadcast producer and I’ve spent most of my career working for larger agencies. I’m doing something for a smaller agency and they want the production company to hide costs in their bid and then have production bill the client the inflated amount directly and pay the hidden costs to the agency. The agency is calling it a “consultation fee” but client just thinks production costs more. Is that common and I just haven’t experienced it before? Or is this a big red flag?
