Would love a few novel suggestions. I prefer books that make me laugh and my attention span usually craps out around 600 pages.

If you're a simpsons fan check out the Frank Burly Detective series by John Swartzwelder. Nonstop absurd comedy and always short and sweet.

TC Boyle short stories. They’re not like falling over funny. But they have a dark humor in the situational sense and the internal dialogue of characters that I find super entertaining. Kinda like a Cohen brothers movie.

Seth Rogan’s Yearbook is funny. Dolly Alderton’s Good Material, almost anything David Sedaris (older stuff is funnier IMO), Colin Jost’s autobiography is super funny too.

If it needs to be fiction I thought Nathan Hill’s The Nix and Wellness were funny. Although Wellness hit a little close to home with relationship stuff.

East of Eden. It’s hilarious.

Hey all! I currently have 2 YOE at Deloitte and have an S& offer for A2. I’m pushing back for A3 level instead. Anyone had any luck negotiating this in the past? Do Experience hires typically come in at A2 instead of A3? Also, was given a sign on of $10k. How does this compare? Thanks in advance! 😊

My friend just recently got promoted to a sr. ad and he knows he’s going to eat a pay bump but wants to know what the norm is. I’ve never moved so my viewpoint isn’t normal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hate it when I hear an AD say they "can't draw." No one is expecting a work of art, just a shitty sketch that illustrates the idea.
