Would you join an IPG agency right now if you were casually in market?

Anyone up for chat😔😔 Feeling low...

For those of you invested primary in index funds, do you have a combination you'd recommend? I'm 31yrs and currently have about $400k invested in a few stocks, mutual funds and ETFs. I think I want to start shifting everything towards ETFs to keep things simple and just let it build value. Thoughts?

Has anyone ever taken a break from advertising? What job did you do (in-house, something completely different)? Did you find it difficult to come back?

I’m really burned out and need a break.

Anyone from a major holding company (wpp, omd…etc) who made the move to consulting care to answer some questions I have ? TIA!

Does Deloitte India give goodies and joining kit ? Though people are posting with pics in linkedin. I have joined Deloitte. But I got only laptop and bag. 🥱🥱

How much do strategy directors make these days?

If I have got an offer letter from Infosys and I accepted the offer, then I can be sure right that they will give joining for sure on the said date?

So I chose an offer for Deloitte India over Infosys as a Node.js developer. Joining next week. But most of the time when people praise Deloitte they mean USI so I have been of two minds and wondering if I made the right decision.
Also is travel needed for Consultant designation?
In the managerial round the guy told me only need to go to office to pickup the laptop and after that it's wfh.

If you got fired today would you have a Bach up plan? What would it be?

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❤️

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Going in house is the move, right?

Got an offer, made a counter, they came back and said they’re keeping their offer where it is.

Jobs ok. Could use the benefits. Offer was below market.

Thoughts?

Hey guys! Working on an interesting personal project and would like to know who you guys would suggest as having the freshest haircut in the ad game! Their names, portfolio and agency would be great.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

The agency I work at has been struggling for more than 1.5 years. A mass exodus ensued naturally. Do I stay or go too? I'm not that unhappy and things have to get better?

Bookish fish! What’s the best book on leadership you’ve read? Particularly creative leadership.

Looking at full-time and application asks for expected salary and then expected total compensation as a number. How should I figure out the second? Health insurance, bonuses, life insurance, equity, PTO? I studied art, not math.

Wet mouth noises...😖😖😖🗯🔥

What agency is doing the new Twizzler ads?

Crushing real hard on my manager 😭😭😭

Something I've been curious about: why are we so cautious about asking or talking about our salaries with each other? I've never found it offensive but people think it's weird to ask. Opinions?
