Would you leave an agency where you potentially have an award winning idea in the making? This agency burned me to death, but I keep staying because there’s always some proactive cool project on the horizon that I sold in, but then it’s dead in couple months anyway. Due to client cuts etc etc etc. The FOMO is real tho.

You may not know what you want for Christmas this year, but your home sure does! Here is a Holiday wishlist we wrote up that will be a treat for your home this year:

🎄New windows

🎄Solar roof

Your house has been good this year, splurge a little and give it some love back!

I’m at 7.5 years of experience and got an offer letter saying 3 weeks of vacation. I’m currently at 5 weeks vacation - are companies typically flexible with this?

Do you drink at holiday parties? This is the first company I've worked for that does a real holiday party and I'm kind of anxious about letting my guard down around my co-workers like that...

For rent paid below 1 lakh there is no need to submit landlord's PAN. I have calculated based on my HRA and if I show rent paid as around 96k my tax refund will be around 13k.

However there is no rent agreement or rent receipts.

Will it be a problem later on if I show this in my ITR?

Ex consultant, currently in industry. BCG HR contacted me for a role, process was a lil messy and unprofessional. Still waiting for the “exploratory chat” she was supposed to set up with the MDP since 2 weeks ago. Texted on whatsapp but no response. Normal?

The industry is crumbling under our feet and I still can’t decide if I want to go in-house or not. I’m afraid it won’t be as exciting and I won’t travel as much. But also, I need a job. So 🤦‍♂️

I feel like I have to work but I don’t want to😩 happy Labor Day y’all

Is the "we're just trying to gain the clients trust so they'll allow us to make good work spiel," a crock of crap?

2 weeks unassigned in may. Can I use PTO for those 2 weeks even if I haven’t accrued it yet? 1st year, and what are the cons of two weeks off? Like utilization. Etc

Looking for in-house work, feeling depressed about the options in Chicago. Anyone have any leads or advice?

For anyone in the same boat as me hat had a credit for a part of the CPA expire due to the long wait. I now only have one part left to complete but one part simultaneously expired. They will grant an

Interview tomorrow for a tax associate opening at RSM. Been working in a mid-size city (different firm) that is about 70 minutes from this new home office in a larger metro. How flexible is WFH or dual model going forward post Covid? Am interested in this position and going to tax, but not be able to relocate for family reasons. Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid

I give the clients gold, but they decide instead, they want me to paint it with sh*t.

Any opening for Sr. iOS Developer?

How much hike percent can we expect during promotion from analyst to consultant.

Non-PA ? - Are nest thermostats worth the $$? Why or why not?

Any potential flags/benefits for dual agency? My agent and the seller's agent work for the same company.

Hello! Need hearts to unlock my DMs! Thank you so much 💛🙏🏼

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?

Do agencies outside of pharma have Art Supervisor roles? Or does it go Sr AD > ACD. I just got promoted to Art Sup & honestly don’t know if so should update my Linkedin since i’m working...

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.

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.

Thoughts on Mother NY?

FCB Health Chicago - What’s it like?

Anyone have an opinion on Tombras? Are they more than just Moon Pie?

How suspicious is it that the client that just gave the pitch of VW in the US to Johannes Leonardo used to be one of the executives from Johannes Leonardo?

A branding question. If FIFA stopped calling it the Women’s World Cup, would more of the world start treating it with as much reverence as the men’s World Cup, which is just called The FIFA World Cup?

Looking to move to New York - does anyone know which agencies are hiring these days?

Is it “safe” to fly domestic with Pax Era (battery and cart)?

What do you think a GCD needs to know/have done in their career to be a good GCD?

Did you start a brand (see: side hustle) so you could make without having to bend to a client’s opinion? I want to make something simple/sustainable (something I’ll stick with). What should I make?

I put in my two weeks! But now it's weird here haha. Agencies should ask you to leave and pay you out. This is silly.

Has anyone burned some bridges yet? Just curious 😏
