Y’all are great. Posting this in a few bowls but a few questions all in a bunch. Answer one or answer all. Much appreciated. I’m a strat team lead. Currently LA

-Insight into bohan in Nashville?
-Insight into BBDO Minneapolis?
-I just grew an experimental beard three weeks ago but have been interviewing a bunch. Should I shave so they can get the “real me” first impression? Beard makes me look a little older for better or worse.
-Might go client side for the first time to run a brand. Thoughts?

Well at least you’re shaving age, which is unusual in advertising.

Why do you want to leave LA?

Re: shaving - depends on your age/ how old you look generally but knowing ageism is a big issue in the industry I’d lean towards real you.

Client side and running a brand is a lot of fun if the budget and motivation are there. Highly recommend it if you feel the draw. Be careful; you may never want to come back from it!

I joined a new consulting firm and have been here for 6 months. Recently, a SaaS client (1k employees) that hired my old consulting firm reached out to me about a job opening - Lead BA working primarily to implement their benefit admin system for insurance companies. My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.

Hi All,
How's the job security at Accenture as such? I know that last year, they sacked people ruthlessly and now are facing a resource crunch. Also that they mandatorily place poor performers in PIP.

But how is it in general? Should I perform as per expectation, can I be relaxed about the job security aspect or do you always need to be on your toes?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
