Yo, can we all just chill? About you know, everything?

Based on your current salary and expenses, how much are you saving monthly? Seniors on here (VPs above), what's a good amount to target based on your experience?

Has there been any layoffs in paypal India. Does anyone have an idea about this?
Sae a few news articles online and it's worrying me.

What do your students seem to struggle with the most: phonics/decoding skills, reading comprehension, fluency/stamina, or background knowledge? I know they all go hand in hand, but what's most lacking

Hello! I’ve previously only dated white guys. While in quarantine I’ve gone on dil mil and made an effort with brown guys on apps. Surprised to find that many live at home or visit home often in mid 20s, are not financially independent, cannot cook for themselves etc. Is this typical? Or maybe it’s just the area I live in. Sorry if this came off as offensive, it just seems to be a pattern I noticed

Husband and I usually get hello fresh for meals, but we forgot to unskip this week, and now have no meals prepped or planned for the week. When this happens we usually order takeout every night and that’s unhealthy and expensive. Any ideas for meal prepping? Or quick healthy meals/grocery list?

How much time is acceptable to bill to admin per day?

Just did sit ups. Walked into the bathroom to check, still nothing 😐

Here is my dilemma: I was passed up for manager promo last year and rightfully so a lot of my feedback was definitely correlated to me not properly handing my symptoms causing a good bit of inconsistencies in my performance especially if I lacked interest. This year I’ve crushed it and switched up projects off of ones that I’ve long been on. The few people who “advocate” for me seem to be stuck on things that seem either 1) so unsubstantiated and show that they are too far detached from the …

Being a male and Asian really sucks.

It’s been a day and I haven’t heard back from my phone case interview. Is this bad news?

Does anyone partner with any 401(k) robo-advisors like Guideline, Vestwell, Human Interest, Ubiquity, etc.? How are they compared to more established 401(k) providers? Pros/cons to any or all?

At what point do I start using 2 pages?
I have 8YOE and a MS. An internal recruiter and a headhunter said I should have 2pg. Should I list older projects? Listing ~15 projects, I have 1/6 pg left

I’m pretty passive when I’m disrespected by creative but I think it sets a bad example for my team. If any of my reports were spoken to the way I was I’d raise hell...how set example?

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!

Recruiting for IQVIA consulting currently, any comments on the company?

Huron 🍣, what’s your world like right now? Just got a recruiting email, and know Huron’s reputation but little else. How do you like the firm, how are you measured, and do you want to stick around?

Does anyone know how litigation finance works on the plaintiff side? If someone wanted to bring a lawsuit against their former employer would a general contingency arrangement with a plaintiff’s firm make sense? Or would one need to find funding and then contact a plaintiff’s firm to actually handle the case? I’m a transactional lawyer, so this is out of my wheelhouse.

If you get an offer a few days before you have a final interview (or while you're waiting to hear back), is it okay to ask for some time? Or do they expect you to answer right there?

i'm in the final round for 2 different media positions in 2 completely different places (NYC and NC) and things are moving really quickly for both. the NYC job is my dream one but they're both offering $40k so i'm conflicted. any advice would be helpful lol

Stop with the unnecessary meetings. PLEASE.

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❤️

Next time I have a meeting my Senior Manager, I may just snap and tell him that instead of constant nitpicking and giving hurtful, blunt feedback, how about acknowledging sometimes for a change?

How do some of y’all manage to go 2+ years without a raise? Like are you just really good at budgeting?

Just realized it's not Friday ☹️

New place I’m at is complete anarchy. Only here for a month. One of the account managers is working 14 hour days and is a bout to crack ... so I mention it to my “manager” or na

Ted Royer helping JL win VW. Rumor or true?

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?

I want to quit and give myself a couple months to find a new job and enjoy my life. Someone told me I need to approach my reason for leaving sensitively as I don't want to ruin my connections and references. Any tips?
How do I put in my notice with no new job offer without coming out and saying "this place no longer fulfills me and I want to be able to breath for a couple months when I search for something new" ?

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment. However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks

With the way this week has been going, Friday 13th with a harvest moon seems downright dangerous 🌚 halp

Omar from the wire in that W + K spot for the Atlantic. Well done 👏🏽

Facebook shutting down Oculus Story Studio... VR dead?

Interviewing now, chances of being hired before the new year?

Looking for senior designers that knows shopper marketing. Please DM with books!

I have my exit interview tomorrow. Any tips? Have any of you written down what you wanted to say? I’m leaving advertising and moving so I’ll probably never see these people again.

People ask me all the time why I have to work evenings and weekends but I don’t have a real explanation aside from “it’s just how ad agencies are 🤷🏻‍♀️” What makes a better agency?

Practical advice on how to deal with a mansplaining colleague?? 🙄
