You ever feel like you’re not cut out for all the huff and puff of a big agency ( because of the hierarchy bs and politics) but also feel like you need the experience? Advice?

I think it really all depends on your team. Having worked at two big agencies, one felt small because the CD was a great manager and hired great people which created a family type of vibe. Also he wasn’t just out for himself and really helped support the less experienced creatives. The other agency though was basically like the hunger games and the politics took control.

During the pandemic I dove into my self care (found a therapist, learned I was having seizures and got on meds for that). My journey has been difficult and not pretty to watch. Somewhere along the line I feel like my fiancé saw too much. I no longer feel like romantic parters and instead feel like we have a “caretaker/patient” type relationship. I don’t feel sexy or attractive anymore. I talked to him about this and he feels bad. But I feel guilty for bringing it up. Anyone else had this issue?

I started in my first SDR position in a small SaaS start up few months ago. I am the only SDR and their first ever.
The base salary is ok but I haven’t received any commission structure up to this day.
I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

Thanks

Hi! I’m Head of Insights at an agency in London. I built a team of 4 and oversee and train junior and mid-level insights analysts. I’ve been told that I’ll be promoted to Director next year but I might need to move to NYC because of my husband’s job. I’m a bit worried about finding a job similar to the one that I have now in NYC, especially because I’m Latin and I know how competitive New York can be. Any thoughts and recommendations?

That’s twice as much as none,

Twice the chance that you’re done.

And done means no-fun.

And when there’s no-fun, there’s no sun.

And no-sun means you’re missing out on SUNNY-D two-for-one.
