Your clients on July 1st.

I got hired at EY after mid year. My offer letter says I’m not eligible for salary increase until 10/18.

Is that typical?

Does anyone know impact to h1b employees when a company is wholly acquired? As some of you know now, Navigant is being acquired by guidehouse. Does a new petition need to be filled now?

Who has the best parental leave policies? Need advice

Tips on remote interviewing? Lateraling and this is my first one coming up. Kinda nervous since I haven’t done an interview in years.

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

Is it easier to lateral to another HF/PE firm than to get an initial offer?

Finally received an offer that is not my dream firm, after a year of recruiting, and trying to decide if I should hold out for the perfect offer, or take it and try to move if it winds up not being what I want?

Thanks friends

Currently SM at Bain (4 years post MBA) and was approached for a senior associate role in portfolio ops at a large PE fund. Been told 2.5 years to VP and another 2.5 years to director. Feels like the role is a bit junior but offers a 50% pay jump.

Thoughts on seniority? Also, any interview resources for PE portfolio roles?

Compensation expectations for VP level at 100M VC fund? 8 YOE consulting plus top 5 MBA

I’m interviewing at Google’s Treasury team. The role would be as a rates analyst managing their portfolio - primarily cash and short duration fixed income products (100bn aum). TC: ~150k, not sure of breakdown.

I currently work as a quant/middle office at a very well reputed mutual fund, but this is not a market facing role. TC: 125k, but they have a very generous profit sharing plan that contributes 25% of my pay to retirement accts if I stay for 6 years, so ~160k?

Any thoughts?

Do referrals help much at places like Ares, Bain Cap, KKR, Apollo, etc?

How is WFH going for you all? Resisting the urge to use while on the clock?

Does your art partner contribute to visual descriptions when you’re working on scripts?

Anyone else feel like avoiding all these spots before the super bowl is an extreme sport? Maybe it’s just me, but I want to see them at game time... reading ahead takes all the fun out of it for me.

I don’t feel sorry for FAANG / Big tech workers They ll be ok right ? Haha

Who here is willing to turn on networking for the next 2 hours?? People want to see their options in this bowl! You can then quietly go back into the shadows.

Dad got laid off. Drinking got worse. Attempted assault on sis and mom. Had to put up in hotel. No clue on next steps (legal and personal). Project is complete shit show and SM is not getting it. Idk man...

hey, I joined Deloitte in June 2020 as an GPS SA analyst, I just staffed on internal project only providing me adjusted utilization. Now my standard util is 40 and my adjusted is 105... and this project last in another month... by then my standard util might be 20.. will my promotion be affected by this? My target promotion year on TOD is 2022. My manager said we might sell to client and extend this project in September but nothing guaranteed.

I guess it’s common now to not bring a laptop to show your work at an interview? We’ve had 10 art director candidates come through and maybe 7 of them did not come with any way of showing their work.

Will the agencies that pack their talent together like sardines in “open concept” floor plans ever reopen their offices?

Shoutout to account peeps ready to explain why, actually, it isn't that much work and, actually, EOD tomorrow is plenty of time.

I'm extremely happy working at Havas, so it pains to me say what the leadership has done is both embarrassing and demoralizing. (cont.)…

Has anyone been able to negotiate anything extra or terms when being laid off?

Most won't give a shit but what work do you think will win this year at Cannes?

I was furloughed yet it doesn’t start until Friday. Per the VPs, this week we have to “transfer our knowledge” to our bosses. Bosses who haven’t been on these projects. Any advice?

I just got into reading books, any suggestions to start with? Which could help to increase media/marketing knowledge.

Sarah Thompson’s name is not on the list 🤔. Thoughts?

Which agencies are going through layoffs

Drinking Soylent for multiple meals a day so I don't have to waste time getting/making/eating food. Let's see how this goes...

Just found out there’s an ECD in a big NYC agency who claims to have won awards, but the name doesn’t pop up in any of the archives.

How do they get away with it?

Getting really frustrated with a boss that is completely bipolar in our interactions. Management does not seem willing to tell them to stop being psycho. Beginning to think the only way out is out

Been asked to present my current client’s plan and PCA in second interview for a role. Am I being over cautious by not feeling comfortable with this?

Dear KBS, today we received 17 all agency emails. Yesterday it was 20. Surely upper management has a better way to use their time. Make it stop. Love, KBS

Would you work for Facebook considering they’re allowing political ads that spread disinformation and could influence our next election?
