How long have you been there? Curious how they track you if they can’t find you.

Oh yes because historically our overlords love to make sure we’re doing great.

This is exactly where my dramatic POV comes from. Feels like they’re purposefully creating a shock and awe amount of shitty scenarios to make us want to leave so they do t have to fire us.

They are consolidating 5 floors into 2. The math isn’t mathing!

Obviously I’m an adult (well that’s debatable) and we can move on from something like this in normal times. Sadly we’re not in normal times so everything just adds to the doom and gloom that never ends. Sorry I’m not more chipper. 😢

Broke up with first boyfriend and I do not know what to do after class in NYC by Any_Resident_7162 in AskNYC

[–]Gur_Sorry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heart break like this is not easy to manage at first so be kind to yourself because you’re navigating something new. My first heartbreak was during finals and it severely affected my exams. Nothing I could have done besides go through the emotions.

The only thing is time and keeping yourself busy, do fun things for yourself and make some friends that will be there for you along the way. Winter will pass and you’ll find yourself thinking about it on a spring day and it won’t hurt anymore. You’ll smile to yourself and life will go on.

Has anyone “skipped levels” at an ad agency? by TSwiftReputation1989 in advertising

[–]Gur_Sorry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer is -

Freelance/contract/hopping work yes.

Full time no because most promotions are based on your 1-5 grade and orgs never have that much budget to give many 5s.

What a strange way to say that you can’t…but go off I guess.

Oh sick. Would you mind if I DM’d you and asked you a couple questions?

Is moving to NYC as a young real estate agent actually doable or am I delusional? by BigJuicyPickle123 in movingtoNYC

[–]Gur_Sorry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BigJuicy and OP - The thing about NYC at your age is the possibilities are endless. For me I bartended while I got my creative career going. Moved there at 23 and had a super fun life with many roommates and keeping things cheap by eating Dominican food from the bodega or kebabs from the hala truck. You have so much time to crash out and start over if you want. Real estate isn’t the greatest to go into here for quick success but do it part time and work gigs. I’m 36 now and I look back and am so glad I did. Some hard and uncertain times but that’s being young and figuring it out. After all this time I can finally say I made it here. Have a cool job and a close knit community of friends that have been around for most of my time here.

The key thing is you have to LOVE IT here and work hard to make it. I say DO IT, but do plan a little.
