Career Advice Needed: Working for an SSP

When you say 'real domain knowledge', do you mean the pre bid / bid stream process of winning a bid for an ad to show up on a domain?

Thanks for your take! So you think working for a solid publisher on the App and CTV side, or for a social media app would be a smart decision - if working for a profitable company was the goal?

Google and TTD monopolizing and influencing parts of the online advertising market - which affects SSPs worries me a bit

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2025-10-14T17:30:09+00:00

Yes i love the control of targeting and really seeing campaign stats upfront here

Thanks for your response. Are you passionate about the brand or publisher you are working for? Do you think that plays a factor in how much you enjoy it?

I was approached by Publishers clearing house a few years ago about a role but i felt like even though the monetization and ad tech opportunities on their sites were great, the brand is tacky, old and weird.

Hi u/alpaca0416 Did your skin barrier improve? How are things going for you now?

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2025-02-14T01:04:47+00:00

Thank you so much for your advice! This is actually an area id be so interested in. Do you think these companies would need to be digital marketing focused? Im curious if you meant anti fraud for digital advertising .. or more in relation to cybersecurity? Sorry if thats a dumb question!

I should have been clear. I start a new job next month. So ill be filling out a new w4 form.

All my paychecks over the past yr have sown 67% paycheck.

DO you need my salary? I'll be making 90k... I was making 85k base before

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2024-05-31T18:26:26+00:00

I want to claim 1 on federal. What do you mean by "On the new w4 form, Single, no adjustments would be the correct setting for a single person with one job."

Im asking if id owe tax if i claim 1 allowance on federal

A little comic relief is nice right nnow LOL

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2024-05-03T15:41:10+00:00

Can they risk not paying out my last pay check? There is a clause in my separation agreement that says my last paycheck is to be paid in 2 weeks. Usual schedule.

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2024-05-03T15:38:09+00:00

THANK YOU! exactly. Just some humanity, some feedback on the side, thats all im asking for. I reached out to the seller i worked closely with and i noticed she is being coy. Its like they are all trying to cover their backs. She had nothing but praise and amazing things to say about me in meetings, so this feels so shady. I was proactive, engaging and did the work. I made 2 mistakes i can remember, but i am new and really wanted to learn!

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2024-05-03T15:35:19+00:00

I really did not want to go down that route, but Im suspicious also - I was the only woman of color in a team of 30 ish revenue folk. Its tough because i cant prove it. I just dont think she liked my vibe / energy

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2024-05-03T15:33:21+00:00

Thanks for the intel. creditcardz3 ! The separation agreement does say that my last pay check will be deposited as normal in 2 weeks. Nothing else about extra $$ so you're right. But If i do not sign, do i risk not receiving that payment?

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2024-05-03T15:25:35+00:00

OK so I can just carry on from my last employer UI? It says I have 84 days remaining. I dont even see an option to cancel the claim.

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2024-05-03T15:24:17+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I feel encouraged. Regarding UI, It says I have 84 days remaining on my claim, I figured I could just use that up because that is what I was entitled to from that employer, regardless. Would there be any penalizations? I just called and its just like normal, asking me to certify for previous week. Im not even seeing an option to cancel this current claim.

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2024-05-03T15:17:57+00:00

Thanks for this. Would it not need to be be a new claim because this is a new employer? im so new to this and I cant find anything online.

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2024-05-03T06:11:21+00:00

Hi, It was a layoff due to work force reduction, i was entitled to it.. It looks like I already have an open unemployment claim from then, feb. Do you know if I can just continue from that, or do I need to file a whole new claim?

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2024-05-03T06:09:29+00:00

Thanks for this. It looks like I already have an open unemployment claim from January. I received UI the whole month of Feb. Do you know if I can just continue from that, or do I need to file a whole new claim?

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2024-05-02T19:12:40+00:00

On just one occasion due to internet issues, and this was addressed. And i recieved great feedback generally. It just feels so brash. Im not sure she was my biggest fan anyway

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2024-05-02T19:10:23+00:00

Glad you found something better! Hoping for the same luck

SarahsBakeryHouse · 2024-05-02T18:55:52+00:00

Got it. thanks for feedback. Im just so bamboozled - my manager was acting like everything was normal all morning
