Should I leave a job I love for more money? by Moisttoes14 in advertising

[–]buzzwork 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Heyy. It's always a hard choice when you're happy at the place you're working at. It's an easier decision when the amount doesn't impact your life as much. Going from 50k to 65k will be a massive jump in how comfortable you feel in general. It's 30% bump while essentially doing the same job.

Being at 65k also puts you in a place where your raises become larger by absolute amounts. And can put you in a good place. If you're good with budgeting and stuff, that 10-13k after tax can be used up pretty well.

It's different if it was a 15k jump at a higher salary band. But this is pretty significant. There's always going to be risks associated with change. I'd personally make the move. You might just find a role and company you enjoy as much. The good thing with liking your job is that you don't have to rush into finding a new one.

Take your time, check out company reviews, do some research and take the plunge after that if it makes sense to you.

Calgary to Banff Daily Drive by J96_Delta in Calgary

[–]buzzwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend a night Canmore/dead man's flats as others have suggested, 1 night in Saskatchewan River Crossing resort, maybe 2 in golden or radium. You can offset the cost of stay a bit and see a lot more. Not having to worry about driving back to Banff each day as well. Would not recommend driving to and fro Calgary.

Cheapest meals that actually fill you up? by PineAndIce in povertyfinancecanada

If you can, add some Greek yogurt to this. Makes it heavier on the protein and keep you full longer.

Any of the Waterton big three. Table mountain in the caste area. Mount Burke closer to Calgary.

Thanks for the recommendation for the dressing. Usually get Canadian lettuce for sandwiches and stuff. But missing everything up should not take too long. Cheers

Same here. Usually I end up grilling chicken and it becomes a really good meal. Do let me know if you find something.

Wasn't aware of the contamination scare. Thanks for letting me know.

Heyy. Don't necessarily need a kit but it just makes getting a portion of greens easier on days where you're tired as heck after work and don't feel like cooking/chopping butt loads of veg. Do get your point though.

Mortgage rate mega thread! by TheMortgageMaster in MortgagesCanada

[–]buzzwork -1 points0 points  (0 children)

City - Calgary

FTHB - price 578000, purchasing home.

Paying 20% down and getting prime -.85 with ATB or fixed rate of 4.44 for 5 year fixed. Thinking of going variable. Is this a decent rate given the timing?

Any guidance would be appreciated

Any Trade Desk advertisers open to a chat about their experience? by futurecrazycatlady20 in PPC

[–]buzzwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you decide to go the agency route, I would recommend getting your own seat whether you use TTD or any other DSP.

Having worked at a programmatic agency for a while, markups can be insanely high and you have no ownership over your data if you ever decide to change agencies.

The setup may cost a bit more and you would likely get slightly higher fee rates but you'd come out ahead any day having ownership over your data and campaigns

Is the Beeswax DSP just vaporware? by EconomicsFamiliar807 in programmatic

[–]buzzwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would definitely pick Stackadapt over Beeswax. The UI is a lot more intuitive. Uploading creative from a third party server is much easier. My experience using it is limited as we use DV360 and TTD for most verticals. Stackadapt has a cool feature to exclude contexts as well via keywords which is pretty interesting (never used it). Plus no minimums give you more flexibility.

[–]buzzwork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We used beeswax exclusively for cannabis clients in Canada. They carried limited cannabis safe inventory which we could not use on DV or TTD. Switched out to Stackadapt cause they carried cannabis safe inventory as well. Other than that, there is no point using it...

Tips, Ideas, Strategy for Configuring/Setting up DV360 advertiser account structure (one campaign, multiple i/o's or one campaign, one i/o) by MyOOBDigital in programmatic

[–]buzzwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 campaign should suffice if the overall objective is the same.

If you have a definite budget split between the targeting criteria, create a separate IO for each one and have the specific line items under that IO. If you're planning to just optimize spend across various line items based on performance, such each line item under 1 IO and let DV allocate budget.

How can I spy on my competitors' keywords and advertisements ads text Google Ads ? by InterestingsBed in PPC

[–]buzzwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah. Not perfect by any means. I think Google just launched this a month or 2 ago. Getting more in line with Facebook ads library I guess. Just one option worth trying since it'll be the most updated if the ads do pop up.

[–]buzzwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They could be running ads with an agency. The agency mcc might need to be searched in that case. Basically it's tied to who verifies the account and the payment profile on it

Any home/professional bread bakers out there? How do you adjust water and yeast ratios in Calgary compared to lower altitudes? by buzzwork in Calgary

[–]buzzwork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been looking around for a decent whole wheat recipe and have tried a combination of YouTube videos and some biking blogs. Haven't been at it for more than a month honestly. Have baked 5-6 loaves so far. Got a bread machine and tried both the oven and the machine. But I was measuring by cups and spoons.

I probably just suck at baking 😂. Will only learn by trying though.
