Any advice or helpful resources for ADHD account people? I started in account management in mid-2021 and have found it super difficult to manage my workload in such a fast paced environment. It’s become very overwhelming and I’m having trouble getting promoted, despite being the first and last person in the office nearly every day. My client is deemed one of the more difficult clients at my agency, which doesn’t help. Part of me wonders if account management isn’t for me.

If I’m coming into Salesforce as a L6 in CSM, would I be able to get RSUs once promoted to L7? Does it work like that?

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

Moving from AM to AD at another agency. Any words of advice?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

Is 7 weeks too early to start thinking I may have made a huge mistake in switching to my current gig? I left the last place because it was overr toxic and terrible W/L balance, for one that seemed to be more “fun” and more realistic hours, only to find that I’ve now been working 12 -14 hours a day and just drowning and feeling like I cannot catch up or catch my breath. Everyone is in the same boat here which is why I’m so overwhelmed so quickly with no support. Is this an immediate red flag?
