Any advice or tips on finding an entry level social media or digital marketing role located in the DMV? I’ve applied to several jobs and attended serval interviews but still no luck. The job market seems really competitive during these dark ages.

definitely networking... you’ve probably heard it loads of times though. i’d suggest making a list of companies you really want to work for or people who have your ideal job title. then reach out to those people asking for advice on how they got to that position. they won’t offer you a job right off the bat but try to follow up with them and keep them updated and they may give helpful advice and perhaps a referral. good luck, the beginning is the hardest!

I am product designer with a fair amount of experience (6yrs).

However, I am really interested in joining the team at Booking, especially because of the design culture.

What should be my reasons to accept or not accept the offer from booking?

I don’t know how many people are in the European market who can help me but here we go. As someone who recently finished an internship at a Big 4 company in Germany, I realized that every strat role requires or strongly recommends a masters degree (as I have a cs undergrad). So here’s my situation: would it be better to do a masters in management at a top school in Europe, or accept an offer from EYP for a full time role. I don’t want my lack of masters degree to come up negatively in the future

Hello. I am a Sr. Systems (Management) Analyst (equivalent to a Sr. Software Engineer), promoted to this position in 2019, from a Software Engineer position. I am doing really well and I always get great annual performance feedback. I work for a health insurance giant, that has a headquarters in MN (😉), but I am based in IN, with 10YOE total. I'm wondering how much I should be making, and if it is high time to ask for a raise or look for other opportunities and jump ship.
