Hi Fishes,

I graduated from a reputed College as a B.com Grad 2020.
I have working in Deutsche Bank ever since.
Our team has gone through a very tough time cause few for the senior member left us. I have support very well and taken up all the roles of a Senior Analyst.
But, I am not happy with this year’s appraisal.
What should be the average salary at this point of Career.
Note- I have passedCA inter.
Currently pursuing CFA as I want to have a career in Financial markets.

Anyone in this group pursuing FIRE?

As a job seeker, what would be the benefits of taking a 12 month contract with no "contract-to-hire" statement in the listing over a salary or contract-to-hire position? I'm currently questioning if I should look for other opportunities, but potentially giving up my 401k, health insurance, and other benefits is nerve-racking, especially as a head of a household of four. Would it be beneficial to start a LLC or something if I were to go this route? I've only held salary positions in tech.

I am a commercial banking analyst and I want to know what exit opportunities are out there. Any thoughts?

Can people that start in industry move to Big 4/public firms? If so, what kind of experiences do they need to have?

How easy is it to transition to ServiceNow from Workday?

A former client director colleague has gone in-house as CMO. They are now asking me (currently ECD) to join and set up an agency-like creative team to up-level everything from brand to sales materials. It's a good mgmt opp and good creative is a definite possibility, but I'm conflicted. Aency BS would be nice to step away from, but I think I'm still bought into the notion that agencies are superior and in-house is where washed-up creatives go to die. Any regrets from those that made the jump?

How do you know if/when it's time to switch careers?
My current job has a solid progression to make more money, but it takes years to get there. I make about $70k right now. As a data engineer/analyst. Primarily work on the engineering side, but I went to school for analytics. I never saw myself doing the engineering role, but when I first took it, it was a great start to my career.

I was offered a new position mainly in management in a completely different industry for $100k and bonuses.

What's the best career advice you ever received? What's the best resource you used to help further your career?

Got an email from a recruiter at what many would consider a dream agency:

“Hope this finds you well. Love your resume, your portfolio, and your experience. Would love to connect, talk, and talk about opportunites with our company…”

All for it to be followed by another email:

“Apologies. This email was meant to go to someone else. Have a great rest of your week.”

As a marketing agency, how did you lock in a deal with your first client?

I was just wondering if you ever feel like we're in a race to see who can come up with the most ridiculous marketing tactics?

It seems like there's always a new "trend" that comes out and everyone jumps on it. And then, a few months later, everyone jumps off it and starts something new.

Hi All! I need some help. I got recently laid off and I am going to start interviewing for roles soon. Should I tell recruiter that I’m not in the company anymore? If so, what should I say? (I got fired due to my performance, but my manager set me up for failure from the beginning, aka toxic leader).
Also, should I update my LinkedIn so that recruiters know I’m open for work?

I just fired our 2nd digital agency because they over promised and seriously under delivered. How do I find an agency that I can trust to do the work we’ve agreed to?

Trying to pivot into marketing (my original passion) but heard I might have to lower my salary standards. Is it possible to get an entry experienced hire role for 70k+? Or are there any specific/similar roles where this would be more realistic? I live in New York by the way :)

I work with quite a few oldheads in my department, I’d like to know how to convince the higher-ups that we need to evolve our strategies to bring us in line with best current practices.

Hi all! I work in digital marketing / organic social. For those in organic social what platform do you use for scheduling posts, analytics, UGC, managing influencers etc?

Your thoughts and opinion are appreciated with all platforms! :)

Self-taught marketers, how did you grow your knowledge to get where you are today?

It seems that smaller companies are more dedicated to marketing products and the big name brands just figure word of mouth is enough, I don't know why this is

I made it to the final round of a recruitment process for a Content Marketing Manager position at a big multinational company in the food industry.

What is something creative I can do to stand out at this stage? Would be happy to hear your personal stories too or just your general advice. Thanks!

I was recently hired by my dream agency. I get creative freedom, flexible hours, and I can work from home if I feel like it. Always keep looking for better opportunities, you never know when one might show up!
