Any recruiters who have worked for companies based in North America as well as Europe? I've worked in the US all my life, but am considering moving to Europe for a year or two. I wanted to know if there are any major differences you've noticed between the two places in the kind of skill sets that candidates are expected to have. What are they?

I worked with teams from all over the world. There is no one-size-fits-all. Skill sets, communication style, it’s all incredibly different. Look at companies abroad and see what they are looking for to get even a slight idea, but know it’s varied.

From what I’ve seen/heard: US leans harder on hustle, ownership, and “always on,” Europe tends to emphasize balance and collaboration more. Skill‑wise, Europe sometimes expects more languages and a bit more sensitivity to local/regional nuance, especially on pan‑EU work.

Recruiters, is it frowned upon for candidates to reach out to you on DM on Linkedin? Or does it show that they’re more interested than just submitting an application?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?
