Anyone who loves there job as an account manager/brand manager/client services rep
- what makes you love your role more? Your team or your clients?

I have worked in marketing for about 6-7 years. First few years were in social media management. My goal is to work at a big tech company.

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

Current situation: Marketing Manager, 90k, NYC.

I come from a business/startup background. I love creating digital products. Trying to transition into a more of a digital product design role. Do I need any degrees/cert. to do so?

Is there a market for lawyers to add expertise In crisis management or reputation management?

If so, how to break into that industry? Courses? Books? Certifications?

Hi ZS ers, what should be the right salary for DAAC role at zs, YOE:3.2

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

How did the interview process go when they asked "why do you want to leave your current position"?

If you were in a private company assistant controller position being offered $10k more to switch over to public and much better PTO days and fully remote as opposed to an in office position that I’m currently at in a Real estate growing company. Would u do the switch back to public (left public just recently)?

Got hired abroad to work hybrid position. Any suggestions for set up at home work space?

Good evening all. I’m joining AAI later this month and I need to check how much travel is happening. I was told a certain amount is expected during interviews, but how much is the practice actually traveling? Fully aware it’s client/project dependent, so don’t feel the need to reiterate that :). TIA.

For the people who went back to school to pursue a totally different career, what did you do for work? I don’t think I’d be able to do both my current job and school. I did retail in college and that probably isn’t so smart right now. Neither is working at a restaurant. I don’t think I can go back and live with my parents. I feel like I’m stuck.

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone? I don’t want to waste anyone’s time and it would be helpful to know this info from the initial outreach. My experience with this only applies to healthcare, but would imagine it’s the same in consumer as well. Anyone?

Does anyone know which country’s U.S embassy is open to renew US visa stamp for H1B ? I know Canada closed the borders until May 31. Just wondering what other countries are good options now given the pandemic. Thanks.

I am an account manager. More on the Operation side than sales. I help manage day to day needs of our client, develop training docs, and usually the go to for the coordinators when they can’t solve any issues in the account. I have not received a raise in a little over a year and I feel underpaid with my background. How big of a bump in salary should I request?

Hi there - I currently work at an agency and am thinking about transitioning over to in-house. I’m curious about what kinds of client interactions are involved compared to agency life (which is of course client facing all the time!)

Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

How are you reporting on SEM/AdWords results to clients? Are you including it in your paid media (display, social, OTT, etc) reports or SEO reports? We have always included it with SEO conversations, but I am curious how others are presenting digital visibility metrics.

Looking to move from management consulting into marketing. Seems like account management roles would be a good fit since this is my role in consulting. Anyone willing to have an informational chat?

I have about 1.5 years of progressive digital marketing experience, and prior to this, about 2 years of people management experience in a different industry. I’ve been offered a middle management position with company I’m currently at that requires me to manage 4 others below me, but is only offering a $5k salary increase - to $65k. Does that seem on the low end or is it valid? Any help is appreciated!

I’m currently in the process of accepting a promotion and have a say on the title. I’m moving up from an Enterprise Account Executive/Manager to a KEY Account Executive/Manager.

(Yes I know they’re practically the same thing but I’m a very technical person and title means a lot to me lol)

How much have you heard of Account Managers making at companies in the tech space? I'm thinking about leaving my market research company.
