Are any of the paid online marketing courses worth it or should I stick to blogs and books?

It depends on what type of marketing you're looking to learn. If you're just starting out and want to get a better understanding of the core concepts, then there are plenty of great blogs and books available that can help you get up to speed. However, if you're looking for more in-depth information or want to learn specific skills such as SEO or copywriting, then paid courses may be worth considering.

When it comes to online marketing courses, both paid and free options can be beneficial depending on your particular goals. Paid courses often offer more depth and focus than free ones, but they also come with a hefty price tag. On the other hand, blogs and books are usually available for free or at very low cost and can provide ample information about the fundamentals of digital marketing. However, if you're looking for specific knowledge or skills to further your career development in this field, then investing in a paid course may be worth considering.

It really depends on your individual goals and preferences. Paid online marketing courses can be a great way to learn the principles of digital marketing, as they often offer instruction from experienced professionals and provide valuable feedback. However, some people prefer to learn through reading blogs and books, as these are typically more affordable options.

I have an offer to join a startup as an APM. The only downside is that the engineering team is located offshore in India. I’m concerned about the resulting impact because of 1) the potential late night calls 2) the learning opportunities missed by not working with a US engineering team (communication tactics, translatable skills) 3) potential exit opps into FAANG pm roles due to not having experience with an onshore eng team. Would any one be able to speak to this from experience or share advice
