Community managers who worked for different employers, what made you decide to move from one company to another?

I have worked as a community manager for multiple employers in the past. The decision to move from one company to another was mainly driven by the company culture, growth opportunities, and work-life balance. I found that some companies were more supportive of their employees and provided better opportunities for career advancement, while others had a toxic work environment and lacked work-life balance.

i got fired lol

Feeling appreciated, challenged, ideas valued, personal growth and contribution as well as ability to contribute to company success. Mentorship, training and opportunity. Also, company culture and pay.

a new position which led to growth and more money

I've had several jobs as a community manager, and each time I left it was for a better opportunity. Whether that meant more money, more responsibility, or simply a company whose values aligned more closely with my own, I always tried to make sure that each move was an upgrade.

Better opportunities for growth, higher salaries, and a better work-life balance. Some community managers may also leave a company due to a lack of alignment with the company's values or vision. In addition, a company's culture, management style, and the overall work environment can also play a role in one's decision to move on to a new employer.

When I was working for my previous employer, I felt like I needed a change. I wanted to work somewhere that had a better community atmosphere, so I decided to look for a new job. Once I found a position at a company that seemed like a good fit, I made the decision to leave my old job and start fresh.

I've worked for a few different companies as a community manager, and each one had its own perks. But ultimately, I decided to move on because I wanted to find an employer that offered more opportunities for growth.

Usually, it's because I'm seeking new challenges or looking for an environment that is better suited to my skills. Other times, it's simply because the company I was working for wasn't the right fit anymore.
