Company. X is hiring a social media/ community/ head of fan engagement for 80k. Requirements are for someone who has successfully built large communities from the ground up/ managed influencers and ambassadors, run social channels. Why would someone work for a company if they can just work for their own channels is hard to fathom?

I started my career in social and what I'll tell you is that the minute you are your brand, your whole life is dependent on your ability to hawk your life as fascinating content.

No benefits, no EI, no colleagues, or paid holidays. Just you, selling you, to support you.

It's not all it's cracked up to be.

80k salary or 80k followers?
I did all that as a social manager for brands with millions of followers. I could manage the work streams, but it wasn’t coming out of my pocket to pay for interesting partnerships, content creation, scheduling tools.

I had monthly rent lol stability of benefits, future career growth. I was not they type of person who wanted to monetize my personal life or had anything that I wanted to “build a personal brand” around. But I could build strat around communities already passionate about something 🤷

Gotcha. Your POV seems fair. Just thinking anyone who runs such responsibilities successfully, can earn way more than 80k. And yes, $80k/ year, not 80k followers.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

People with dogs: how did you get your dog used to city life? My dog is almost a year and half now (having lived the past ~5 months in the city) and he is terrified of the city. We used to live in the suburbs so much more quiet and low key. The cars going by, sudden sounds, bikes/scooters are a huge stressor, but more than anything it’s people - if he sees anyone walking or around him he panics and tries to flee. I can’t afford to send him to an expensive dog trainer and don’t know what to do :/
