There’s a lot more spreadsheets, data and presentations involved, and a lot less creative.

You'd really need to do an MBA. But then, yes why not.

People have their own reasons for sure. But the pivot from agency creative to true brand manager is steep and there are lots of skills you need to succeed. I agree only a top MBA is worth it but still a smart step in my opinion.

Lol why?

I do sales for a major engineering firm. Focused on new business and exploring new markets. Last year I was in the top 50% for order intake, and first in number of projects won along with number of new customers. I think this is extraordinary given the effort it takes to win new business.

For next year my goal increased by 2.5X, and less of what I bring in counts towards that target. I really enjoy my job but I will essentially be getting a large pay cut. Lost in what to do besides quit??

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out.

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
