Currently working in SEO at a good sized and reputable agency, but looking to get out or transition into more of a general strategy or data focused role. Keep running into roadblocks because all of my roles have been so SEO specific. Has anyone made this kind of move before or does anyone have advice about how to go about this?

Learn paid media. Once you know the both of them it’ll be a lot easier to transition into a strategy role.

This is great advice, will do. Thank you!

I totally hear you on this! SEO career path can feel like you are locked into something specific when the reality is most of us are total Swiss army knives in terms of the skills we have had to develop to be effective SEOs. Product management, growth marketing and experience strategy are other avenues to move into from SEO. I’ve been trying to also get paid media experience at my agency but it has been difficult to get the actual experience even when leadership says it is a great idea.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

If you decide to move down a level in your next role, for learning purposes and for more wlb, is that frowned upon by future employers and looks bad on your resume?
