What's your target job after this one? Five years from now?

Marketing is a way easier in than product management, you'll be fine.

I think the consulting role will give you more exit breadth, while the CPG one will position you to advance much faster if you decide to stay within that niche. That industry also does particularly strong marketing work from what I've heard--though don't take my word for it.

Hello all, for those working in an agency. I wanted to see what your typical client workload is? I’ve been in my role for about a year but the workload has changed dramatically without hiring help.

Can you please share:
- the number of accounts you manage
- how many support staff you have on those accounts
- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar.

On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
