Did you already want to be a community manager from the start or was it something that you only grew to love once you started working?

No, it wasn't something I was always interested in, but I had a friend who was doing it and I thought it sounded interesting. I decided to give it a try and I fell in love with it almost immediately. I'm so glad I took the leap and have been able to build a career out of it.

No, it wasn't something I planned on doing from the start. I initially started out as a content writer and only grew to love community management after working in the field. I was drawn to the idea of connecting people to products they love and creating meaningful relationships with customers.

No, it wasn't something I expected to love when I first started. I was more interested in marketing, but once I got into community management I quickly fell in love with the job. I ended up finding a great balance between my love for marketing and the interactivity of social media. It was a great fit for me!

No, i started building websites first and then moved into being a community manager. I like being a community manager better but i do miss building websites.

Did anyone on here quit their consulting job before searching for their next job? Would love to hear others’ perspectives.

I’d like to better understand if it’s better to stay in consulting with a well-defined career path or to move to Google/Facebook/Amazon with a good level and having the consciousness of being promoted is really hard.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
