Does anyone have advice on moving from advertising to consulting? Seeing a lot on here that people with consulting careers are miserable, but still interested lol.

Currently at a small company with start up vibes. Looking for a large company with structured training and growth opportunities and the bigger consulting firms seem to match that ideal.

Have a non-compete so need to exclude marketing roles, but interested and experienced in strategy and analytics. Any advice is appreciated!

Lmao at “structured training”. Consulting is baptism by fire on pretty much every project, unless you are already familiar with the client and content

Oh great, so exactly the kind of training I already get! Lol thanks for the info

Tonight my wife threw water at me, called me a loser (second time this week but who’s counting) and told me she didn’t wanna be with me. All because while she was out I walked on the treadmill and “omitted” telling her that when she came home. Wasn’t trying to hide it, just didn’t think being on a treadmill for 5 min was worthy of being brought up in convo.

Am I the asshole here? I don’t think I did anything wrong and refuse to start giving my wife status updates while she’s out.

Hello everyone , I am a recent 2021 undergraduate with a B.S in Business( major: Marketing & Entrepreneurship).

Not looking to pivot - just wanting some opinions. I’m currently a workforce Insights analyst & yesterday my manager sat me down and told me he is wanting me to take on short-term & long-term projections (essentially transitioning me into more of a projections analyst position). This is a good sign right? I’ve only been an analyst with them for about 4 months & projections is one of our biggest projects that falls under our grant. Maybe I’m reading too much into it - what do you think?

Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth. Making good traction, but then you're contacted by a company in a niche that FASCINATES you...like you read books about this subject for fun, you'd probably love this job. It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?

Recruiters: if a candidate said something along the lines of “I’m obsessed with this opportunity” (not verbatim but it was that energy) how would you interpret that?
I don’t feel it came off desperate like I need to get this job, but rather in a “I’m really excited about this company and role” kind of way.

Edit: they’re also aware I’m in final round interview for another position, and meets all job requirements if that adds to anything
