Ever think about exiting this field while still a bit youthful? I devote too much time to working or worrying about work. 5 yrs in & still trying to “balance”. Don’t want to look back & have regrets.

My dad has started having regrets about the choices he made in his professional career. He did great work wise but now he feels he could have done more for his family. He was venting out to me the other day. And I felt really bad. I realized that we need to keep family as priority else we end up with regrets. But there is so much effing work every week there is no time to think.

Yes. And more attention to family instead of work.

Went industry and I couldn’t be happier to feel like I got my life back. I have been actually spending time with my friends and family, I have time to slowly start thinking about starting one of my own, and I’m more present with my SO. And I never take my laptop home from work 😱

I went into strategy transformation - I was on tech strategy projects, so now I’m the person on client side of those. It’s great because it’s still project-based work and I don’t get bored doing the same thing every day.

Curious how other marketing teams like to share resources internally. I'm considering creating a centralized hub where departments can access news, branding information, logos, premade materials and basic templates like letterheads. I'd also like to be able to give specific users access to specific things (ie I don't want everyone to have the logo vector).

Any suggestions or thoughts? Know any software for this? My instinct is just to build a website or page with logins, but open to options!
