Feedback for very minor and non issues is being shared via email. I am hesitant to push back so as not to sound defensive. Should I assume that this is being fwded to others and documented to build some kind of case?

💯, in my opinion, especially if it’s not what you’re accustomed to. I’d address it tactfully.

If they’re taking the time to send an email it’s probably an issue - even if it’s small. So take it in and adjust your actions accordingly. Better to know than not IMHO. Then take control of the situation to set up some time in a couple weeks to ensure you’re making forward progress!!

Are you having performance issues? Or has there been feedback related to performance issues that makes you think this? If not, honestly I’d assume no. I think sometimes for minor things, it’s easier to just shoot an email about it then set up time to discuss it on a call - especially when someone’s at a little more of a higher level

There are some new team members being transferred into the account and they have fumbled a few things (minor imo). I'm afraid they are nervous and trying to shift appearance of blame for who they report to.

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!

What are some good practices during the sales phase of a potential project to execute before the contract is signed? Seems obvious but would love some ideas on standard operating procedures that help with seamlessly handing over a signed contract to the account team. For example, speaking to the potential client explicitly about their role in staying on schedule, reviewing scope creep consequences, etc.

When is it appropriate to ask / explore working on a different account? Or, alternatively, how long do you stay on a account before you start itching for a change? I’m happy with my agency but it’s been a long two years on my current client and wondering if I am just in need of something new. I’d also like to ensure I don’t get too deep on any one industry.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips? I feel like being an account person is especially difficult in the COVID era since so much of what we do is manage communications, ensure the team is set up well etc. None of this feels particularly fun alone staring into the void of Zoom all day ... but the same pressure is still there. I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.

What is the average salary for an Account Manager position? For context, the agency is 100% remote and doesn’t base salary based on the employee’s location. Was originally told $80k but was then informed the recruiter made a mistake and that it will likely be mid-70s at the highest.
