Manager is the highest non-executive position. At SM you or now considered leadership and you now are responsible for a book of business and have sales targets.

Engagement manager has nothing to do with rank and instead is your role on a client. Both managers and SMs could be engagement managers.

None, except sr manager is perceived to have more reps and maybe more mature in front of the client due to more reps…

Alright, thanks

YOE and depending on area- potentially a broader experience than a manager. Some SMs are like PPMDs some were just managers. So it's a range. Some more technical areas will have senior managers with 15-20 years experience vs process that may only have 8-10....

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:
1. Smaller firm about to be acquired by a larger one, Product Marketing role (title would be Sr. PMM)
2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
