Had an interview where the hiring manager let me know upfront “it’s not an easy role. It’s brand new & it’s going to be tough.”

Why do I want the challenge? Glutton for pain?!

A challenge can be good. I heard a lady say just the other night, "Hard work is good work." It stuck in my head.

Gosh I am the same way as you OP. I love a brand new role because I feel like it gives you the chance to kind of mold the role and make it your own, while also shining because nobody has done that role before. I would say to go for it because I, too, love a good challenge. You have got this OP.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

Should I Go Back and Reneg? Recently I was offered a role as a Project Implementation Manager (In Retirement Services) .The salary range for Colorado residents was 65-89K.

I accepted already but may get an offer from another HR company in account management around 90-100K. Need advice

I keep on being asked ‘are you open to full time after this contract is over?’ Is this also common for you or is it just me and my role? 🤔

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!

Hello, hoping for some input on how to time a job change. At a startup - we are doing well now but unless we have complete turnover in management I don’t think we have a bright future post-COVID. I could coast here 1-2 years before having to look. I’ve been here for a little under a year. This is my second in house job after 10 years at the same firm. The market is hot now, probably won’t be in 1-2 years and I am getting interest for good roles. OTOH I don’t want to look like a job hopper.
