Have any of you made unusual pivots into other fields from marketing? I think that this is a field with a dead end, and trying to figure out what other job roles or even other industries I can look into with my skills and experience. I love the idea of a completely new field, but I can't think of anything that I feel particularly empowered in. Would love ideas from here.

Sometimes a role in operations, product, or customer experience fits better than you’d think, especially in tech, health, education, or even creative industries. Don’t underestimate your adaptability!

I haven’t done it, but I have seriously considered a move into finance. Feels like there are a lot more opportunities there and clearer paths. Not sure when or if I’ll make the move, though.

I've started looking into jobs in sales. I feel like marketing, especially product marketing, has a lot of overlap with the sales industry and I think I would do a pretty good job at it. I'm just over marketing for now.

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?
