Have been at a start up for 6mo. They want me to move to a marketing role, which will encompass creative direction and more biz. Career suicide? Anyone have experience with this?

Is there equity?

Yeah I would. Also you could ask for an new title that sounds better. Like ECD.

Why?

If it's something you want to do, then I guess nothing wrong with trying. But the way you framed the question and how you are answering makes me think they want to save money by using you to fill that role and throwing a few extra dollars your way in exchange. Make sure it's actually what you want so you don't get burnt out. Define what percentage of your time will be spent on each role.

If you're at all interested do it!! Nothing to lose coz you can come back agency side any time. 🙌

Work with them on a title that makes sense for both of you Create one if the current “title” won’t make sense for you in the future. The role will stay the same, but how it appears on your resume in the future is important.

That’s what has me confused. I don’t know enough about tradition marketing departments to know what kind of title could bridge that gap

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!
