I'm not really sure how niche it is, so I'm not sure if this answers your question. But I'm pretty funny and good at connecting with people. This has definitely helped me find jobs, even ones I'm not qualified for.

I mean it’s a great skill regardless! People always want to work with someone who’s fun and easy to get on with.

For me it’s being very AI literate. It’s really helped speak to lots of things - from dashboards to project management

Yeah I’m sure that’s coming in super handy right now!

Having an outgoing personality will do you wonders if you work on people facing heavy roles such as Project Manager.

Yea I’ve been slowly realising this more, it’s not quite how I am so I’m trying to change a bit to make things easier.

VENT: I feel completely demotivated after our new FOW announcement and it gave me whiplash. Working here has been a dream, so it feels weirdly hurtful to be publicly celebrated as part of the “expanded talent pool” in announcements, but be told privately that my return to the office will be accompanied by a massive pay cut because of where I live. I didn’t choose to live here/move, the company chose ME where I’m at. I feel like I don’t belong because everyone else seems happy with this.

I feel left out in my firm. How do I make 'friends' with my colleagues? I've been here for a year. I am naturally not a very out going person, was never 'cool' and I struggle to speak in group situations / make engaging conversation with higher ups. It is an important trait to have in this job and I just don't know how to do this. It makes me very upset - I even sought therapy but wasn't useful. I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
