Go for it.

I have a handful of books saved from CDs and senior ADs I look up to that I often reference when I’m working on my own book. Better to look up not across imo

imo looking across is the only way to go. sr peeps are gonna have a ton of real world and actionable stuff you won’t have as a student. best to compare yourself to the exact people competing for the job and not feel bad

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
