Hi community! I finally managed to connect with Google Sourcer on LinkedIn who’s willing to spend time tmw and speak about open roles. I have 8 years of consumer sales exp + recent 2.5 years of Digital Pharma Marketing exp (agency) + MBA I just earned.
My Q: is it realistic for me to transition my career to in an Acct Manager or MM role with Google? I’d like to further grow my Marketing experience but not sure if my YOE is too low for their threshold (if any!) Lastly, any tips for the call tmw?

Extremely realistic, and common. Account Manager at Google is different than AM at agencies though, bear in mind. It’s sales, at the end of the day. I had 4.5 YOE at agencies (half in Pharma advertising) before I joined as an Account Manager. Granted, I’m a low-level, but you’ve got much more experience so you’d be coming in at a higher level

Thank you for sharing your career pivot details and encouragement. I’m definitely not afraid to dive back into Sales, I started out my career that way and miss crushing the KPIs / adrenaline rush. However wasn’t sure if given that I just got my MBA and have great Pharma Ads exp.. I’d be better off in the Marketing career path for google. I really hope the discovery call with the Sourcer helps me out tmw, I’m def confident and qualified for both, just need a little more information to pick the best route.

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??
