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.

A CD of my old agency doesn’t make cool stuff (he’s a ‘keeping shitty clients happy with mediocre work’ guy) but behaves on social media like he’s the man. He takes credit for the agency’s best work, or at least makes it look like he contributed.

No one in his team is happy and a lot of people burn out, but on social, he talks about work life balance as if he is one of the good guys.

It bothers me. He’s presenting himself as a great guy on social while reality is something else. 😡
