Hi everyone!

I was laid off from my previous role. I've been on the hunt for a new role for about a month now. I have 6+ years experience (predominantly sales) 3 years B2B and 6 years B2C

However, I seem to be only considered for entry level roles starting at $50K annually. I rarely hear back from the mid-level to senior-level roles I apply for.

I do hold a business degree. I've worked with professionals on my resume. Is this just a competitive market? Where am I going wrong?

It's very tight right now. Try to stick it out if you can, but if that's not an option, you may need to settle for a lower title/ pay. That doesn't mean you can't continue to look and move on once the market improves.

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

Anyone else finding it very difficult to get any enjoyment out of account management these days? Any coping tips? I feel like being an account person is especially difficult in the COVID era since so much of what we do is manage communications, ensure the team is set up well etc. None of this feels particularly fun alone staring into the void of Zoom all day ... but the same pressure is still there. I feel like I spend every week counting down to the weekend which kinda sucks.
