Hi everyone, Just venting and want feedback. Since young, I wanted to be an attorney. I did a Bachelor’s in Communications. I didn't want the political science route, enjoyed it. Did an L.L.M, invested in the LSAT, the GRE, the J.D. Next. Worked at multiple law firms, made me realize, I don't want to be an attorney. Got into the idea of marketing and i like it; however, sometimes just thinking of financial stability is making me stay in something that I don't know if I'll be happy in.Thoughts?

I’ve been in marketing and advertising for 40 years, in different roles. I describe the industry as an accordion. When the economy is doing well it expands, when the economy is shaky it contracts. So, stability depends on the economy.

Advertising is getting eaten by AI. Having a law degree is pretty versatile and even if you stay a lawyer it could be better if you focus in an arena interesting to you. Like I know a lawyer who is a music lover who works at a record company and a movie lover who works at a studio. You can apply this beyond entertainment to anything that suits you

Don't do it. I've been doing this for 12 years and the field has never looked worse as far as long-term stability is concerned. AI has eliminated a ton of positions and vastly reduced pay on the ones that still exist.

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

Hi everyone. I'm pretty early in my career (just over 1 YOE) & not really enjoying my current role as a Consultant/Developer because of the type of projects I get combined with some mobility issues. However, I'm really interested in technical program management or project management and I'm looking for any advice on how to get there bc I've been applying, but can't even seem to get a call back.

(Also would really appreciate some likes on this post to get my 11 likes out of the way 😀)
