Hi everyone, quick question, I have been offered two positions: one for marketing specialist (12 months contract) and one for SEO specialist (3 months probation but then permanent). The first one is pretty much remote while the other is travel to London 2x/week. In terms of career opportunities and growth, which role would be more interesting?
The marketing specialist has a higher salary (3k) - also would you go for higher salary over a company that you really like?

If the commute is not too bad and you would prefer to work at the other company then go for it. You want to be interested in the kind of work you do and be around people you could enjoy working with.

The contract role pays you more because you will pay more in taxes. I would go with the three month probation one if it was me. I also have an SEO background of 12 years and highly recommend it for long-term career growth. :)

Hi fish friends - I’ve been on and off lexapro for five years - my current prescription looks like it’ll end next month and the doctor I got I from didn’t add any new refills. I didn’t love him or the practice and want to find a new doctor close to home (rather than close to work, with WFH still going strong)

Do I schedule another appt with the first guy to keep my pills going? Or let it lapse and get reevaluated by a new doctor?

Any advice in general for making the jump from more client servicing to advisory would be greatly appreciated.

Ideally I’d love to make my way towards either an Advisor or Strategist.

Hi all,

Hoping someone could advice on it. I recently accepted a job offer and it has been discussed and confirmed via email/phone that my starting salary is £26k and will raise to £28k after 6 months probationary period. Now, I have been sent the contract but there’s no specific statement about the £28k salary after probation.

It might be a stupid question but I am worried about raising this as an issue. Is this normal? Or is it better to ask for a revised contact with the specifics?
