Hi, fellow Account Community!
I’m looking for a solid, entry level account management boot camp for my new Assistant Account Executive to attend to learn the basics of Account Management. She is brilliant & very motivated, but very green as she’s fresh out of college. I welcome all suggestions both virtual & in-person trainings/camps of great value you’ve seen! Many thanks in advance.

Those of you who have left consulting for Program/Project Management at tech companies (not Product), what do you think of the switch? Have heard anecdotally that work can be uninteresting and career progression suspect, but seems like a very chill, high paying exit. Does this differ greatly if it is technical PM? Would love to hear thoughts.

Has anyone had a good experience in your career progressing from larger agencies to having senior roles at smaller agencies? I've worked at large NYC and LA creative shops, and now many years into my career, I've had more opportunities at smaller/regional agencies. At first, they welcome your experience with bigger clients and campaigns, but soon enough they want you to align with "how we do things around here" and "we know better" even if their approach has not been particularly successful.

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms.
