How do exit opportunities change (improve) from EM to AP? I am a new EM trying to decide whether to stay for AP or try to leave now. What other factors should I consider?

For now the EM role is going well - I have traction for staffing, I can do the job well. One thing I don't like is frequent travel (and long hours). My PERM application is filed and should be approved in ~1.5 years

I think it really depends on this market. You can likely get higher salary and higher job title, but there might also be fewer roles (esp depending on what industry you want). I recommend starting to apply to jobs now- if you get something you like at a salary youre happy with, you can decide then. If not, you can continue AP path

Note- i dont know what a PERM application is (permanent residency?) so dont have advice on how that would impact your hunt

Stay until your PERM is approved, then file for I-140 premium processing (45 business days), then file I-485 right after if your priority day is current, if not then stay for 6 months and find an exit but you still can keep your PERM priority day

So… congrats on the promotion…. EM to AP is a different ball game, and you’ll need different skills
For it boils down to: 1. Do you find the Partner work inspirational or not?, 2. What are you really solving for, staying closer to home and be present? Or doubling down on impact and client work?

My number one reason to stay from EM to AP would be that EM was a limit fun, especially once I got good at it.

I am finding exits to be the same available, but also some better ones that are a little more work to find and interview for. Depending on company size, VP roles are available that often would have been Director roles as an EM I think.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role.

Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
