How easy is it for brand strategists to jump to client side? Been trying but feel like the “Marketing Manager / Director” roles require deep operational experience, ergo, not a 100% fit.

I think it depends on the company. Some brands will only take b school types. Others, let’s say younger more progressive companies, maybe be more flexible. Especially if they have an in-house agency, then the transition may be a little easier

Make sense.

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.
