How effective is it to reverse engineer a product in the market that your company now wants to implement? Like should you try to figure out your competitor's process and resources or start from scratch? What's the balance?

I think you always need to be studying your competitors to see what they're doing. But once you've figured out how the product works and what the features are you should be able to make your own determinations about how to build it, and improve it.

That depends on how easily you think you can duplicate it. If there are aspects that are actually new to you and your team, then definitely explore the product to understand how it was put together.

Focus on understanding the problem the competitive product is solving and build a relevant solution aligned with your product suite. Trying to blindly replicate a competitor’s product will likely lead to some rough outcomes.

Are flats available for rent near RMZ Ecoworld/Adarsh Palm Retreats?

Location: Denmark
After a decade of IT experience, including 5years as a data engineer, I've decided to apply for an in-company promotion as a data architect.
Though, I do not have prior formal experience as a data architect, I believe I have taken up the mantle in bits and pieces throughout my career and I am confident about taking the position up. But, does the lack of experience count against me? Do I not deserve a salary hike equivalent to the market average at least?

Does anyone have advice for making a jump into a Brand Strategist role at an agency (large or boutique)?

My previous experience is in-house and in more generalist marketing roles that included brand and content strategy (among other hats), most recently at a DTC e-commerce brand. Now I want to make a shift to work specifically on brand strategy and am trying to figure out how best to leverage my experience in a way that agency folks will be able to understand the parallels.
