How many years of experience do you feel like I would need before my bosses move me into a manager role? For some background: my company does all their media and marketing in house. When I was originally hired I was hired as the media traffic coordinator and our media manager just handled OOH. Well our media manager left the beginning of July and now I handle all of the media traffic plus OOH plus coordinate with our production team for needed assets. (Cont in comments)

Agencies usually promote faster than regular corporations, the bigger the corporation the most likely it will be at least a year before you get promoted. They have a very formal promotion schedule tied to financial
reporting and performance. You might get an exception since you are taking on more work than you “should” be.

Regardless, I would think about how to build a case of why you should get promoted or a bonus. List out your role and responsibilities for the position you are in and then list out all the extra tasks and responsibilities you are now doing bc someone quit.

Figure out the extra hours per day and week you are working bc of the extra responsibilities.

You need to show how much more value you are bringing to the company by having extra tasks and responsibilities.

It’s about the value you bring and how that has helped the company. What happens if you did not do this extra work. Can it be quantified? Not necessarily by media dollars but by the tasks and responsibilities if you did not do them. How other things would not get done down the line if you did not accomplish them.

Thank you! This definitely helped.

On top of proof reading the billing each month for all media. I know I’m still relatively new in my career (graduated from college in May 2019), but I also feel like I’ve done enough to prove that I should be promoted to media manager and it’s getting to the point where I can’t keep coming to work each day and doing so much work for an entry level salary. Do you have any advice?

Thank you!!

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company.
