How often do you revisit the goals you’ve set for growth?

I started a company just under 1 year ago. We sell a product via ecom channels and have done ~100K in revenue with a 60% gross margin.

The first 6 months I was working a full time job. I quit my job to focus on the business full time, and have since depleted my readily available capital. I’m bootstrapping the business with my own funds. I was recently offered a job in my old industry for 80K per year. I was previously making 62K.

Should I take the job?

Valueslabs, Mindtree, Genpact, Fiserv , Birlasoft Cts

All of them are almost giving the same ctc?

For startup founders/people with a successful side project: How did you get the idea/inspiration for your business? I’m currently working at a Series B startup and my end goal has always been to found my own startup, but I graduated from college 2.5 years ago and I still have not had any great ideas cross my mind. I do spend a fair amount of time brainstorming. I don’t want to continue working here forever, but I’m struggling to generate that “this is it” idea to build a company for. Any advice?

Hello everyone. I will be transitioning from the Navy soon and want to work in the cybersecurity field. I have an active secret clearance, BS in strategic intelligence, working on a masters in cybersecurity, and taking Security+ in December.

For those of you who got out at 10, do you wish that you rode it out to 20? I’m at a crossroad and I’m not sure what to do. Have some active/reserve time, wrapping up graduate school, and am now considering either a) come back to the business world or b) go active and retire before 50 and live off a nice pension. Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.

About to finish my first year. I’m a specialist. Only going to hit 65% of my hours (took a 4 week vacation cause of wedding/hm).

What kind of plans/services do you offer to your clients as a freelancing social media manager?

In my opinion, the slow ROI keeps businesses from seeing the importance of investing in the community. Do you think that attitude is changing?

What prompted you to do a complete community overhaul? Did it pay off?

When you’re discussing the company on community pages like reddit, do you use your own name or the company name?

What's the most inspiring post, comment, or interaction you've ever seen in your community?

Does anyone here know anyone who has left their CM role? What was the next step in their career?

Nobody asked, but here I share the best 5 tools that will ease your job as a community manager:

👉 Canva
👉 Hootsuite
👉 Google Drive
👉 CapCut
👉Qoob Stories

Would you add or change something?

I need a magic spell to make employers stop asking community managers to design, manage ads and create strategies. As you read, a CM is in charge of your COMMUNITY. They're should not be doing the work of 4 people.

I’ve started a new job and though they have a community, it has been stagnant for a long time. Would you face the change directly with a “we’re back!” style post, or just increase the activity without acknowledging the absence?

Looking to create a survey to send out to our customers to get an idea of what kind of content they’d like to see from us. Any suggestions on high-value questions to ask?
