How should 6 years of past marketing experience be counted when looking for a sustainability job? 2 to 1? 3 to 1?

With 1 year of relevant sustainability job and a relevant 1 year sustainability graduate diploma, people still consider this profile quite junior. However, at 30 year old and having finished a bachelor almost 10 years ago, being considered junior is not a great feeling. What do you think about it? It's for a sustainability consulting job.

My pivot into sustainability consulting has been challenging too, being that my background is in marketing as well. Stomaching that the last decade of marketing is not largely applicable to business sustainability (aside from touchy-feely greenwashing) you'll have to exercise humility during the transition. My advise is to identify the marketing opportunities in a sustainability-driven firm and find your niche.

Really trying not to spiral, and my practice group leader has been openly hostile to and dismissive of me lately. I haven’t mentioned my depression/anxiety to him because we’re not exactly getting along swimmingly, but I don’t know who else to talk to about my MH. Fighting with my wife hasn’t helped either. Really not sure how to handle it aside from counseling but that isn’t getting me anywhere fast. Thoughts?
