I am currently at a job I feel meh about and have the oppty to be internally promoted on a different brand. I think it will also be very meh.

I also have a job offer for an external opportunity (same level & comp as internal promo). I think it will be a good situation.

I have 7 YOE & haven’t been promoted since my first job 5+ yrs ago, only moved upward via job changes (staying at each job 2+ yrs). Is it better for long term career optics to show promo/growth at current, or take external opp?

1. You need to understand why you feel meh about your current role and the internal opportunity. If you can’t verbalize that, you’re chasing solutions to problems you don’t understand in the first place.
2. From my experience, vertical growth is easier to gain internally (your potential is more likely to be seen, you have built up a level of goodwill and trust by staying within the same org) - I would stay with it. But again, that depends on why you find it to be “meh”

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
