What about marketing to you like specifically? Are there brands you love?

I think internships are a great way to have a foot in the door and prove yourself. But you need to be a hustler and quick to understand what seniors need. We don’t always have time to manage and a lot of interns fall through the cracks because they demand too much energy rather than provide solutions to us.

In my case an intern I didn’t need fell on my lap. She proved herself to be extremely valuable, and I will do everything to hire her. If she was just someone I needed to babysit, it would be different.

All in all, one piece of advice that’s valid for all of your career: make your boss’s life easy. That’s how they end up not being able to live without you. And to understand that, understand what your boss cares about, what they struggle with. Get their trust. Support them.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
