I got into marketing because I love big ideas, and being creative, but my calendar is just dashboards and meetings. Do you ever get to actually tap into your creative brain in your job?

Yes i do daily. I even think data allows for creativity with interpreting and execution. I also intentionally make time for my creative process with carving hours out for walks or journaling to get those juices flowing.

Be intentional with your time and calendar. Purposefully book time for brainstorming and whiteboard sessions. If you have open slots on your calendar then people will fill it. Also think about how to use time in your commute for creative thinking

I do now but not when I was as bigger companies.

Sometimes, but creativity take multiple different forms. I enjoy getting creative with strategy. Try to block time for the areas you really need to focus on to use your creative muscle

I have heard from friends working in different companies about Synechron. Employees working hours are very closely monitored at Synechron.

Employees have to spend 9 hours inside Office rather than Synechron premise.

Also, employees have some app installed in their virtual machines which tracks the duration for which they were logged in.

Is this true?Wanted to confirm from someone who are working with Synechron.

Hi all, I have about 7 years of professional experience but only one year as a Customer Success Manager. I work on mid market accounts currently. I love my job, but would prefer to support a more robust platform that will allow me to add more value for my customers.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on what compensation you might expect for a CSM transitioning to a new company with one year of experience.

To clarify, I don’t have an offer yet, I’m just looking to make a move.

Thank you!

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role.

Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
