I have 2 Job Offers in SoCal. Both are associate marketing manager… one at Taco Bell, and one with Mattel. Mattel is a global role, TB is U.S. centered. I come with CPG background, and want to continue working down the general management track.

Does anyone in this group have experience with either of those companies or roles like that. I am having a hard time making a decision, and any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

Congrats on having two strong offers
that’s a great position to be in! 🎉 From what I’ve seen, Taco Bell might give you more U.S.-centric brand-building experience, while Mattel could open doors globally with its reach. I’d think about where you see yourself in 5 years: Do you want to build expertise in the U.S. market or gain international exposure? Both paths can lead to general management, but the environments are quite different. Wishing you clarity in making the choice!

Those are two awesome companies but very different marketing styles, I'd lean towards the one that feels more natural to you (ex i dont have kids so I'm not as versed on Mattel these days) and I would love to be part of an edgy Taco bell strategies. Congrats on the offers for such great brands.

I’ve noticed on Glassdoor, salaries for my level (Director) are higher than my base but have similar bonus opportunity. At what level of pay gap would you push or make a stink? In hindsight I should have pushed more during the hiring process. At 160k base now, seeing ranges in the 170s to low 180s. These are specific to my current company.
