I just want to rant. I'm getting so bitter about working with these 'marketing analysts' who don't even know how to use WeTransfer and get amazing jobs with amazing benefits and name careers, and then there's me, with the experience, and struggling to get to the client side for so long.

Perhaps a hot take… But I do feel people with less “skill” do a better job at PR’ing the 💩out of themselves… In comparison highly skilled individuals tend to want to “let the work talk for itself”, which is great but gets us nowhere. No one outside of where you work will ever see your amazing work. Sounds cringe but make a bigger hoohaaa on LinkedIn, network more, put yourself out there so you can have a bigger platform to showcase your work. Title says digital strategist I’m serving notice going client side as Senior Strategist 💀. What do I know about comms strat? Nothing. What will I know when I eventually start? More than client 😂😂😂 Good luck OP!

If I applied to a company and sent a message to the recruiter on LinkedIn, but they haven’t accepted my connection request or responded to my message, should I follow up with an email a week later? Trying to find the line between enthusiastic and being a weirdo.

I think another offer might be coming soon but I really want a shot at this job.

Something I've been curious about: why are we so cautious about asking or talking about our salaries with each other? I've never found it offensive but people think it's weird to ask. Opinions?
