I recently joined a company and I'm in charge of some marketing activities and some inside sales ones.

I need to chose one of the dept.Background:the mktg team is very small (3), my boss is amazing,very supportive and always listens to what I have to say.The sales team is bigger (8),great boss as well,but the team is very disorganized.I think sales will mean more money,but also a lot of pressure.

In mktg there's already 2 seniors,don't know if there'll be place for me to grow. Any advice?

In my personal opinion I see more opportunists for growth in the Sales side. Going to the Sales Team and helping organize the team gives you an opportunity to add additional value and set yourself apart. If you’re in a position where pressure is something you’re comfortable with then id go to that direction.

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts, I appreciate it. I do feel comfortable under pressure, it motivates me. I should have a chat with the managers of both teams to ask their vision of my personal growth if I join one team or another. Any suggestion on that?

Best of luck with your new job, which ever role you choose!

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team.

Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?
