I sat through a meeting today where we spent almost an hour talking about a problem everyone already understood. Lots of words, lots of agreement, but nothing actually changed by the end of it. Walking out I kept thinking how much time we spend discussing work instead of just doing it. Does anyone else feel like some meetings exist mostly so it looks like something is happening?

Is a “coffee chat” the same as a first round interview for on-cycle recruiting right now?

What does it mean if there’s a NEP at the firm who’s been there for a long time (20+ years), but never got promoted to EP? Never held leadership roles too. Does it usually mean EPs does not like the NEP enough to get promoted?

This person will be the 7th hire, the second marketer, and will grow into a full time role (if they want it) as we scale. I myself just completed PMA's Product Marketing Core Cert, but I can't do it all myself and run Demand Gen and Mar Ops. Also HM experience should I require?
