I started this job two weeks ago, the same day as another new hire.

Last week, they already shipped something big.
Full project. Clean. Visible. Praised.

I’m still learning tools, names, and context.
Still asking questions. Still trying to land.

We all move at our own pace…
But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel the heat.
That voice: “Are you behind?”

Ever been in that spot where someone else’s momentum made you doubt your own?
How do you stay grounded when comparison sneaks in?

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
