I was laid off in November but quickly found a new job. Despite the good salary, it's a step back career-wise and doesn't align with my long-term goals. I'm open to an ACD role for a better agency and brand. Any recruiters in New York open to chatting? A pep talk would help.

Not a recruiter but in this market be thankful you have a job and you found something so quickly. Lots of people are having to take steps back, to the side, pay cuts, and moving to industries they didn’t expect to move to. That’s what happens in an employers market. Try to make the best of it. Expand your scope, your discipline, use it as a way to improve parts of your leadership, etc. I’m also out of work but a mentor told me I need to this of this next role as a layover, not a destination. Try to ride out this wave, network, and up skill in the meantime so that when it shifts back, you’re ready! I hope this helps. And I understand the feeling.

Had a very unpleasant experience with the entire interview process at Paytm. First of all they kept all three rounds in a single day . It started from the morning and ended up till the final round at late evenings. After all the rounds were cleared, the HR asked for the expected package, and when I gave him my quote which was just 35% more than my current CTC, he got reluctant and said we only have a budget of an X amount which was just 10% more than my current CTC. Who on earth does that..?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?
