I worked hard and networked my way to a seat at the table for something I’m pretty proud of, and now I don’t like it at all lmao. I don’t have nearly the level of expertise as anyone else in the room, and not nearly as eloquent in my responses (I have 3 YOE vs the others with 10-15+). Any tips to succeed in this position? My objective isn’t to pretend I know more than I do, just enough to not get relegated back to the kids table 🥺

I was in the same situation in my first job in pharma. Way over my head. Find a mentor or two to help figure out where you should be focusing your learning/efforts.

What is that seat at the table? L7, L8? Amazon is pretty flat as far as I’ve seen.

Great!! It’s an awesome opportunity to accelerate your promo case. Don’t think too much about their experience. I’ve seen folks with 20 years of exp at L5 levels !

And the usual. Escalate whenever. Ask for help. And you will do very well

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
