I went to college and barely learned anything relevant about marketing haha. Learned on the job/internships, through courses, and by breaking things on my own. There’s a wealth of knowledge out there if you look for it and use trusted sources

I learned a lot about marketing through trial and error, as well as by reading books and articles on the subject. I also took online courses and attended workshops and conferences to learn more about the topic.

I learned a lot about marketing on my own by reading books, articles, and blog posts, and by experimenting with different tactics. I also took a few online courses and attended some marketing workshops. And of course, I've worked in marketing for many years, so I've learned a lot through experience.

Through self-study and working with others in the industry. Marketing is a constantly changing field, so it's important to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and techniques. I read a lot of industry publications and blogs, and I also attend conferences and other events where I can learn from experts in the field.

I started with free online courses and stacks of library books. After getting my first job, I focused more on following trends with blogs.

Would it be difficult to get a job in IA if most of my experience has been auditing private non-404 asset mgmt funds? I really enjoy process walkthroughs when I have them though. Also, does title matter that much in IA? I’m a manager now, but based on job descriptions it looks like I might have to go for a senior auditor role because audit manager roles generally call for 8+ years from what I’m seeing. Can title be negotiated?

Just a question for those here. What does anyone see as a job outlook for a pharmacy technician that has 15 years of experience and is studying for the CPhT? I would like to return to 100% remote work and, understandably, most job postings that are about my caliber are requiring the cert. I am thinking of possibly pivoting into an IT job that would be fully remote later on down the road, but I’m interested in seeing what is possible now (and an average pay) for someone with my experience.

Hi all,
Need an advice. I am confused between doing masters or learn tech stack and increase experience and salary.
*My primary goal is to earn more.*
If masters I have to do in US or UK, so GRE, GMAT.
If for learning and tech experience I can learn tech stacks.
But I am confused between this.
Could you please tell or suggest what would be a better choice? Is doing masters in US or UK is a better ROI or be in India and gain exp and earn more by switching?
Currently I am a Java developer.
TIA

I managed to be hired by a really good company so naturally the impostor syndrome in me is now in full gear. Obviously, I must know things to have been hired, but I feel like there's so much I still don't know about product design. I got here through short courses and some books and articles and faking it till I made it. I am thinking to take a proper PD course now that I can afford it, if not to learn something new, then to affirm what I already know.

Thoughts on this plan of mine? Hehe
