If you had to rebuild your marketing career from scratch in 2026, what would you do differently?

I feel at a disadvantage now because I didn’t double down earlier on owning measurable revenue impact and building deeper analytics fluency. less channel generalism, more leverage.

I definitely work on programs tied to revenue/field activities that can be tracked via salesforce. I do think the market is more for specialist than ever before, so pick a field and become an expert

There are career choices I’ve made that have been regrettable. I learned from them, too. So it’s hard to say if my life would be better if I did things differently.

If I had the option, I wouldn't. I would hate to be an entry-level candidate in this job market. I had choice when I started, which is something not many new grads have now.
