I’m a jr associate doing digital for clients at my current agency. I just had an interview for a role that’s on the internal corp comm track for a more competitive agency w/ little to no client (1/2)

Don’t do it unless you love dealing with c-suite politics. I started off that way and I’m NEVER looking back. Even the worst clients aren’t as bad as ego driven agency leadership

I started internally and shot myself in the foot by not jumping on client work when I had the chance. Now I’m scrambling to make up for lost time and feel “behind” people my age or those with similar years of experience. The difference? They were on client work the whole time, so while I’m struggling to get out of junior land, they’re solidly mid level or higher. DON’T GO INTERNAL early in your career.

(2/2) work. If I were to get an offer, should I make the move? Would I be able to shift back to account work if so? The opportunity excites me - just not sure if it’s lucrative in the long run...

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

I am only 4 months into being a surgical coordinator. I love the position itself however I am struggling to adapt into my new work environment. My position puts me in a place where I need to interact with my new coworkers but they are not as welcoming as I expected. There is also another surgical coordinator however I have come to find from other staff that there is a long history of her running other staff away and not fully training other surgical coordinator staff properly. Any suggestions?

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:
1. Smaller firm about to be acquired by a larger one, Product Marketing role (title would be Sr. PMM)
2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!

I’m struggling at the moment to gauge how much I should be getting paid in my position as i feel I’m heavily underpaid for the work I do, which includes managing digital marketing operations across 12+ countries, manage the studio/creatives plus lead on any campaigns and strategies, etc. I’m also remote UK-based although my company is international. So what do you feel a fair UK wage would be for the role? I love my job/team but the stress isn’t worth it for me atm. Thanks in advance!
