I’m debating going from product management into marketing tech sales. People keep telling me I should be in sales. I don’t know if that’s a compliment or not. How do I know if it’ll be a good fit?

There's a ton of overlap between marketing and sales, I'd take that as a compliment! It means that people see you as charismatic and persuasive. I think you should talk to some sales people and get an honest perspective about the pros and cons in sales.

You should definitely do some research and networking and explore the possibilities in sales. If you're a good communicator and you've got some technical knowledge, you'd probably have what it takes. And from what I hear, if you're highly motivated you can make some real money at it.

Commission can be lucrative!

All great tips! Anyone make this transition?

People told me I should teach. I’ve been teaching college courses for a while now and I love it. Sometimes people see things in us we don’t see.

So true! That’s why getting feedback from others than you supervisor is so valuable.

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
