I'm doing Analytics, but would love to make a lateral move to some BD/account position. How can I do that? Do people often specialize in a domain and then go do that stuff? I'm not a BD/acct. lifer.

More job secuity in analytics....

I used to be in finance/banking. Then got a job in finance at an agency and worked a lot with account. Then asked my boss abd HR if I can move to account. Boss was cool, hr laughed. A week later they called me back because somebody in account quit and an account VP needed help right away. That person was my best mentor. Started from bottom as an account coordinator but she let me talk to clients and lead status calls within 6 months. Rest is history. However, I'm getting out of advertising now... (12 years was enough)

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

Hello,

I am a 3rd year insurance defense attorney with product and premise liability experience. Due to long-COVID, I am likely to lose my job.

Any advice would be appreciated regarding networking, where to start, etc. Thank you.

Hi All,
I had my 1st round of interview with Executive Director and 2 leads for Technical role. I have 2 queries-

2. How long (time) will it take to get an offer?
TIA :)

A CRO offerred me an internal consulting/biz dev role. They offered 145k TC (20% bump) and slightly better benefits. They also offered accelerated path (6mo to 1yr) to MC. While promotion to MC at my current company is at least 1 year away. The job is interesting to me and fits my careery goal. But my big concern is that I've only been with my current company for a year (this is my first job, post PhD). Would this affect my resume in the future in terms of being viewed as "job hopping"?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
