I’m going into my senior year of school at GMU. I really want to go into market research analyst or the social media field and wondering what are good first jobs to get my foot in the door.

Find a market research internship for Fall or Spring semester to get some experience on your resume. I wouldn’t recommend pursuing social media as a career. The best practices are constantly changing and it’s hard to prove the value of it to stakeholders who are interested in profit, not vanity metrics. I think market research would give you a more skillset that higher ups would think of as more valuable. It’s a better long term route.

Dilemma… I left my old company 4 months ago. Today, they’ve reached out to me to ask me to come back at a higher role, Operations Manager. I would’ve jumped on this opportunity if they asked me before. However, this role would be hybrid (2x in office) and come along with more responsibilities and hours than my current WFH role which is very chill. The pay is only 15% more than I currently make. Any thoughts?
