I'm in a position where I don't like the tasks that are coming with my next promotion, but I really love my company (culture-wise). I have no idea whether I should jump ship or not.

Consider...my kid hates learning new songs on the violin. She loves the violin, hates new songs. What she loves is the fluidness of play of what she knows, and what she hates is the jarring, slow jerk and assumption of judgement as she slowly pushes through something new. It doesn’t take too long, though, before the new thing is fluid and she’s happy again. When she’s in New Mode, I tell her to DO, DON’T THINK, and to remember she knows what the others side of it feels like. Maybe you’re in New Mode (usually a scary thing) and just have to detach enough (don’t think so hard) to do the things until they’re second nature. Then again, maybe the next set of tasks is taking you away from your craft, which is all you want to do and want to continue to evolve. If you’re happy with the pay range - then refuse the promotion or leave. The reality is the higher up you go, the more you have to manage relationships than exercise your craft.

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?

A good friend of mine graduated from Parsons this past summer, has degrees in Journalism and French, is a talented photographer and designer (which I feel I have a pretty decent eye for after working at a design-driven branding agency for half a decade). And I’m certain she’d make a fabulous junior AD or content strategist. Unfortunately she, like many in this pandemic, is still without a job. Any advice for her and/or shops/hiring managers/non-traditional job hunt tips to steer her towards?
