I’m so demotivated started a new role after acting as senior account manager in my last place and I’m now spending 4 hours a day booking meeting rooms and sticking work on walls and printing 🥴 I somehow managed to avoid this as an account executive and during lockdown never had to deal with these shitty admin jobs that don’t help you progress at all in another company the least transferable skill is booking a meeting room imo. It feels like spoon feeding yoghurt to adults.

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)

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager.
