I'm so intimidated of getting promoted to manager. I feel like it's going to be so much more stress and responsibility and UNCERTAINTY. I'm getting the encouragement I need but I'm still dreading ..

Are you a female? I ask this because they say a big gender issue is females dread promotions because they see it as more work and males see it as a way to relieve work. My experience is more responsibility with experience makes this job more enjoyable

I think that's natural, at least that's how it was for me. Obviously delegation becomes critical, I think one important aspect of this is learning how to trust others to do the work well enough and in their own way. Otherwise your going to be anxious and stressed.

Won't lie - it's a lot more hassle dealing with people issues but overall it was a very smooth and natural transition for me. Managers are essentially Seniors with more admin and client facing responsibilities. Can't wait to be Senior Manager now ;)

LMAO what do Afro Latinos look like? I just asked a creative to include more pictures of Afro-Latinos in our hispanic messaging and she said "I tried to find pictures of videos that looked authentic but they didn't have the right look, it's a very specific look". So no black people in the ad cause this white passing lady needs to gate keep who looks latina enough. The blond, blue eyed women in the photos passed though... UGHH.

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"?
