I'm thinking about getting out of advertising/marketing. I'm betting there are professions out there that my skillset applies to that I just haven't thought of (i.e. event planning). Any suggestions?

I assume as an Account Exec you are organized, have strong interpersonal and speaking skills, and have strong management skills. Are you looking to use this in your possible next role or are you considering a passion you’ve never tapped into?

As Marketing Director 1 asked: What are you good at? To add to that, what do you like to do or what are you passionate about?

If it helps any, Glassdoor recently released the top 50 jobs for 2019 and a common theme seems to be management/managing... the thing your title leads me to believe you are good at. Maybe you can scroll through the list and see if something catches your eyes?

Rising 2nd year here: been rethinking my choice as an M&A attorney. I've had a rough go of it over the first year-and-a-half of practice and am thinking about moving to a different practice area. I'd like to stay on the transactional side, but am not quite sure what areas I can leverage my corporate and M&A skills in. I was thinking T&E (i.e. business succession planning, etc.)

Would greatly appreciate input from others.

This annual appraisal I have got a good % of appraisal increment on my salary but I was not promoted to a senior developer (although I have been mentoring a junior dev in my team and been part of building the project by implementing new technologies and tweaks) and my total YoE is 3.5+ years.

I think so. They've already got an extensive library and have consistently over 20 years delivered the best shows on TV, period. I understand that the core AT&T business may seem like a "liability" to the valuation but I still think that their valuation doesn't make sense. What am I missing?
