I'm working towards jumping to a director of product marketing role in healthcare. I've tapped my network a couple times. Cold messaging people I follow like a CMO or Head of Product Marketing on LinkedIn hasn't been fruitful or efficient. Has anyone found better networking avenues? There are lots of on-site networking events in SF/Bay Area, but skew towards machine learning / AI / big tech. I'm in a different industry altogether.

Hi everyone!

Would love to get your ideas on this.

I just got an offer from a company that I have mixed feelings about. Team seems great but Glassdoor reviews, not so much.

I don’t want to fall between two chairs for not taking this offer and then not getting any from other companies. What should I do? Best strategy?
