Yes it is. People seem to think it is easy work, but in reality it's very demanding and you need to be on top of everything all the time.

It can get stressful but my team is very easy to work with, so whenever I get overwhelmed and I need support, I rely on them for it.

Yes, community management can be a stressful job because it involves making sure all customer inquiries are responded to in a timely manner, monitoring the performance of posts and campaigns, handling crises, and ensuring that all the stakeholders involved are satisfied.

It depends on how you approach it. The job requires constant communication with customers, as well as other members of the organization. Having excellent organizational skills is essential in order to effectively manage multiple tasks at once.

Community managers must possess strong problem-solving skills in order to respond quickly to customer issues or complaints. Lastly, they must stay up-to-date with industry trends and social media best practices.

I'm not going to lie, most of the time I feel stressed about work but I wouldn't change it either. It's something I like to do so I look for ways to lower my stress level at those times.

It is probably the least stressful job I have ever had. There is still pressure at times, but it's always very manageable. I think a lot has to do with my team and the c-suite who are all amazing.
