Is it worth it to still get certifications despite not having professional experience? For example, should I get an email marketing certificate and put it on my resume even though i dont have professional experience with it or will i still be expected to have 3+ years of experience? :/

Which job are you hoping to land?

There isnt one in particular, but ive seen several marketing coordinator/specialist roles mentioning wanting email marketing experience in their descriptions. I definitely want to get out of non-profit.

Is it more impressive to make manager in 2.5 years at the same firm or move to a different big 4. Im S1, got an offer from another big 4 to be a manager but my firm (also a big 4) wants to make me a manager and match the salary immediately. Assuming the work would be similar, what would look better on my resume? Goal is to make director as quickly as possible and go in-house.

I accepted an offer but am realizing that I low balled myself pretty bad. I know counterparts are making way more than me and I have about 9 years of experience. Now that I’m in the role, how should I go about speaking with my manager on getting to the next pay level and getting to where I should be? I should be at least $20k higher right now.
