Is there still some long-term career benefit to staying on the client-services side? I’m at a mid-sized agency in Austin making $78k, and I just found out that my corporate client’s in-house assistant makes $82k. I am managing a million-dollar portfolio and working 55 hours a week, while they are just routing emails and logging off at 4 PM sharp. The discrepancy between agency responsibility and agency compensation is getting completely absurd.

I'm not on the agency side, but is that an adjacent role and responsibility to your title...or are you comparing yourself to a completely different industry's job title and assuming your roles are equal?

I would say no, that is a lot lower than you would make on the corporate side. Plus, I started to do client side work and it sucks.

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
