I’ve been at my agency for 8 years as a Martech specialist, but the last 2 i am being handed media buying and PPC Campaigns. I’ve told my manager that I lack the skills, interest, and bandwidth for this work, but I'm just told to "figure it out." with no support whatsoever.

How should I approach this? I don’t enjoy the work and want to leave, but I worry that’s selfish. Am I overreacting, or is it time to move on?

I don’t think you’re overreacting I think it’s normal to feel that way! I also think it’s a great opportunity to add another in-demand skill under your belt. Companies are lean now and that’s pretty much the same wherever you go. If you stay, I would definitely make sure to document your work and list under your achievements at your annual review.. Good Luck!

PS (more here coz i hit the 500 char limit ) -> Also I'm proficient in elements like wordpress Dev, Hubspot support & automation, SFDC certified & do have projects in the same company that relate to the above that I dont mind, but im so tired of these PPC campaigns because its something i dont enjoy and very time consuming and just draining tbh especially because i do not enjoy them.

Just seeking advise to see if im overacting or if this is just the norm. Thank you if you have read this far :)

I don’t think it’s an over reaction. While personally I don’t mind helping when people are short-handed, they can’t expect you to assist effectively with no training or background. If they are blindly assigning people, they made need help in other areas where you can contribute. I’d see if that’s an option. This also sounds like a company in trouble. Keep your resume ready.

Even without LinkedIn, I see a lot of people younger than me in much better roles. They started off with relevant jobs right out of college. I graduated in 2009 when the economy tanked and worked in retail for years before I was finally able to land in corporate. Does anybody else struggle with this as well? I’m constantly comparing myself to others who are younger than me.

Currently working in Due Diligence and looking to switch to either IM or Consulting. I’m really looking to grow and I recently got an offer for a TP role at one of the big four.

Interested in working in PE, but experiences align more with the Ops side (3 YOE in strategic value creation). Is there a significant difference in total comp potential between ops and investments roles? Not sure how to make a case to break into investments with minimal DD experience, so thinking about Ops recruitment (Associate). Would also be grateful to learn about potential strategies non-DD focused consultants have used to ultimately break into investment teams.

I rented a house that had been vacant for a bit & the prior tenant didn’t do a thorough job cleaning up.

I just received the bill from the owner for $250, which is super annoying bc there was no expectation communicated that I would foot the bill for this, more so bc the cleaner did a LOUSY job.
