I've been doing admin in media for a few years now but there's no upward mobility. I have a PoliSci BA, a public policy MA and a marketing certificate. What can I do to transition into a media role?

Take on the work. I made the move from admin to media because I had extra time on my hands. Ask if you can help an account that you are interested in, it is a great way to get your foot in the door.
Just, you know, be careful what you wish for. :-P

Big law specialist with an offer to be the CFO and GC of a 250M AUM hedge fund. All in comp would probably be ~$300k, so about $100k less than where I would be in big law (including bonus). Potential to get involved in the business side, but most likely more of a back office role (I would also be the only legal hire - main goal would be cutting outside legal cost and streamlining processes). Does this sound like an attractive offer? What exit options would I have?

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
