I've been in the entertainment industry for 5 years, live in a MCOL city, and currently still make around 85k as a marketing manager. I'd like to crack the six figure mark but not sure if I'd have to switch to tech to do so - or maybe influencer marketing? Any thoughts?

I’m at about 10 years in entertainment and am now a marketing manager and I’m making the same as you, starting to wonder if I should give up and do something “boring” too so I can stop struggling with money!

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
