I've been recently approached by interesting companies in different industries for M&A roles and always go as far as the VP/Partners for interviews. I always end up loosing to someone with 5-7 years of experience....
Any tips on how to rock that last step for the next shot? Truly a bummer to put so much energy every time for the same result

Need some unbiased advice! My current agency hired me back in November at almost 8 months pregnant. I love the agency, my team, my boss.. everyone has been incredible. I currently make 58k. A friend of mine gave my name to the recruiter at his company looking to fill a Marketing Manager position and they are interested in setting up an official interview. The low end of this position would be 80k, so obviously the salary is a big lift along with the benefits package (see comments for more)

I told him that that’s what the agreed upon duration was. Anyone else have this come up?

Hello, question:
I’m I overthinking? I have been with my company as a RC for more than a year, no raise or position change, been doing the same thing since the first day. My one year anniversary came up, and I have literally been chasing my manager for a performance review, seems like he is stalling. Should I start applying to other roles? Is one year + experience enough to move to a higher role?
