Congrats! In Aug I interviewed for a data mgr position at PwC then they decided to cancel the req. 😞

You're now the sales rep for your team, both externally and internally. The cheer squad for the people who report to you and the work they do. So, cheer!

Also, be better than the best manager you ever had, whatever that means to you.

If this is a pirate ship, you are now in charge of the press gang. Get the team aboard the ship, distract them, get them to realize there are no other options, and make them work until they think they want to be partners.

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads.

During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?
