I’ve spent the last 4 years in a small in-house marketing team where my title is “Marketing Specialist,” but I do a little bit of everything: email, paid social, light copywriting, and reporting. I’m trying to move into an agency role, ideally as an account executive or digital strategist, but my title and experience don’t map perfectly to agency ladders. What would you need to see on a resume or portfolio that would make you comfortable putting me forward for an agency role??

Take a look at those titles on LinkedIn (at agencies) and then match your resume appropriately. Seems like digital strategist may be a closer / easier shift based on what you currently do.

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!

Looking for some advice on a career change. I work in a technical role and have well-developed soft skills. I want to transition to UX (w/ focus on accessibility).

Reviews also vary wildly. Are these more expensive programs worth the huge increase in cost?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
