Looking for advice to maximise marketing career.

Hey everyone, I'm taking up a role that's a little bit of a paycut back into marketing (Enterprise Demand Generation for a tech company) and want to see what I can do to get my income back up there.

What would you recommend I learn/do to either move up quickly in marketing, or jump laterally to something that pays well (e.g. Business Analyst)?

I'm comfortable with Excel and Sales, as well as marketing.

That's such a good idea! I've noticed the teams using more dashboards so I'll get on that. Thank you

If making more money is your goal, why not freelance to make up the difference ?

Or, learn all you can in this role and find another role in 8-12months. Where - if done right - you’ll most likely make 40% more.

Freelance isn't a bad idea! I'll do some research as I'd have no idea where to start.

Very good point about the jumping - it has been on my mind.

Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
