how many YOE in brand strategy do you have? what’s your current media role, and why did you leave a creative agency in the first place? the longer you stay in media (depending on your specific role), the harder your road back will be

smarthelpful

YOE- freelance 1 year (I know not a lot but I went to a portfolio school if that’s worth anything)

Strategist at media agency - I don’t touch planning. I focus on audience development, strategy, cultural research, and work with content and partnerships

Didn’t leave by choice needed a job...media was there. I work across some great brands been here for a year but I know I should move (ASAP 💃🏾)

Im not a recruiter but as someone who has gone from media to strat: Heavily emphasize the knowledge you’ve learned from media strategy and how it can benefit the account, client & creative from start to finish by understanding exactly what goes into every piece from concept ideation and planning to execution and implementation 😊demonstrating your skill set, as well as the benefits you’ll bring to the team, client and company will make you stand out as a candidate & offer good talking points for interviews. Feel free to message me too if you want to chat!!

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?

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

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??
