Marketing people: What brings you energy/fulfillment in your job? I'm considering some certifications this year to move into tech support / web development (two things I've come to love in my current role) after five somewhat unfulfilling years in marketing. I want to make sure I'm not missing out on anything first.

For me, it's all about not finding fulfillment in my job. My job is to help me make money, not give me or my life meaning. Once I had that mental shift and changed in perspective, things became a lot easier.

I left marketing and honestly I’m so much happier

How’s marketing communications nowadays? Thinking of switching teams

For me, it’s helping the programs I support reach their goals. That’s the most important part for me. Getting that support off the ground is huge and being able to point to my work as a catalyst of that is important.

Finished my loop for a marketing role 2 weeks ago, and got an email the next day that they wanted to give me an offer. Had my initial call with recruiter to put the offer together. It was lower than I expected, and we ended that call positively as I needed some time to consider, and we agreed to follow up in a few days. It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?

One of the worst double standards in corporate america.

Companies especially startups expect you to not keep interviewing when you accept a job offer. “It can deteroriate your brand.”

But companies would replace you in a heartbeat for almost any reason. Including interviewing a candidate who will replace you (you will be fired as soon as they find a person).

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?
