Most marketing job postings now list multiple specialties. Has this always been the expectation of marketing professionals, or is this fairly new? I've been out of the job hunting scene for nearly 6 years, so I'm confused why one role needs to be in charge of SEO, paid social, analytics, and everything else.

I’m seeing the same myself and quite honestly it’s frustrating as job hunter, I’ve been exclusively on the SEM for years now and had always worked with other media channels like SEO and Social to build strategies. What is terrible is the fact that they want all these skills in one individual for such a sh*t salary.

Smaller companies expect full-stack marketers to cover SEO, social, analytics, and more because budgets are tight, but larger orgs still split roles up. I'd say it’s pretty new for one person to own everything but yes, it's the norm now.

I think it was kind of always the expectation but job listings have evolved as the job has. And now they want as much experience as they can get for the cheapest rate.

I’ve noticed that for larger companies too.

My guess is - More & more companies want things in house, so it’s a combination of want & not knowing it’s not common.

It’s how it’s been for me for the past 5-6 years. I had to learn all the tools. And I took multiple courses. And am even taking JavaScript for Google tag manager to be on top of my game. It’s a lot of learning and it can get pretty intense doing everything yourself. Esp when you are working for smaller organizations who require 4-5 jobs rolled into one. Bigger organizations can afford to have specialists for each field. But I’m job hunting as well and those roles are being seen next to none. So atleast I qualify for what the current companies are looking for. I’m on day 3 of applying for jobs. So let’s see if I can get a suitable paying job soon. I’m also looking for clients to freelance. If I get 2-3 clients in the next month, I might abort my job hunt. Best of luck to you.

I’m maxing out my 401K, traditional IRA and HSA this year and paying for some house improvements. I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!
