Bring a list of quantifiable accomplishments and contributions you've made. Have a set of personal goals / development areas documented and ready to speak to. There are many online you can be inspired by. Have an open mind to what you'll hear. Be associative of the feedback but be willing to speak to your past decisions, with moderation. If you are doing a great job, start taking to them about how you can work towards the next level and the time frame. Express your joy and interest in the company.

Don't make excuses for anything you may fall short of. Accept responsibility and tell them how you'll adjust to do better next time. Come with actionable plans for your current work and where you want to bring it in the next year, as well as any areas you wish to explore and become more versed in outside of your normal skillset or day to day. Stress that you'd focus on your main tasks at hand and when you've got a good handle on it, then tackle the new areas of work.

Hi Account friends! It’s the start of a new year and I was hoping you all could share any book / newsletter / blog / course recommendations that help keep you up to snuff.

Interviewing for an account executive position at a marketing agency and they are asking for a salary range following my initial interview. I was making $62k at my last job which seemed severely underpaid, especially in Los Angeles. I would be fine with $85k but would definitely be more comfortable with around $92k. Does anyone have insight of what the best response of a salary range would be?

I don’t want to under ask but I don’t want to lose the opportunity by asking for too much.
