I just accepted a similar role. It’s what I always wanted to do so I was more than willing to take a 30% reduction to my cash comp. I’m valuing the options at zero but the potential upside is a nice bonus.

Pretty good package, I would take it if you believe in the company

Almost 32 years old and feeling stuck. Been in advertising at creative agencies my entire career and wanting to make the pivot to client side marketing but am feeling very under skilled in certain aspects - project management, account management, digital marketing/CRM, data science. Seriously considering going for an MBA to fill those gaps and open doors. Anyone do something similar? Good idea or unnecessary? Am I too old?
