Industry can be a double edge sword. Both agenda driven and good personal development. I remember someone on here saying getting to a certain point in a career is a “war of attrition”. Remember that because as much as you are there to support others and have a good culture amongst peers guard yourself and still keep your own goals and values close to yourself.

Lol, unfortunately untrue of my banking days.

Enjoy the new role and don’t overthink it

Absolutely!! And remember why you joined the firm! Don’t make comparisons with former organization. It’s an adventure and don’t overthink about it!

“Industry” is a generic term used by consultants to describe any company that isn’t consulting. Which is 99.99% of jobs. It’s hard to give advice when the question is effectively “I got a new job. Any tips?”

Hi everyone, unfortunately I was recently affected by a layoff at my company. About 30% of their marketing department along with other departments were all let go. I have 3+ professional experience with product marketing, digital marketing, and event management. Im on the hunt for a new job and am fairly new to this lovely city. If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or would like to network let me know. Id love to connect!
