I know more who left and came back. The reason they came back was how much supporting infrastructure you don’t have on your own. Being in a big4 as a partner is running your own business with the breath of the firm to pull from as needed.

I'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

I have been in marketing for 10 years now. I've worked with hundreds of clients and have been able to increase their sales by over $1 million each year.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.

Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?
