Thoughts on making the transition from paid to organic? I'm currently learning technical SEO on the side now and refining my blog writing skills for a friend but wanted opinions of others already in the field. Main reason of trying to transition is looking for slower pace of things

I agree with the other comment, SEO i wouldn’t say is slower pace unless your looking to stay at an analyst or senior analyst level. Most upward growth in SEO is overall business/client managing

Having worked on both sides, I’d say the transition is easier the other way around. But, if slower pace is what you’re after, also be prepared for slower ROI, a LOT more cross functional work/dependencies , and a LOT more selling (internally or to a client).

I worked at a company for 2 years, promoted 3 times and up for a 4th. However, I was sexually harrassed by an upper manager and the place became a very hostile environment that I had to resign from. It's been 2 years and I have worked at several companies that were toxic and underpaid but did not know it at the time. Lost a lot of confidence in myself and am trying to get it back, did reflecting and am interested in transitioning to learning and development. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
