UK agencies tend to use the IPA Bellwether report as an indicator. The recent one suggests growth in marketing budgets for 2025 but I assume it will be revised at end of Q1…in the next few weeks.

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist.

I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?
