Recruiting?

Have heard it’s tight there too but could do educational/university, inhouse, agency, executive, production houses etc. maybe remote work is possible.

Two former group creative directors I worked for, who won a lot of awards, are driving for Uber and working at Home Depot, respectively. My guess is they are in their late 40s?

love to hear that

Omg me too

I am Product Owner, and have an opportunity to change my Title to "Product Manager". The actual work I'm doing will not change significantly, it's just a Title change, since I've been working less and less with the scrum teams and doing more product analysis over the last year. My main goal with this is to ensure this looks good on my CV. My thought is a Product Manager role seems more senior to a product owner. Any thoughts on this and any advice on how to approach this? I'm based in London.
