Strategy, design, UX or UI

Strategy aside those are all very “at risk” disciplines from an automation standpoint.

New business. Always learn first how a company makes money, and make that money. Quality of life is not great when you’re young, but you’re learning from the best your agency has to offer while crafting vision for the future. It pays off.

What do you think about producer track?

If I had to do it all again, I’d be a producer.

I agree with VP1 on the account title/ money. But as an account person, I really enjoy production too so it depends on your preference and pain tolerance. Do you want to liaise btw client/ agency or agency/ vendor?

HR.

Accounts.

Better careers development. More opportunity to grow. You make more money in the long term. Exposure to all part of the business. When senior you can move client side easily at a high level. If you’re good, you can become a savvy marketer.

It depends on what you enjoy doing, there is overlap between skill sets with certain jobs but agency life is stressful and you should choose something that you’ll get some enjoyment from

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS.

Hi what is the maximum salary that can be provided in Verizon for the role 'Senior Engineer Consultant-QA Test Automation' ?

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
