Too bad for you, that appears to be all reward (or at least gratification), no risk.

Staying with Salesforce. I love my work, compensation and work life balance here.

Most coworkers I work with are happy and content.

I actually had my own agency a few years ago and I decided to let it go to get back to corporate. I loved the freedom but I had to come to terms with entrepreneurship not being for me

This is actually pretty deep. I wanted to do the solo thing for awhile and also decided it just wasn’t for me. I like consistency in paychecks.

Best decision I made was leaving Salesforce proserv soon after COVID; it is an insanely toxic hellhole that continued to get worse after I left, with corrupt snakes at every level of leadership (lifers, newcomers, and acquired "talent" included). My mental health has benefitted immensely, and I make more money, too.

Trusting the process. It’s not done overnight.

I asked for a promotion even though I was afraid of the rejection and I have been excelling in my career since.

Solid move! Always ask. The worst thing that could happen is nothing.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.
