It depends on the agency. Some have separate departments for account and PM, where you’re truly doing that respective work and advancing in your career on that path. Other agencies (usually smaller, but not always) are all one department and juniors start in PM and work their way up to focusing on more strategic account work.

I’d definitely say those are PM responsibilities. Have you talked to your manger about it? Are there designated PMs where you work? Or does the hierarchy seem to move from PM to account as you move up?

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
