What's the difference in roles between a community manager, PR manager, and marketing manager?

PR focuses more on maintaining relationships. The marketing manager on the other hand works to promote the company, brand, services or products.

Community managers focus on engaging with the people who are grouped together either through social media or other means. Their main obligation is to get engagement and interaction while upholding the community standards. A PR manager is responsible for coordinating all public relations activities. Marketing managers are responsible for organizing and managing marketing campaigns to raise awareness of and generate demand for products and services.

The role of a community manager is much broader than the two other roles. Are you planning to transition or switch roles?

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

Almost 32 years old and feeling stuck. Been in advertising at creative agencies my entire career and wanting to make the pivot to client side marketing but am feeling very under skilled in certain aspects - project management, account management, digital marketing/CRM, data science. Seriously considering going for an MBA to fill those gaps and open doors. Anyone do something similar? Good idea or unnecessary? Am I too old?
