When is it ok to take a salary reduction? I know titles are different between companies but I’m going from a VP-title with an east cost agency to a non-VP title in the Midwest. The salary difference that it is giving me pause.

In the same position - was recently laid off and interviewing for the same position at a different agency and the cut is larger than I’d like - also in the Midwest. TBH - if offered, I think I’ll take the cut and keeping looking.

If you are more concerned about your career growth, mental health and well-being, then a salary deduction should not be a big deal. I've made the same move before. I'd say I made the right decision.

The only time I think is ok to take a salary reduction is when you are either stepping into a new field for your own interest or the long term rewards will be higher. That includes quitting a job that you are unhappy for some that you are happy.

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
