Would moving from an agency job to an account manager role with one of the platforms (Twitter/Facebook/Pinterest) be shooting my career in the foot? Currently on year 6 of strategy...

If you did, the agency teams you worked with would probably worship you. Lack of agency experience is a huge problem with a lot of platforms right now, at least in my experience.

I recently got an offer from Amazon for sde new grad and I’m thinking if I should join or not as I have heard a lot about toxic work culture.

Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Hi everyone, I have a quick question that’s kind of silly. I work at a pretty small company leading marketing. My title is technically Marketing Lead but I want to put Head of Marketing on my LinkedIn etc. I think of these titles as totally interchangeable—I just like the way the second one reads better. I know titles don’t really matter, but I’m battling a little bit of imposter syndrome.
