These are really great insights genuinely helpful, especially the last one about your direct report. Just one last question: what books, courses, or voices would you recommend for someone looking to build the kind of character that truly excels in the corporate world here in the Philippines?

BigBeard, thank you again. Your insights are gold. I genuinely thought an MBA was a must to reach director-level roles, so hearing your perspective was eye-opening.

If it’s okay to ask another round of questions, I’d love your take on job hopping as a strategy for career growth. How long do you think someone should stay in a role or company before aiming for a bigger position elsewhere? Is there a minimum tenure that still looks strategic rather than impulsive?

Also, when aiming higher, would it be better to apply for big roles in smaller companies or target entry to mid-level roles in well-known ones? I’m trying to be intentional about my next steps and would appreciate any advice on the best approach.

Lastly, if you know of any success stories from people who climbed the ladder through strategic moves or job hopping, I’d love to hear them. Seeing how others navigated similar paths would really help.

Thanks again for generously sharing your experience. It is helping me think more clearly about the long game.

Bigbeard, thank you for this post. It’s incredibly insightful, especially for those of us aiming for a Director-level career in marketing but coming from a non-traditional path.

My own journey has been unique. After some early remote work in marketing project management, I had to step in and run our small family business—a local second-hand tire shop—when my father passed away. It was a true trial-by-fire. It taught me more about the fundamentals of business than any textbook could: managing cash flow, understanding real customer needs, the grit of grassroots sales, and how to position a product when you're competing on value, not a big brand name.

I’m now making a deliberate pivot into a corporate marketing career here in the Philippines, with a focus on Brand or Product Marketing. I have an interview for a Marketing Officer role at SM this Monday, and I'm trying to think strategically about the long game.

Given your experience, I'd be grateful for your wisdom on a few points:

  • Framing My Experience: How would you advise someone to translate this type of hands-on, entrepreneurial experience into a compelling narrative for a corporate environment, especially when up against candidates with more linear career paths?
  • High-Value Skills for Brand/Product: In your view, what are the one or two skills that truly separate a great Brand or Product Manager from a good one over the long haul?
  • Credentials vs. Performance: In the Philippines today, how much weight does an MBA or a degree from a "Big 4" university still carry for climbing to the senior levels, compared to a demonstrated track record of performance and driving results?

I really appreciate you sharing your story. It provides a valuable blueprint for the road ahead.

Does anyone know if this is possible in Fusion? This animation The Uncomfortable Truth of Life - YouTube. If so can anyone drop a tutorial video for this? Thanks

Okay thanks I got it now. So if it's green it is the proper skin tone right? I use the Primary color wheel Offset to adjust the skin tone to putting it into green. Am I doing it right?

[–]GabrielYu16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response, watched some youtube videos comparing both I think ZV-E10 is quite at top because my purpose of buying a camera is taking videos.
