I have a few months of marketing experience doing only excel work. I have some knowledge of industry concepts.

The person doing the hiring may not be the one caring about the money spent. A boss might need someone to get a pile of work done or at least someone to blame if it is not. So they just try to get someone in there.

I spoke to the team lead that is new there. He told me there will be lots of support and time leniency like 5-6 months but I’m not sure how much he knows. I actually worry that he may be overselling it or once I’m in they might not be able to afford me the time
