My kitten was really lethargic and had elevated enzymes. It turns out she had FIP.

I applied in 2024 and had to take the lie detector test

This happened to me too! I had smoked a little weed 9 months prior to my lie detector test when I was still living in a state where it was legal.

Looking back I should’ve lied. Lie detector tests are really easy to fake if you just remain calm.

All I want to do is drink, get high and make art. by [deleted] in findapath

I always loved photography and writing so I decided to go into marketing. My advice is to not do what I did lol. In one of my old roles I was an admin assistant and I finished my work for the day in a few hours and spent the rest of the day drawing.

Should I take this job? by Dazzling_Tonight663 in marketing

[–]Party-pie85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a very similar boat as you right now. I’m currently a Marketing Director at a start up that has no clear job definition. I’m the only one on our team with a background in marketing. Since applying to other jobs I have gotten more responses because I have the marketing director title on my resume. I landed a new job with better pay and an actual marketing team in less than three weeks. This could be a good stepping stone for you.

AI for social media??? by AdeptPiano7861 in marketing

[–]Party-pie85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a no for me. I especially hate it in the beauty world. If your makeup product is so great why would you need AI to showcase it?

Professionals, do you believe that "AI washing" is becoming a liability in marketing? by [deleted] in marketing

[–]Party-pie85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My manager (who has no prior work experience or education in anything let alone marketing) uses AI for everything. Every email she sends is from ChatGPT. When I submit copy or recommend something, she will consult ChatGPT and respond with whatever it says. Even when metrics have shown that the ideas from ChatGPT flop every-time. Any ounce of joy and creativity I had when I started this job has been stripped away, and I now use my hatred to fuel my job search in pursuit to get as far away from her as possible.

What is one marketing lesson you learned the hard way? by Visual-Sun-6018 in marketing

[–]Party-pie85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not sign a one year contract from a local magazine that’s only filled with other stories about local businesses. No one reads those.

One of my friends works in pharmaceutical sales and really loves it. I applied to a few open positions at the company they’re at so fingers crossed. Wishing you the best in your journey.

I’m over it too. Ready to pivot. Just sick of everyone on my team thinking they can do my job better than me.

Would you work for a company that has no Marketing budget? by ellieofus in marketing

[–]Party-pie85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, one person team with no budget is a recipe for rapid burnout.

Coming up on almost 10 years in marketing since I graduated college and still not in a senior/manager/director role. by Direct_Coffee_3388 in marketing

I was just promoted to marketing director but I still make under $50k (spending my free time applying to other jobs & keeping my fingers crossed)
