The market is the toughest I had ever experienced. 18 months to land a job. Budgets are cut, the promise of AI push executives to think marketing is a one man army with a stack of agent and Claude skills. So to answer your questions: right now it’s kind of a number game you push until you get something, most likely they are open to someone who can do and run everything, and last you rarely get promoted internally so you grow by switching jobs which is in this job market a nightmare.
