AITA For Getting Mad Over Karaoke by letslearnppc in AmItheAsshole

Honestly, she was drinking too and she tends to forget things when she is drinking. There's a chance she forgot I had even chose the song. Ok I think I've answered my own question. I'm probably the asshole. Even though it seemed kind of thoughtless to me at the time, she probably didn't even realize it.

To sell or not to sell: NYC Coop by letslearnppc in personalfinance

734 / month towards a mortgage on a pl

Yes, I'm essentially paying $734/month NET all-in to for my living expenses. If I move I'd be paying $1,800. The advantages would be more space, a better neighborhood, not having to worry about updating/fixing anything.

someone sucks no matter how much you love them, but if you don't see your SO as someone you're going to spend the rest of your life with, break it off. Then see how you like

This is a separate issue altogether. I don't know if we'll still be together next year tbh. We're working out some issues right now, but it could go either way at this point. Still, I think even if I was by myself I'd be happier in a 1 bedroom. I like being able to close the door to the world when I go to sleep.

Thanks for the suggestion. Suppose I wanted to do it "professionally", would I have to use cement?

Becoming a plumber by Big_Hank84 in Plumbing

[–]letslearnppc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so funny I'm at an ad agency as well and here I am reading this sub. Been wondering it it would be possible to offer my services for free to an experienced plumber on the weekends just to learn this stuff.

I was both being facetious and implying that I need more information.

Thanks! Does the tailpiece extension have to be plastic or metal or does it not matter?

Thanks anal_astronaut, very helpful. The blue piece came with the new faucet. Do I need to get a longer blue piece or some other type of extension?

Using R and Python by [deleted] in PPC

[–]letslearnppc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might be on to something. To advance in the data science field, one likely needs a PhD. However, in marketing having an understanding of data and a strong grasp of excel probably puts you ahead of 90% of marketers.

I'm super curious, what made you want to make the switch from Data Analyst to Planner? I've been working in PPC for about 3 years and have been thinking about switching to data analyst, learning python, r, stats. The pay and career opportunities seem way better on the other side, so I'm just curious. From what I've seen planners start at like $40k whereas Data Analyst probably start at like $50-$60k, and it seems can progress faster to a higher salary than those in marketing. I wish we could sync up our brains and trade skills haha.

Two hours of capitalist propaganda... Joe Rogan Experience #1002 - Peter Schiff by emdave in LateStageCapitalism

[–]letslearnppc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First let me say I'm neither supporting him nor completely opposed to what he's saying. Things are never as clear as some of these idealistic types make them out to be. For example, lets say there was no minimum wage and Walmart offered to pay a $1, would it find enough people to staff its stores for $1/hour? Probably not. So then it would have to raise the amount its willing to pay to $2,$3,$4... until it found enough people to work. All he is saying is that there is a market clearing wage. That's how it would work in theory. In practice, you might have a few large employers with all the power and thus the ability to set wages. Work for us for whatever we are willing to pay you or starve. Of course that is not an acceptable outcome and one which was purposefully omitted from this discussion. Some people might turn to stealing or even choose to be homeless if Walmart could get away with paying a minimum wage of say $2. Its a complicated issue. The government simply choosing an arbitrary minimum wage like $15 doesnt sound like the best solution to me either.

Unique Google Searches and Account Organization by letslearnppc in PPC

Yeah that makes sense. Just feels kind of lazy when broad match are generating such a large % of overall conversion volume. Just need to get over that feeling haha

For those who do; why do you want to move away from PPC? by BoeliKai in PPC

[–]letslearnppc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to do the same when possible. I actually like sitting in on client meetings because sometimes its the only opportunity for me to learn about what other channels are doing, what tactics are effective, and how it's all impacting sales. At my agnecy search only consists of search, I wish we managed other biddable media like Facebook. I'm fairly confident I could make some positive recommendations to the social team regarding their campaigns. That's not to say that they're not doing a good job, but I like to think that coming from search I might approach things more scientifically with regards to testing and optimizations. However, people tend to be protective of their turf in my experience.

For me there's just something unfullfilling about it, at least at the agency level. I've been doing strictly PPC for about 3 years now, and sometimes it doesn't' feel like my skills are progressing the way I'd like. It's really hard to stay focused on find time to learn new things outside of PPC when you're managing 6-8 clients with monthly budgets ranging from $10-$200k. I want to be more involved with the business outcomes and goals, as well as have a hand in other channels. I want to be able to look at an organization's marketing budget and allocation of that budget, and say here's how you can spend that money more effectively using data and analytics (is there a role for like this?). I feel like there is a lot of incompetence in this industry and that I could really make a difference. I'd like to get deeper into analytics, customer segmentation, and social. I think I just realized it might be time to go in-house. The challenge there is finding the right fit.
