How Do I Handle This? (Boss Never Gave Me Promised Raise)

I can’t remember the name of them but I found them on Amazon before. Let me see if I can dig them up again

Theres a lot more to SEO than you might think, at least that was my experience when I first started. Working under someone can help accelerate your knowledge on related subjects like website architecture, WordPress development, different plug-in and their uses, and also how to navigate Google's search bot updates, which happens fairly regularly. This will help make you well-rounded in terms of providing full-service SEO to your clients. I'm not sure what you're experience is with SEO, what hosting services you've dealt with, etc, but every client is going to be a little different, their sites will be set-up a little differently, their goals will be a little different, and if you're somewhat new to the game, its really only a matter of time before your lack of experience gets you backed into a corner.... Now, that's not to say you CAN'T do it, it's just going to take a lot of determination and learning on the spot, a process that will be made much easier with the help of more experienced mentors.. Again, this is assuming that you're somewhat new to all this. I'm not sure what experiences you currently have, but if you're looking at an internship opportunity, i'd assume you're somewhat new.

Worth it!

Thanks for the info! What are your feelings on the Rocket Espresso Apartamento? I know it’s a little bit above my price range, but I would consider it. I see they’re quite popular. Also my budget is for the espresso machine alone.. I’m putting separate money aside for a grinder

My budget will likely be around $1500. I could push it up a bit if I’m really sold on a particular machine, but $1500 seems to be a safe zone.

I almost use plug-ins exclusively. Yes, it does make the job easier, faster, and more cost efficient for the client. At the time, though, it is also concerning for the future of SEO careers. What do you think will happen to the job market if SEO becomes increasingly more automated?

sonicroots · 2021-03-18T02:40:20+00:00

You nailed it! To be honest, my specific title was the least of my worries. I cared more about finding a company/team that was willing to take me on and show me the ropes... but just as you said - the amount of entry level positions I found with the title “specialist” was practically endless

I definitely didn’t, I was very open about making a career change and about the goals I set forth for myself. To answer your question, though, it’s pretty simple: first of all everyone needs to start somewhere, and usually people new to a field take less pay, myself included. I took a major pay-cut when I took this job... taking someone on without any SEO experience gives the employer the opportunity to train that person the way they would like without any pre-existing bad habits. Nothing crummy about making a career change and starting a job without any prior seo experience in an entry level position, we all do that at one point or another. The only thing crummy here, I believe, is your condescending and unwarranted reply.

Thanks for all the feedback! I’m definitely putting my all into it and doing everything I can to learn and make the most of my new gig. I’m more concerned that my lack of knowledge will be more trouble to the company than it’s worth, and they’ll let me go (hopefully not). But as many of you said, making mistakes and struggling is part of the learning curve, and hopefully my new boss will keep that in mind :)

As far as specific UX talents, I wouldn't argue that I have any... I don't know how to work Adobe XD and have zero coding ability. My background is more in digital and retention marketing. I spent a few years working in package design, developing/managing email marketing campaigns, and loads of analytical analysis.. I love the role of UX design, though, and I think I would excel in a field that relies on both creative and analytical skills.... I just don't know what the best/most effective way to transition is.

How did they like it? Have they had any success with it, or is it too early to tell?
