Brand Manager Role

Hey there,

I've 5 years of experience working as a content strategist in Advertising Agencies. I've worked on multiple marketing campaigns for 25+ brands. However, I now want to transition to a full time marketing role with a blend of analytics and creativity without opting for an MBA. 
Here are some of the skills I plan on getting certifications in to land a role:
SQL, 
Tableau, 
Excel (pivot tables, charts, v lookups),
Marketing Strategy 
Project Management 
Media Planning 
I already have a strong background in copywriting, design, managing cross-functional teams and stakeholders. 

Do you have any tips or advice that can help me in this journey? 
Do you recommend any courses or certifications I should undertake to highlight the above mentioned skills? 

How do I pitch myself as the perfect candidate without having an actual job experience in marketing management roles? 

Thanks for your time :)

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hello all,
I'm a software engineer at one of the service based companies and I graduated last yr.

 Though I always knew software engineering isn't for me, I still gave it a try hoping my perspective would change when I enter the industry. Bummer! I hate it even more

What I have realised is I don't like to code or spend all day finding a solution to an error. Not to say I don't like problem solving but I simply don't like the problem solving that is required for a great software engineer.

I have been a content writer in the past and enjoyed it. I also helped a small digital marketing agency launch a campaign for a product. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of coming up with ideas that suit the tone of the brand, writing copies and much more.

I'm thinking of switching to a marketing role or anything that aligns with what I have mentioned above.  

My question to you are:

1) Is it even possible to switch without an MBA?
2) If so, What should be my approach to applying to jobs? (Kindly tell me the specific and not just -' Make a stellar resume and apply ' kind of a vague answer)
3) What other roles can I look into?

Advice

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hello everyone,

I recently joined a service-based company as a fresher and was assigned a domain. Despite my efforts to learn and adapt, I have found that this domain does not align with my interests. My true passion lies in becoming a Web3 developer or a full-stack developer.

I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to effectively upskill myself from a project perspective in these areas. Additionally, I am seeking guidance on how to apply for positions that align with my interests, so that I can eventually work in a field I am passionate about, with relevant experience.

Thank you for your support and suggestions.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I am a graduate from a tier-1 engineering college and will be starting out with a job in a few months at a financial services MnC in an analyst role. I am looking to build some income streams apart from my salary over the next few years and wanted to gain some freelancing skills to build an online business but am confused about where and how to start. I've seen people working on software projects and stuff like digital marketing but can't really picture myself in similar roles. I'm not a techie, my interest lies mainly in finance and business but I'm fine with exploring and venturing into something new as well. Would be great if someone who has done it in the past can please guide as to what can be some promising skills to gain and how to go about it.

How to go about building additional income streams?

Business analyst

Doston, I'm a 26 year old, run-of-the-mill MBA grad who has just been coasting through life until a very recent and intense encounter with the perils of modern life. 

Background brief: 
Academics : 8/5/8; MBA from NMIMS Mumbai
~2yrs of work ex in sales; have worked in financial sales, currently working in non-alco bev sales
  
I have very few hard skills and am not sure where to start. Still, I'm seduced by other lucrative jobs/profiles such as finance, PM, consulting, which feel inaccessible at this point. I've accepted that there's nothing I can do to change the past, but I'm seeking guidance on how to shape my career from this point forward. Looking forward to any advice about jobs, career planning, and even life. Thank you!

something you would be able to use to earn a living without a formal job as well, maybe by starting something of your own

for me it's my ability to seamlessly work with tech, product and business teams

What are you really good/skilled at ?

Senior software engineer

About me: I have an MBA from tier three college, have been working as a Social Media Executive and a Copywriter for the last three years.  I am making 9.85 LPA now but doing more or less the same work. I am also responsible for two aged parents. How do I channel my career from here?

How to avoid stagnation as Social Media Executive?

Social media manager

What should I am for?
- A well named startup or company at slightly lower pay?

- A high payed salary from the startup or a company that no one ever heared of...

Example:
Currently I am making 12 LPA as a marketer.
But I am worried about my future as I am finding it tougher to get hired for salary anything above than this. 

How about working at a fancy startup? (meesho, sugar, CRED, etc.) at a lower pay like 10 LPA - will it secure my future? As people prefer to hire ex-employee from these fancy startups. 

Or should I be searching for a 15 LPA or 20 LPA job but from a company or startup that no one ever heard about, adding no value to my CV while working there

What should I choose?

Lead social, brand, perf, SEO, partnerships, community, growth, pretty much everything across zero to fairly high budgets. Happy to help.

Could someone pls guide if I should do this project management course and is it possible to get a job from doing a course, is it possible to move from pre-sales to project manager? What should be the process or any other course suggestions? 

Also, pls suggest if PMI is good or should I opt for some other institute to do this course.

Growth Manager

After completing engineering I got a full time job opportunity in a logistic company as a business analyst. At the start everything was good but slowly I was pushed in the non technical department. Right now my majority of work consists of people's management. There is no technical aspect left in my job role and neither am I learning anything. After spending 02 years in the company I learned nothing. After realising my mistake I started learning SQL and then I've planned to learn Tableau as I have an inclination towards Data Analytics but due to my toxic job I can't focus on things. Also I can't leave the current job as I am having the responsibilities of my family.
Seeing my friends succeeding in their job really makes me anxious. 
Also I can't apply for jobs in service based companies like TCS, Wipro, Accenture etc. as I'm having 4 years educational gap after class 10 due to financial issues. My father lost his job so I was  helping my father who was working in a local groceries shop during that time.
