I did my mba in marketing ,, and working with a bank since 7 years as a relationship manager, how can I change my domain ??

Relationship Manager

I currently work at a real estate marketplace startup and look after content, SEO, and executing facebook abd google ads. I don’t have any marketing degree yet. Whatever I’ve learnt, it’s on the job. 
I’m thinking of pursuing distance MBA, since I don’t want to leave my job. Another thought is to take up online courses by ed-tech institutions. 

Can someone guide me please?

How should I advance my career in marketing to land high paying jobs?

Growth Manager

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 :)

Hey people, 
I am trying to switch to a product marketing role (SAAS or any digital product). I would really appreciate some contructive feedback on my resume. 

My resume is of two pages, but I am sharing the first page and some. Couldn't fit the rest in the screenshots (ss).

For context: I have around 5 years of marketi ng experience. I don't have prior product marketing experience but have handled similar responsibilities in a B2B service company (seen in the ss). After the ss ends there are 2 more jobs (both advertising agencies) and then higher education (masters in strategic management, pgd in marketing, bachelors in econ, stats, maths)

Roast my Resume

Shifted near job location toh have a lot of time to upskill. 

Goals: 

1. Want to explore adjacent domains in marketing (email, performance, retention etc). I already know a fair bit about social media marketing.

2. Want to experiment with freelancing, but don't know how/where to start. 

3. I want to explore more of non-tech domains (business, ops, PM etc)

Need guidance on where I can start.

Role and Company Switch

Sales Leader

Anyone here switched from marketing to product? If so, how ow what steps are required? Also, is switch possible at senior Manager levels?

Marketing to Product

Head Of Growth

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?

Hate My Software Engineering Job

Software Engineer

I am an MBA in Marketing and currently working as a Market Researcher. I want to switch to Product Management. 
Suggest a good online course which is not too heavy on my pockets or if I should I consider something else? I’m looking to pivot from MR as the pay I’m getting is peanuts here, extra long working hours without any compensation and too slow of growth, monetarily. Help a brother out. TIA.
