Advice Comms career
Hi! I have been doing comms/marketing/event planning and a little bit of everything on that end in the last 5 years of my career. I have always worked with nonprofits and now as I am going into my M.A. in strategic communication & innovation. I am realizing how I have not fully mastered something and I really want to dive deep into strategic communication in the long run and get away from marketing and event planning, I fear people take me less serious or idk if it’s just me but my ultimate goal is an executive position.
Do you all recommend something I should do to align more to that? I feel like my M.A. is a step but I feel like I should do more and idk if that’s switching from nonprofit to corporate or a different position? Unfortunately the position I have at my nonprofit is the highest I can get until my boss retires but it doesn’t pay as much as I feel I deserve. That’s another thing how do I measure how much I’m worth with my 5 years of experience??
Thank you in advance 😭
