In last 3 years I made a huge difference in the business that I was working at. We grew about 8x in this time and marketing which I lead was responsible for 50% of that growth. My title is „Marketing Manager”.
Aside from that I led about 20 marketing projects for our clients.
I was working really hard and everyone said that this would give me a „great future”. Yet here I am.
I’m underpaid at my current and decided to switch jobs.
It’s my 3rd month looking for a new job in marketing.
After 30 applications and 10 interviews later I got feedback that…
I don’t have international experience.
I have too little experience to become a manager.
My last company was too small and they wouldn’t trust me with higher budget.
I have too much experience in management to be specialist (overqualified).
They decided to take someone with industry experience.
They decided to go for another candidate.
Etc.
Nobody gives a shit about the growth that I achieved at my last company. Truly nobody cares.
Nobody cares how much I took on my plate. Nobody cares how hard I worked.
Fuck I’m salty.
