Maybe off topic. I’m in marketing and earn £33k, with insane benefits. However… I’m starting to realise corporate life just isn’t for me and I’m craving a more simplified life! Anyone have any advice?
Not sure I can offer a huge amount of advice but what do you do in marketing? I recently changed careers and am now a bid writer for a construction company. In a lot of ways I much prefer it to my old job, I love writing and this career path allows me to do that whilst actually making decent money (30k rising to 35 after probation, then after a year's experience I can make 50k+). It's not too stressful so far and I'm finding it quite easy so I would recommend it.
Having said that, I am also struggling with the corporate life.
Why are people so mean? I hate being in my pod in a big office with
witchy, fake people, and I hate meetings and dressing up everyday, and I hate people watching what I'm doing 24/7.
Honestly though, my main goal has always been to be self-sufficient and my partner and I are libertarians at heart lol. So I'm literally trying to do the highest paid job I can that doesn't make me wanna kms, buying property, and then dipping/working part time and from home. I feel like people at work can tell I'm an impostor sometimes
Is there any way you could do marketing but work from home? Or get to the point where you're highly paid enough that you could just do part time? Unless you wanna change careers completely
