digital marketing is a such a meme career unless you own your own agency. No offense anon, but every street shitting pajeet is flooding the digital marketing scene with cheap labor and the barrier to entry isn't very high. Marketing departments are also the first to get laid off when shit goes south - but you probably already knew this.

>> No.54911568

>>54911535
yep...
Originally CS who couldn't hack at being an actual programmer, somehow stumbled into marketing and almost 5 years later and still here.

Wish I could do something else. Dream job ironically enough is to be a hipster barista but that won't pay the bills so here I am....

Either flip burgers or flip nfts. Rebase is all you need for the latter. McDonalds is automating people of your ilk nowadays so you better hurry up.

Start your own agency, anon. Build a nice website and start marketing your skills to businesses. I'm sure you've gained valuable skills over the last 5 years. You don't even need that many clients to earn a nice salary.

that's the plan down the road. There's still a lot I don't know and in this current economy its a hard sale convincing small business to join up with me when they could hire on fiver.

Realistically my expenses are super low so something like 15-20k a year means I can be comfy year round.

Fiver fucking sucks and all they'll get are shitty pajeet services. I was doing affiliate marketing for a niche product years ago and tried to use fiver for product review articles and I had to spend so much time editing them because some faggot fucking pajeet would write it in sloppy english. Every single seller I went to was a pajeet. Honestly, India just needs to be nuked.
