July 2021
Skilling/reskilling is not moving at an apt pace in proportion to expansion in role. Hiring decisions need tightening; lack of basic skills in a performance/team manager contradicts the purpose of review and mentorship.
Marketing Communications Manager in Mumbai:
Pros: Creative aspect where you can shape brand image, understand inter and intra team workability, work with wide variety of subject matter, pushing skill boundaries
Cons: Lack of career path transparency, pay and unique skill mismatch - if a skill is hard to come by and sought after especially for marketing and sales impact, it should be adequately compensated. Creative skills are often seen as high in demand but low in value add, hence low in pay, which needs to change. Companies would rather pay large fees to agencies for mediocre work than pay in-house talent fairly for doing high quality work.
