Marketing and Advertising careers?
Hi everyone, I figured this would be a good place to ask about Marketing Careers in Canada (well, more specifically Vancouver but Toronto is okay too).
Some background: I was born and raised in Vancouver - and I'm currently working in a top tier city in Asia with just over 4 years of working experience. Most of my experience is working at advertising agencies for large clients (think global airlines, beauty brands etc). I specialize in Social Media and Content Marketing - I can do everything social media related including media buying - this doesn't include SEO/SEM etc. I have one year of working experience in Vancouver. I'm at the Manager level.
So I have some questions and would be grateful if anyone could shed some light on these topics
- Does the "Canadian Experience" thing really exist? I believe my resume looks pretty good at the moment but the only thing holding it back could possibly be the years I spent in Asia..
- What are the salary ranges for someone of my level and specialty? And is it reasonable to expect 70-80K CAD annually?
- Anything else I need to be aware of that might expedite the job hunting process if I really were to move back?
Oh, and I don't mind if the roles are at an agency or in-house - as long as I have a job
