Consume Product

I'm just a bit older than the late 20's/early 30's demographic that seems to be most represented here. But it's enough years to see a difference in terms of attitude and approach to life, regardless of whether or not the environment now is more difficult or not (especially since I too have to operate in this same environment).

I'm a late Gen X/early Gen Y depending on how you count the range and at this point I'm a VP of Marketing. And in case you think it was a smooth trip up the ladder, it took way too long for me to get here because of boomers not retiring, holding everyone below them back, but I managed to work around it only by finding a skill now needed by companies for their top level marketers that the boomers don't have (digital/performance) and it's especially satisfying to watch boomers and people of my generation getting pushed out because of the lack of these skills. Once again, those marketers of my age and older nailed the trifecta. Too lazy to learn, too stupid to get it and too arrogant to think they were irreplaceable.
