Should you stay… or should you go? 😅

With the job market doing the absolute most, marketers are stuck in the same loop: tolerate the chaos, or risk jumping into something worse.

In this episode, Emma and Ruta are joined by Ana Rogerson — B2B marketer turned career coach and mentor — to unpack the real decision framework behind leaving a role, staying put, or going freelance. No “just manifest it” nonsense. Just practical advice for marketers who are tired.

Marketing confession of the episode:
Ana accidentally sent an email attachment that she very much wishes she hadn’t. The kind of mistake that ages you three years in 24 hours.

We get into:
✅ The simplest test: am I learning and am I still smiling?
✅ Why rushing into the next job is the fastest way to repeat the same nightmare
✅ How to research company culture properly: employees, ex-employees, and what to look for
✅ Why “quiet quitting” is a terrible strategy when you’re job hunting
✅ The hidden career game: performance keeps you employed, but image and exposure get you promoted
✅ Freelance and fractional reality: it’s not instant freedom, it’s sales, resilience, and cashflow swings
✅ Practical stay strategies: boundaries, communication, reporting rhythm, and meeting leaders where they are
✅ Protect your peace: coping routines so work doesn’t eat your evenings and relationships
✅ Why having a work bestie is not optional — it’s survival

If you’re sitting at your laptop thinking “I can’t do this anymore” — this episode will help you slow down, get clear, and make the next move a smart one.
