About marketing roles
Marketing roles split between brand/storytelling, growth (paid acquisition, analytics), and content/SEO (organic). The biggest signal of quality on a JD: does the company measure marketing as a cost center or a growth engine? You want the latter.
Typical skills: Copywriting, analytics (GA4, Mixpanel), one or more channels (paid social, SEO, email), reporting
Gear that helps in this role
Common marketing desk gear:
Affiliate links — small commission to us at no extra cost to you.
Salary insights (US, rough)
Typical range for marketing roles in the US is $50,000–$175,000/year, varying widely with seniority, company stage, and city.
Estimates only. For company-specific numbers, check levels.fyi (tech), Glassdoor, or ask in the interview.
How to prep for the interview
Marketing interviews vary widely by sub-discipline. For growth: expect funnel analysis ("our paid CAC is up 30% — what do you do?"), channel-mix questions, and metric definitions. For brand / content: expect writing samples or a live writing exercise, plus a "tell me about a campaign that worked or failed" round. For SEO: expect technical questions on crawling, indexing, and on-page optimization.
Universal: be ready to discuss attribution honestly. Marketers who claim every win is theirs (or refuse to look at numbers) signal they'll be a problem to work with. Show that you understand attribution is messy, and have a point of view on it.
Where this role typically leads
Marketing paths split by sub-discipline. Growth: Marketing Analyst → Growth PM / Marketer → Head of Growth → CMO. Brand / content: Content Marketer → Content Lead → Director of Brand → CMO. SEO: SEO Specialist → SEO Manager → Head of Organic. Senior roles ($175k+) usually require either deep specialization or general-management range.
Cross-discipline moves are valuable: a growth marketer who learns content storytelling, or a brand person who learns analytics, becomes much harder to replace. Avoid getting pigeonholed into a single channel for 5+ years — channel-specific skills decay fastest as platforms change.
Red flags to watch for
- "Generate viral content" as a goal. Virality isn't a strategy. Real marketing roles have specific funnel metrics (CAC, MQL volume, ARR contribution).
- No mention of analytics tools. Marketing without measurement is just spending money in the dark.
- "Wear many hats" with a base of $50k. Means one person doing the work of three for the salary of one. Healthy startups specialize as they grow; chaotic ones never do.
- Founder lists marketing as their "passion project". You'll be second-guessed on every decision.
