I've been on the team for years and Im worried that I wasted all my time building my career at usaa which is not preparing me for whats next.
Like, i've learned how to work at usaa and within the organization. But my big fear is that marketing has moved so fast that my expertise won't translate outside anymore.
I was in a couple of outside interviews and it feels so different than it did 5 years ago. Im looking online and AI has made marketing so fast i just feel stuck. Like I am paralyzed at the speed and I need to grow but I can't grow where I am at. I feel like we give usaa everything and in return, we stay the same while the market moves.
Part of me knows i need to keep learning and adapting and building skills outside of usaa. But how? Usaa demands so much and even if i go to a conference or take a course, its not the same as knowing how to do it and having actually done it.
For the first time, i feel like my career security is the worst its ever been. Lots of people i worked with had taken job title cuts from director and lead to sr and below.
Im just venting and afraid that I trapped myself by staying at usaa.
