I was from advertisement field (4 years) working as a visualizer, copywriter and designer. I decided to upgrade my skills by taking courses in digital marketing and website designing from INA. After completing the courses I joined INT with the hope for a better career growth. Expected they would give me exposure to 360 degree digital marketing.

After one and a half years I found out that I have been used as a designer, copywriter, visualizer in the field of social media marketing with no exposure to the technical part, advertisements, SEO or PPC. I was in social media marketing domain. Domain changing was not possible. Hence I got no chance to work my hands upon SEO and PPC.

My salary was initially 8K in hand which was 4K less than what I used to get while working as a visualizer, copywriter, designer in the advertising field. I felt duped, dejected. I felt I was wasting my time doing something 24x7 which is actually not upgrading my skills. Merely knowing the theoretical stuff never gives you confidence. I left three years back with a broken heart and health. I had faced difficulty in getting a job in digital marketing field since then.

Some may say its my fault. But I would rather say I made a mistake in choosing the company to start my new career. I hope they have changed their policy regarding restricting a candidate to a particular domain of work. People should not suffer like me.
