Hi! This is my dominant hand. I'd love a full reading : career, love, marriage, personality, health, money, future... basically anything you can tell from my palm.

I've been doing an influencer marketing internship at a startup for about a month now, and honestly it's made me question whether marketing is really for me.

I knew marketing involved targets, but I didn't expect it to feel this performance-driven. Some days it feels more like chasing numbers than actually doing marketing, and it can get pretty overwhelming.

Part of me still finds marketing interesting, but another part wonders if I'd be happier in a more stable role, like operations or something that's less target-heavy.

For those who've been in marketing for a while, did you ever feel this way when you started? Was it just the company, or is this pretty much what marketing is like everywhere?

Pls need answers !!

I'm about a month into a 4-month influencer marketing internship at a small startup, and honestly I'm starting to question whether this is actually influencer marketing.

The expectation is to lock 2–3 good creators every single day, but the budget is usually under ₹5k. Along with that, we're expected to get the best clips from creators, make sure the content performs, and somehow hit comment targets too. For them, 3k comments feels like the minimum benchmark, while they expect 10k+ on some reels.

The most I've personally managed on a reel is around 650 comments, so now it just feels like constant pressure.

As an intern, I'm still learning. I'm not an expert at getting creators to deliver perfect content, and honestly it feels more like a target-based sales role than marketing. Even people around me said the same thing when I explained it.

So I genuinely wanted to ask people working in influencer marketing:

• Is this actually how influencer marketing jobs work?
• Are creator targets and comment numbers this aggressive everywhere?
• Or am I just in a very target-driven company?

Lately it's also been affecting my confidence because I keep thinking, "What if they remove me from the internship?"

Would genuinely appreciate some honest opinions from people already working in this field.

I've been doing an Influencer Marketing internship for almost a month now (4-month internship overall), and I'm curious about what actually makes a reel perform well.

​

For those working in influencer marketing, creator management, or social media, what are the biggest things you look for when selecting creators or content ideas?

​

What usually helps a reel get strong reach, engagement, or even go viral?

And as someone still learning, what's one thing you wish you knew when you started in influencer marketing?

​

Would love to hear some real insights instead of the usual generic advice

I recently completed my BBA and I'm currently doing an Influencer Marketing internship to get some experience and hopefully figure things out.

​

The problem is... I still don't know what I actually want to do long term

​

Everyone around me keeps talking about MBA, but I don't want to do an MBA just for the sake of doing one.

​

Lately I've been reading about law, corporate law, and a few other career paths, and now I'm wondering if I should explore something completely different or stick to marketing.

For people who have already been through this phase, what did you do after BBA? Did you go for MBA, law, certifications, a job, or switch fields entirely?

​

Just trying to figure out what options are actually worth considering before I blindly commit to something
