Heya everyone

So last night I was burning the midnight oil, staring at conversion rates in BeMob, tweaking tracking tokens, trying to squeeze every drop of insight out of our affiliate campaigns. My eyes were half-closed, caffeine buzz fading fast, and everything felt like it was slipping especially my ability to remember what UTM stands for. (Spoiler: it’s Urchin Tracking Module, but I blanked.)

In that delirious, data-driven haze, I suddenly thought: what if I just quit this and became a nurse? I even googled yep, legit “how to become a nurse in the UK” while eyeballing click-through rates. Totally random, but also kinda… grounding?

Turns out it’s a solid, structured path: a three-year nursing degree, clinical placements, A-levels in sciences, and hands-on hours in real hospitals. No campaign dashboards, no cookie attributions just real people needing help. The contrast hit me hard.

Because yeah, messing with SaaS tracking and affiliate performance is rewarding. Watching CTR climb feel-good, those “aha!” moments reading the logs, optimizing a campaign for peak ROI? Feels like progress. But it's abstract, analytical users aren’t live data, they’re numbers, yes, but they’re also humans clicking late at night on your link.

Nursing though? That’s direct impact. Face-to-face care. Immediate feedback. You’re not waiting for a daily report you see it in someone’s eyes, or when they whisper “thank you.” Suddenly, all those spreadsheets and sheets feel a bit… distant.

Not saying I’m hopping over to shifts in A&E (though tbh, the idea has its charm). I love this work BeMob's dashboard is my jam, optimization is my art. But that tiny moment reminded me: different paths make different kinds of impact. And it’s okay to daydream about either one.

So yeah, if you’re elbow-deep in tracking pixels and tagging ref params, and you find yourself googling nursing routes at 3 AM... you’re not alone. Sometimes the toughest KPI isn’t conversion rate it’s knowing why you even launched the campaign in the first place.

Catch y’all in the next thread or campaign review.
