After working desk jobs for 20 years, I’m hoping to find a job that gives better balance between sitting in front of a computer and being out in the field. Aside from field marketing, what are some of the other options? Not really into sales role here…

Digging into your skills and interests then researching those combined with field work should help you brainstorm some ideas

You could go into B2B / Corporate Sales? In my role I got a balanced 50-50 of being in the field and having coffee meetings with corp partners/clients (not doing hard sales but collaborating with tech companies and talk about strategic partnerships where I can propose to distribute our products digitally in partner’s platform)

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.

Looking for honest opinions: would you trust career advice from someone who doesn’t necessarily have a background in career coaching but has always been “that friend” that everyone calls for career advice, resumes, salary negotiations etc?
I have a long background in management and have been very successful in climbing the ladder but I would love to start career coaching on the side. Any feedback is helpful!
