I feel like folks that land those roles either come from bschool or consulting. Eg ex McKinsey or BCG folks

I’ve worked at multiple small to medium sized tech companies and found the exact same thing MM1 is saying. Brand/marketing strategy isn’t its own thing, it tends to just be part of the job. The creative or brand team usually handles brand strategy, and various marketing roles handle marketing strategy. Can’t say if that’s the same at larger tech companies though.

Best to have tech experience. At least that’s what I’ve consistently heard for the past two years interviewing. I’ve gotten interviews but don’t proceed forward because I only have a small portion of tech experience.

Hi Folks, I'm currently in search of a mentor. I'm a 28y/o MSc grad and starting a Junior Funding Consultant role (writing grant applications for startups) as I'm tired of holding out for an entry level role in ESG/Sustainability - I keep getting rejections despite completing a very wide ranging internship at a renewable energy company. Last year I received an offer at Deloitte Belgium but due to Brexit & VISA delays, we couldn't continue. Now I'm unsure of my career progression & need guidance.

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
