Yes, me - I made the move from supply chain management from industry a year ago (not consulting). You can DM me if you want

I went Deloitte-ERP, ultimately to supply chain ops, to M&A, to strategy, and then to product

Yes because a lot of strategy sounds nice in a conference room to people who don’t understand how their business actually makes or distributes things. Being able to develop executable strategies was important.

On transactions it’s similar especially when in diligence and building out transaction services agreements.

I had done acquisition and divestiture work in industry so once I was staffed there as a need, I went on a few deals and got pulled in on that clients strategy work.

For the move to Strategy Supply Chain has an easy path through S&OP.

Supply Chain at Accenture > MBA > Strategy at Accenture

How did you sell yourself to get that move? Did you find your supply chain background helped you in strat, if so then how?

Supply chain, s&op to corporate strategy

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great!

Every single suggestion I've made has been shut down and I've been ghosted for several meetings with the CEO. What should I do? Just leave?
