anyone have experience with startups? did you like it? currently interviewing with a small but growing CPG brand to be their head of brand & creative. my background is in creative strategy & comms for a large CPG brand, so the autonomy is exciting - but I want to make sure it’s a move that sets me up for the next one. hiring managers, are you interested by folks that have done startup brand building?

If you are confident that you can be in the role for more than three years, absolutely go for it. But as a hiring manager if I see a short tenure on someone’s resume at a start up it would raise questions.

Why ? That's a very narrow minded approach . If it's a one of short stint / doesn't indicate bad performance

I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?
