I've had some friends go to Nike. Despite the negative press recently they love/loved it. One of my friends was a women's wear brand manger. Good travel opportunities and always seemed to be at cool sporting events (e.g. Stanley Cup, Knicks, Lakers).

It sounds like you’re pretty excited about the role and the company themselves. The pay sounds pretty good to me, how much experience do you have and how much are you currently making? I think though since the pay is solid, if you’re legitimately excited about the role and the company, you should go for it! Congrats!

Besides $$$, two things make me want to take this offer: 1. They commit to have 50% women in the LEADERSHIP 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️ 2. Their strong growth in Asia, where I can see myself live in and take a higher level role later on.

Haven’t signed the offer yet. Any advice is appreciated! 🐠💪🐠💪

Thank you all! I have 7 years of work experience and MBA; mainly focus on CPG and TMT clients for analytics and strategy projects in the US and also internationally.

My firm’s path is analyst - sr analyst - consultant - senior consultant, so I do have experience managing analysts. 30% of interview questions are related to people management, so trying to gain some experience managing or mentoring junior staff when you can, if you are looking to take the jump for a director role on the client side.

Lastly, although it’s not required, speaking foreign languages also helps if you want to work in a global team :)

Best of luck in your search 🐠🐠🐠

LVMH is pretty cool- how’s the pay?

like

Marketing > Corporate Strategy. Obviously depends on the company and role, but generally, corporate strategy doesn’t give you P&L responsibility. Marketing doesn’t always either, but I’ve heard it can get you closer.

Thoughts above may be controversial but just my 2c! Excited for you and the company though! Ask if you can talk to some folks on the team and at the company before you accept?
