I am in commercial marketing/ strategy, have MBA and did a stent in field sales. Happy to chat but that transition is rarely seen at least on the field rep level. You would also take a significant decrease on pay. Longer path is you want to be commercial leader/GM would be corporate/regional strategy > commercial ops/analytics > regional sales leader > VP/GM

Having a bit of an existential crisis - but fishbowl hasn’t steered me wrong so far.

I’ve got an offer to study a masters in international affairs (focus in economics) at Columbia SIPA (no financial aid package) or I could stay in management consulting (5-6 ywe) at Oliver Wyman.

I enjoy consulting but it wasn’t what I see myself doing long term. Longer term I saw myself either being an economist or working in the world bank.

Interested in the perspectives of folks in this bowl. Thanks guys

How tough is it to break into a FAANG PM role at mid-level if you have less prestigious experience?
