I mean it depends on the type of company, if it’s B2B with a big salesforce then often times biz ops = sale strategy.

I’ve done both. Sales Strategy is more impactful. But neither will close off any doors

Following - these are the 2 I want to pivot to... biz ops is more "prestigious" but I think sales strategy is interesting work as well.

Sales will likely be more focused vs bizops but you can make an impact and should be able to see a direct correlation with your recommendations in either.

Full disclosure - my experience involved sales strategy for a startup, so that proximity to impact may be more diluted at a larger company.

At which company?

Oversimplifying here, but sales strategy is sometimes basically bizops, but for the sales department. If you want greater variety, pick bizops.

Our biz ops team has a lot of intersecting work with sales strategy, ends up working on similar things

Should I continue to live at my parents house in the Midwest as things start to open back up or move back to my assigned office city on the east coast? I’ve been saving a lot of money, but I don’t have any friends out here in suburbia. I’m only 25, no student loans, and kind of want to live the city life and make some friends, but I’m hesitant because this high savings rate is really nice and my project at work would be remote even without covid, so I don’t HAVE to move out anytime soon
