Can anyone here shed light on switching from advertising (creative) into a marketing type role? Would it be as easy as just applying to a marketing shop rather than ad agency or what?

My background is Art but I’m considering a marketing MBA

As long as you show strategic thinking you can do anything. I went from being a copywriter to strategy to marketing.

People like hybrids. It’s all about how you brand yourself and what you can bring to the table.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾
