They already offered you the job. Fake it till you make it!
Listen to Richard Branson.
Others will say just take it and figure it out later. I say, if you’re having doubts about the learning curve, talk it over with the hiring manager first. They’ll likely be understanding, but you just want to be sure everyone is on the same page.
In my previous job, we hired a strategy director who clearly wasn’t qualified. He got fired in about 6 months.
Thanks M2! This is a good advise!
Did you apply and interview hoping for a different outcome?
I did not apply. I was approached by them.
Take the job. You can do it.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS ADVICE. I took a role I knew I was going to struggle with and it ended up being 7 days or working straight due to the learning curve until I quit in 4 months
Can I ask your gender? Studies show that women are more likely to think this way about new opportunities, whereas men often believe the are super qualified, even without the proven track record. I’m a woman, and I always check my self-doubt and remind myself that we’ve often been conditioned to doubt ourselves in these ways. If you aren’t a woman, maybe this insight will still be helpful! Just throwing it out there
Curious, why do you think it’s going to be huge for your career? Are you going to be getting paid much more? I know it’s not particularly a growing path as companies are moving away from hiring purely strategy consultants
Pay is more than 2x. It may slow down but I don’t see it fully vanishing ever.
Where is the strategy role? I moved from an internal consulting role to a strategy role at Accenture.
There was definitely a learning curve for pace of work and type of work, but I consider myself a fast learner and have been able to pick things up. If I had to guess, I’m probably an average performer at this point
But if you think you’re a quick learner with strong critical thinking skills, it’s worth the rush imo
The ‘advantage’ I had going into my roll is that I have a strong healthcare background for someone at my level.
So even if some of my ‘strategy’ skills were initially lackluster, I was able to make up for it with my industry knowledge
Having skills/knowledge you can fall back & rely on is definitely helpful in this situation
Need more details on the role and industry. I made a similar jump and it was fine, but I had stronger domain expertise.
