Does anyone have any tips or career suggestions for an AD looking to move completely out of creative? I think I’d like to stay in advertising for the pay but I can’t do the creative side anymore.

How are your soft skills and are you organized? You can try going into accounts or PM, might be a good pivot. Started my early years in creative, but it never really goes away. Even as a PM I'm always around it.
Take some time to reconnect with your inner child. You might be surprised by what comes up.

I would also reach out to any PM friends or contacts you have and have a coffee chat. Pick their brains and put it out there that you are looking to switch.

Why not strategy? I have an old AD that did it.

Hey Friends, need help!! I am a developer with 1.6 YoE, got placed on-campus (NIT), can code well in Java and Python, but want to move into an analyst type role as I am not sure if I can be a good 'developer'.
Is it an ideal move for a long career, or if I want to do an MBA in future?
If so, could you please suggest how to prepare for such roles in good companies?
I feel a little lost with a lot of self doubt, and possibly need some counselling on this too. Suggestions are welcome.

Hey everyone - I could do with some advice. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am having a hard time getting interview calls. I am trying to pivot from consulting to the industry and targeting project/program management roles. I have been doing this work for 7+ years now (total YOE 12 years) so certainly have the right skillset. I have tried a couple of referrals too but that didn’t help either. Any advice you guys could provide would be helpful. Thanks!
