Does anyone have experience with exiting to brand management after 1-2 years in consulting? Is it feasible? Or do you need an MBA? Which companies?

Think that would def be transferrable. You will likely go in as an associate brand manager. Brand managers are mba or five plus years marketing experience. Good luck - keep us posted

I’ve been looking at similar opportunities. Majority of opps are in CPG firms and they all want MBAs.

Hm that was my impression, too. Such a long road to get there. Out of curiosity, what ops did you find to be exceptions?

Do you have a marketing background at all? I think it would be possible to switch if you have relevant experience. Many of the positions want experience in digital marketing however. JC - why are you interested in making the switch?

No marketing experience yet, but hoping to get onto marketing projects soon (mostly pricing work). I think I realized it's where my interests lie recently and I'd rather be doing what I like if I'm going to grinding away :)
