Yep, had a friend/coworker make the jump from PM at an agency to coordinator at Amazon. His new role is pretty much entirely different from what he was doing at our agency, but hey, it is possible to make the jump!

Yes, mostly from Analytics and Strategy. I know one PM that made the switch aa we.

👋🏻 but small tech (more like startup), not tech giant like Google or Amazon.

@DigitasLBi1, that’s crazy. I know PMs that have worked at FB and they are brilliant and incredibly technical. I’m kinda shocked to hear that a not-good agency PM could even get an interview there, let alone an actual job.

Yes. PM, Production and Account.

Does anyone know of a good resource or have insights into which functions within pharma/biotech typically funnel into leadership positions? I’m still early in my career, and find that the business development aspect is interesting, but it seems commercial roles (sales & marketing) might be the better pathway. I know it’s a bit aspirational to be thinking about leadership roles right now, but I’m just curious as I think about career navigation and where I may want to focus in the future
