Rule of thumb I would say is a year or so, give or take (depends on your level of comfort). Climbing the strategy ladder is all about how autonomous you can be in doing your job. At it’s most basic it’s: can you write a good brief. The basic building blocks I always boil down to is: brief writing, insight generation, research, strategic writing, presentation skills. Hope something in here helps, but just remember you’re on your own timeline and it’s all about how much you feel like you’re learning at a given opportunity!

Looking for some advice.. Manager left, I was given their work. Promoted few months after, but not to the role of my previous manager. Rec opened, I applied, didn't get it. We hired the new person and in my hopes to offload some of that original work back to them. I was told I'm going to continue to do everything my previous manager was doing. I'm still not a product manager even tho my previous manager was and the new manager is. Applying to jobs and concerned my title is holding me back.

I'm graduating with a Master's in Biomedical Engineering with a decent amount of research in academia (and no "professional experience" outside of research facilities), but I don't want to pursue down the line to get a PhD. I have been juggling the options of R&D in the industry (MedTech, Biotech, Pharma) or Consulting (Life Sciences) for which I don't really have a background. What are my other options?
