Has anyone pivoted into more of a supply chain data analytics role without an IT/Comp Sci degree? One where you use SQL, Tableau, Power BI. Advice for someone skilled in materials management trying not to go backwards (pay cut, reduction of title) to build these skills?

While at amazon I moved from transportation management to process engineering before moving into warehousing. My current role as a regional gm I build half the data analytics for the warehouse operations org and am as close to guaranteed as it gets when our engineering role opens if I want it.

But I think that’s the key. Both of my movements into those types of roles were internal. I’ve applied to roles external and been auto rejected. If you can pivot internally it will give you much higher odds, and they already know your work ethics. Start networking with those teams. Volunteer to help on projects they are working on. Then when a position opens up throw your name in, ask them what you’d be missing for them to consider you.

I’m a Senior Project Manager at an engineering consulting firm - I don’t have my PE as of yet and my compensation is $100k + bonus. Just a bit of background, at my firm a Senior PM is someone with 8+ years exp. I have 10 years experience and on track to making Principal in a couple of months. I seriously think I’m on the low end of the salary range as a Senior PM. What’s a typical Senior PM or Principal compensation in your firm?

Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
