Has anyone transitioned from Strategic Sales to Corporate Strategy? I love the strategic thinking and problem solving in sales and want to transfer those skills to a corporate role where I can have more influence on my company’s strategy and investments.

I am month 5 in a brand management role at a CPG company and I feel so overwhelmed with the steep learning curve. I am not an Excel guru and I gravitate towards creative/comms more than business analysis. I am not very passionate to learn about forecasting, volume etc either. I love the brand comms side and enjoy learning how to lead cross-functionals but I find the analytics/financials challenging and boring. Not sure if I am cut out to be a CPG marketer... Any advice?

Hello! I’m a PharmD with 6+ years experience in a clinical setting (hospital) and have been trying to break into the industry realm for about a year and a half now. Can anyone explain to me why it’s so hard?? 😂 Is it normal to take this long to find something? I’ve had maybe 4-5 interviews and the feedback I’ve gotten is they decided on someone with experience or someone internal (recently ghosted by a company after a panel interview as well). Just wondering if it’s worth it to continue trying.
