Hello!

I have an undergrad degree in International Business and 3 years of communication and service delivery experience. Since graduating school I had an interest in supply chain and now am ready to try and pivot into it.

Is there any specific education or certifications I should try to obtain to pivot into it? I was looking at a post graduate certificate in supply chain. Do you think this is worth it? How do you recommend pivoting into it? Thanks!

You likely already have enough skills for a good position in the field of Supply Chain Management. Lean 6 Sigma Certification would be beneficial for some higher level positions at prominent companies. You might want to look into that depending on which job role you desire to pivot into.

13 yr outside Sales Experience in the B2B space, multiple roles/companies. Current quota is $15MCAD, I usually do not bad in quota but lately has shifted to rewarding medicorciy and "pooling" some numbers countrywide which i really dont like.
Current comp is $85k Base and $115 OTE with a ceiling of $150k CAD/$120k US. Feel it's too little for my experience and they are taking perks away by the day.
Thinking of moving to I tech sales? Anyone else do it? What's comp look like?
