Hello Mastercard employees. I have been trying to break into MC for long now.
I have 2 yrs workex post MBA. I have experience in data analysis and consulting. But I don't want to get into consulting anymore. I am looking for analytics roles. Anyone here would be able to DM and guide me on the available options at Mastercard?

Being new is a great shield. Anytime anyone introduces something you don’t know, just say something like: “Could you define that for me? My old shop used a similar acronym and I want to make sure I’m following our language clearly.” If you make it known your questions are about learning to be a part of THIS agency, people are generally very receptive to that and won’t think of it again after they answer your question.
Listening is a good start. Read internal presentations. Join conversations. Ask questions. Lingo is like 90% of fitting in.

Hey! This is ok and common! You’re learning a new place. Places are new nations of ideas and you’re gonna be fluent soon. But remember to bring some of you to it, too. Don’t just become ‘them.’
Hi there, deep breath haha all will be ok. Went through a similar experience when I was offered a CD role after only being up to a senior AD. Listen, a lot, take 1 on 1s with your counterparts on other sides of the business, lean on the experts in each function and learn to collaborate with them. Stay humble and use your “new” label while you can, but collaboration and listening will be your best friends.
I hate when this happens. I have known that feelng many times. It gets better with time.
