Hey Fish, I have almost 2 YOE in supply chain and honestly don’t feel like I can be in this field forever. Has anyone been successful in a career switch? I am interested in real estate but I feel like that ship has sailed. Any tips or pointers I should look out for?

I was in supply chain for 2 years too, then switched to analytics and now back to consulting. Focus on the transferable skills and what motivates you.

Crossposted. Looking for advice. I’ve got 10+ years as an attorney and have been trying to go in house for over a year. I have a generalist background (although I’m primarily a litigator) and was a partner at an Amlaw 100 firm. I’ve had my resume reviewed and keep getting great feedback. Not getting many interviews and when I do, I’m not getting offers despite positive interviews. How do I differentiate myself? Should I get some sort of certification or specialty? This is getting depressing.

Let me be clear; I have no problem with this, however when the pay doesn’t match…This leaves me feeling burned out most days.

Weird question - i know a number of folks who worked in generic marketing or sales type roles who found their way to companies like faang amex/visa, etc, doing similar sales or marketing work.

Lately, as they’ve been promoted, they now call them themselves things like “strategy lead” or “growth lead” or “strategy director” - are marketing and sales roles really pivoting into strategy and growth as we here think of them, or are those just fancy titles that still mean sales and marketing?
