Hi! 7ish years in the PR/Comms agency space, 3 of which have been focused on sustainability comms for publicly traded CPGs. I'm good at what I do but I kind of hate it (the comms stuff) and am curious about ESG strategy/consulting. Curious if anyone has made a similar shift or could share some tips on what kind of background, education, certifications, etc. are required? Or pointers on other avenues i could explore to get out of Comms.

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.

Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

I know that the politically correct thing to do here is to do whatever the managing partner wants me to do, but I just wanted to ask for other ppl's opinion.

Hoping to make a big difference and include CSR/Sust audits and projects beyond for our clients! Any tips?
