Hi Everyone! Any advice for breaking into Merchandising? My current company isn’t enabling me to gain the necessary experience or grow into that career field, but it’s what I’ve wanted since I decided to enter the industry. It’s also so difficult to get a job in merchandising if you don’t already have experience. How can I get there?

Hello fine people,
I have a question. I am a GDS employee wishing to relocate to another country as EY country “x” employee. The plan to relocate to country x was already in motion, if not EY then another org. The EY partner from country x is very interested in having me join their team but not sure about my GDS partner because they will be losing billing and may not like it. Is there a way I can approach this with my leaders? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Have any designers with 10+ years experience successfully been able to pivot careers within the industry (without taking a pay cut)?
