Hi everyone,

I have been working as a Supply chain manager for more than 10 years for a private company. Currently, I am working for more than 3-4 hours overtime daily, plus weekends, for which I am not paid. I would like to know how the other Supply Chain Managers are working. What are the exit opportunities?

Is that normal? Maybe but that much overtime means you need a higher headcount and/or higher efficiency.
But to answer your second question, opportunities abound if you are willing to move.

I am working that amount of hours as well, but I only made it to Supply Chain Associate.

Should I specialize in Blockchain or AI? I’m a freshman in a CS degree and I can’t decide.

Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.

Sanity check. Going to preface this by saying I'm not in a rush. I wanted to get some good consulting experience so joined EY out of UG. Got early promo, but I've reached the point where I'm no longer growing (learning) much on my current team. I've become very interested in PE and want to give that a shot. I lack the resume experience.

Thinking to move within EY to an M&A focused group SaT or EYP. Do ~2 years and see if I still want that. Will that tick the box for most PE shops?

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
