Hi everyone, I need your advice!
I have 7+ years of experience in art direction and creative project management, leading campaigns for major brands. I'm now looking to pivot into brand management, which feels more aligned with my long-term goals. I'm unsure if I should enroll in business school to support the transition or try gaining experience through entry-level brand roles, certifications, or mentorship. I'd love advice from anyone who's made a similar career switch—what worked best for you?

Currently a Solutions Consultant at Pegasystems.

I am interviewing at and considering making a jump to
Oracle as a Specialist Solutions Consultant.

The reason for my move is currently at Pega SCs are treated more as AEs or Account Managers. The role at Oracle would be more of a true SC position. I also feel that Oracle will look BETTER on a resume and someone as young as me would have BETTER programs in place to train me and give me the foundation needed to be a successful SC.

Thoughts?
