Hi everyone. My question is, what is the most common/effective career route to becoming a category manager in industry?

Background:
I’m ~3 years post undergrad in supply chain consulting (b4) and have bounced around b/t projects in procurement (mostly sourcing), planning, and a couple other random projects. I know I don’t have the experience to move into a category role directly from consulting. Should I look for roles in sourcing, buying, general supply chain manager? Thanks

I’ve been interviewing for new positions to leave PA. But in my current position, we’ve been adding quite a few new projects (and our team is partner, two staff, and me) that will probably start over the next couple of months. I don’t think my boss has any idea I’m looking to leave - anything I should do to not feel guilty about potentially leaving them short staffed with a ton of work? Is this something you think about when looking to leave?

Hello all,
I have given interview on 19th Nov 2022 and the same day, I received an email to upload some documents. Can someone tell me how much it would it take to move to the next step in the recruitment?.
The portal shows "Review in progress." Any input on this will be appreciated 🙂

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?

Do you think it is quite possible to get fired by asking too many questions as an experienced senior 1? If so, i might get fired after this busy season.
