Hi fishes. I am currently working at a market research firm and have around 6 years of experience.
I want to upgrade my career path. Please let me know what to choose next. What courses do I need to take so I can switch to top consulting firms like PWC, Kantar, B&C.

Which company would you join?

I currently work in Sales with the intention of moving over to marketing in the near future. I received two offers for BDR/SDR roles from
Sprout Social and Gong. Both salaries are around the same (Gong - base 63k + anticipated $25k in commission, Sprout - 55k base + anticipated $25k in commission).

I like both companies’ software and it extremely hard to decide which position will get me into marketing faster as it is not a traditional BDR path to take.

Help!
