Hi 🐠, I’m a Tech consultant doing ERP delivery, with a manufacturing and supply chain focus. I enjoy the strategy component more than the software component, so wondering how difficult it is to transition into that kind of role? Whether that’s in consulting or industry.

I wouldn’t say it’s too difficult - starting on the tech implementation side of your career helps because you learn all about business process, order of ops , efficiencies tech can drive. However , as I’m sure you noticed it’s not all about the tech as you have to make people and process changes to really see drastic improvements & cost optimization.

Work where your at for a couple years, get a solid grasp of concepts and a workstream(in your case supply chain) , then you can jump to a broader transformation / strategy group who will like that you know the software side of things. I’ve seen many people do this.DM me if you have any questions.

Anyone have any advice or insight on interviewing for a GS General Attorney position? I’m really excited and working to prepare for an interview I’ve been offered.

I’m a litigation junior associate in private practice now, but have a long academic background in international trade, policy, and security.

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:
1. Smaller firm about to be acquired by a larger one, Product Marketing role (title would be Sr. PMM)
2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!
