Hi,

I'm trying to career pivot but unsure what title should my next move be.

Grad 2020 --> Media Planner (7 mo) --> Senior Planner 1 year

I am in the pharma agencies and curious about what have people moved onto or think I can move into?

I definitely like working with people and at one point considered HR (but don't like the sales aspect of it). I HATE sales! I am also applying for project management but have had no callbacks.

The good news is your career is still brand new — so don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you’re pigeon-holed into Pharma or even advertising.

For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.
