I think the easiest is to go to a general agency as a Sr Pm - it translates the skill set the best. Then once you’re in work on transitioning to the producer role.

Interesting...
Why does a pharma producer translate better to a PM? Or what responsibilities do general producers have that are lacking from pharma?

My personal opinion (I did the opposite and went from general to pharma) is that it would be easiest at the senior level because you’re exposed to more; as a jr producer on pharma things are really narrow and the scope of what you handle isn’t quite wide enough for a general agency - just my
Opinion!

If you need a reference LMK! I worked in general for years! Dm me!

What are people’s thoughts on CS masters degrees? I’m not talking about the professional ones designed for non-CS undergrads, but a proper masters degree from a good school. I have 3 years work experience as a data engineer, but would love to dive deeper into ML and a degree seems like a good option. Will companies value it? I don’t have a CS background in undergrad, but most prereqs are knocked out.

So with 60 days Military PTO, a pretty healthy vacation policy, good benefits overall and from what I am perceiving as a pretty damn good career path, almost like an Army officer career path, is this consulting career actually a pretty good gig? I mean, it seems like you can do just about whatever you want in Accenture, even if “consulting,” isn’t the path you want to go down long term. Are these people wining about comp, hours, and projects, just clueless to what the real world is like, and how much Military hours and “projects” can be? I don’t know I just feel like this is like the civilian equivalent to the Military, and not in a bad way, thoughts?

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
