How do people usually transition/pivot up to different industry? I work in product management in automotive industry(most recent) but had big data and banking exp previously. I’m looking to switch to more leadership role(director) but in a diff industry, i am curious if being in a diff industry and transitioning to a more director/managerial role at the same time would be problematic?

Career Consultant here specializing in transition: there is a process you need to go through:

1) Research the role you think you want
2) Speak to people who are in the role
3) Reframe your resume, LinkedIn
4) Create a new narrative so you can quickly describe your value prop
5) Find out who in your network can help you get there (or someone who is not in there yet - get to know them)
6) Take action! (Can help to work alongside someone to keep yourself accountable)

Think about yourself as a business - create a business plan and shift into a new industry!

Yes. It’s easier to get a role with current relevant skill set. Then transition to managerial after your in. That said there some exception like startups, etc.

Is this foolish? Anyone else made this move? If the lifestyle just as bad, but with less pay? Any other thoughts?

Hi everyone !

I currently work in SaaS, and I recently got proposed a Customer Success Manager position there. I was initially looking for an Account Executive position, but I was afraid to be a bit bored, and not to be able to express my creativity enough in this position. From what I was explained, CSM would allow me to work in between several departments and to be very free.
In your opinion, should I wait for an AE role or are learning and growth opportunities bigger as a CSM ?

I passed the hiring committee review for a position at Google and the next step is the matching process (it was a general role, but industry hire). But the Recruiter has basically ghosted me for a month now. This whole process has taken SO long. Any suggestions on how to navigate it and do my own part in finding a team/matching/moving along my process?
