How do you pick an industry to exit to? I don’t have much experience, and I’m not a big fan of consulting, but I’m not sure where else I could get a decent paycheck and maintain some optionality to exit to an industry I like. Unfortunately, it’s not possible for me to try projects outside of my designated industry (government) at my firm. Should I switch to another consulting firm to get more exposure to other industries or should I directly exit to industry, and if so, which one?

What’s your college major and are you technical?

Undergrad business major and non-technical (though I am learning SQL and Python now)

It’s definitely possible. I did public sector consulting at ibm and moved to tech. Frame your resume differently to show more transferable skills rather than industry specific

I worked as Comms Dir. for 6 years at a nonprofit that hosts conferences as its primary activity. 3 yrs back, financial problems gutted staff and my position was eliminated- due to my intervention, my direct report remained. This person I hired and trained has done well, organized and efficient. It is now time to staff up for another conference and I’m welcome to return, but my direct report is being promoted to Comms Dir. they’d like to split the role somehow, but I can’t figure out how.

Need some unbiased advice! My current agency hired me back in November at almost 8 months pregnant. I love the agency, my team, my boss.. everyone has been incredible. I currently make 58k. A friend of mine gave my name to the recruiter at his company looking to fill a Marketing Manager position and they are interested in setting up an official interview. The low end of this position would be 80k, so obviously the salary is a big lift along with the benefits package (see comments for more)
