How easy is it to switch roles once you are in a company? Say I join pharma in Strategy and I eventually want to move to Supply chain. Is that realistic? Is that feasible?

Totally depends on the company’s talent model. Many companies specifically use the strategy function in the same way that other companies use an LDP, as a testing and trial ground for new GM’s and functional leads. They expect you to find a home in the business after a couple years.

Depends at what level you come in at and your background.

If you're more junior and don't have much supply chain experience, you can probably switch over.

For more senior roles you'll need to have supply chain experience.

You find someone in supply chain willing to trade positions and you let him have a go at your wife. No more than five times but no less than three.

Best advice when entering the world of SAP.

I’ve been at a job for a few months and hate it - partners set unrealistic deadlines, micromanage, and create work that truly is not necessary/push urgency when there is no real urgency.

I can’t tell if this is just burnout, growing pains, or just an untenable work environment. Would you ride it out for a year at new job or pursue other options? HELP!
