From what I've seen FTE's have a slight advantage in that you'll possibly have proximity to the team you want to join, or can simply look them up in whoplus to know who to reach out to. If you aren't leveraging this to network, then your just another name on the list of applicants.

The other potential advantage is that you'll possibly be able to have more direct experience with aspects of a given role, due to your current role, which will help you interview well. This isn't a guarantee though, I've seen several people interview for the same role in a different territory and not get it.

The net of it is that you've got to network to get the interview, and still be the best candidate for the job.

Thanks for your inputs, exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate it!

It’s quite open. You have to interview and network for sure. But it’s an open topic that you can discuss and not be looked down upon.

Thanks for your inputs, exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate it!

M2 makes a good point, management is tasked with focusing on their direct reports' career progression, almost to a point that it's expected that you won't be in a single role through retirement. There are always exceptions to this, managers are human, but the two managers that I've had have been very open on the topic of career path. Feel them out, and leverage that executive sponsorship if available.

Hey M2 - circling back on this thread. Would love to connect with you, now that I’ve joined Microsoft. Can I dm you on fishbowl to speak further?

Dont do it, I’ve been in your same shoes & tried to no avail

Sorry to hear about your experience. Do you mind elaborating?

Can anyone suggest a base or generic career path for a marketing coordinator? I’m trying to make sure I define it not only fair with the market but my goals.

My long term goal is to be an Integrated Marketing Manager. Any suggestions and help are welcomed! Oh I’m also in the Tech space as well.

I work in field sales as an IC. My aspirational career path is to end up in people leadership. Recently, an Inside management position opened up that’s been brought to my attention by the hiring director. Question is, is going back Inside the right move to get into started in leadership? Or should I continue down the field path and wait until those field management slots open up?
