I had an unconventional career trajectory. I am 35, have a background in the arts, and started in the grocery industry as a cashier. I have about 10 YOE in grocery: 2 years in store, 5 years category management, and 3 in management consulting.

Director, $170k, 10% Bonus, $20k in vesting stocks annually

Compared to others in similar roles in consumer insights, and in grocery overall - I feel well compensated. Giiven the level of work life balance I have, I'll stay with SymphonyAi for a while.
