I think I'm tired of the agency side and need a break. I'm a strategy/planning director. What's a good role (not sales) that my skills would translate well to? Time to job hunt!

So much you can do. Research companies. Internal brand teams on the client side. Companies like Facebook, Insta, Spotify, etc. and of course freelance, which in my opinion is the best of all and what I aspire to do some day!

I've seen tons of job posts client-side looking for brand managers with a hybrid of strategy and PM skills. Clients range anywhere from financial to beauty.

I've thought about this but as a planner I don't have PM skills, haven't worked on budgets, etc and most client side jobs require all that jazz

The world is your oyster, quite puzzled you don't already know what your options are

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!
