Why are you interested? Genuinely curious, everyone I know in fashion or retail is trying to get out. Old business models and limited room for growth and small pay

I supplied brands/retailers in my last corporate job, and concluded that the apparel business is a caste system: at the top is the Merchant Prince/Princess (Ralph Lauren, Rebecca Minkoff, Tory, etc), and everyone else is a serf.

Some startups like Rent the Runway and Stitch Fix appreciate analytics (founders are all HBS grads) but I’d approach legacy companies with extreme care

After being in one industry for over 10 years I want to try something new. Keep getting put in similar projects/ roles and legit just want a change. It’s hard to even move to a new state (I’m in NJ) cause a lot of the work I can do aligns to this area.
