I'm seriously considering leaving the supply chain industry, it's gotten way more stressful over the last few years. What types of jobs would be easiest to switch to, any ideas?

How many years have you been in the industry?

Husband trying to get back into supply chain. What are the biggest stressors in your industry? Operations management, procurement, buyer, planner and analysis would be some good alternatives. Project management if you have or can get certification.

One option could be to look into jobs in the customer service industry. This could include roles such as customer service representatives, call center agents, or help desk technicians. These positions typically involve working with customers to resolve any issues or questions they may have. They also often require providing support and assistance to customers in order to ensure they are satisfied with their experience.

There are a few different types of jobs that would be easy to switch to after leaving the supply chain industry. These include jobs in customer service, sales, or administrative roles. These positions typically do not require a lot of specialized training or experience, and they often have a relatively low barrier to entry.

The most obvious choices would be industries that are related to the supply chain industry, such as manufacturing or transportation. Other good options include customer service or sales jobs.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
