People from those roles do occasionally move into S&T but it's not common. If you you build relationships with people in S&T and they know that you want to move over, they will sometimes help you. But that's not guaranteed. Just keep working hard and be vocal about your goals.

Are you in an operational role that deals with sales and trading?

Yes

Thanks for your help.

Would it help if I got a masters in finance and marketing?

I doubt it. Those roles are more about performance and production than education.

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.
