Is it possible to get into one of those “Development programs” without an actual degree in logistic or supply chain? For example, my degree is on criminology and Law but I don’t want to do law enforcement or law. So, am I wasting my time applying at these programs? Thanks!

Yes but you will need multiple supply chain internships

I would think it’d be a great way to get into SCM or logistics

It's possible, but it will be more challenging. Most development programs look for candidates with a relevant degree or experience. However, if you have strong academic credentials and can demonstrate your interest and passion for logistics and supply chain, you may still be able to get your foot in the door.

I look at these opportunities as the “practicals” portion of your educational background. I think a lot of them will expect you to be able to work on the application of what you’ve learned in school (or at least have the knowledge base to do so…) which is not to say it wouldn’t be possible, but it’s been my experience in the past.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
