Hello Mastercard employees. I have been trying to break into MC for long now.
I have 2 yrs workex post MBA. I have experience in data analysis and consulting. But I don't want to get into consulting anymore. I am looking for analytics roles. Anyone here would be able to DM and guide me on the available options at Mastercard?
Location: Gurgaon

If your team supports it but even if you’re working on design, there’s always a conceptual element to it. I went down this path as a designer and although my title is now CD, I function a lot more like a Design Director and lead branding efforts or more design heavy projects. It does sometimes feel like I’m “less than” others at my level who are purely ADs or CDs but I also appreciate my agency making space for someone like me. And I do feel valued, so it’s worked out so far.
It depends on where you want to end up. I’d prefer to work at a branding agency or design studio and if I were looking, would tailor my portfolio appropriately. But for the moment, I’m fairly content in advertising at an agency that has carved out a role for me. If you want to keep your AD title and work in advertising, you’ll have the most luck with conceptual work in your book…unless you’re shooting for a role as a Designer or Design Director. Though DD’s seem rare at ad agencies these days.
After 10years as an AD, there have been times my career has been very conceptual focused for years and then design focused for another few years. Get great at both and it will open more doors in the long run.
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Dang I'm the complete opposite.
Totally understand.
