I’ve worked in Management Consulting for around 5 years. Been looking for exit ops working closer to content/releases at music labels (WMG, SME, UMG) for the past year but it’s so hard to get my foot in the door without significant past music experience 😭 Anyone have any advice, or potential contacts?

When it comes to the Music Business it’s all about networking. Maybe freelancing for small indie labels or artista or going to industry events may help you better than trying to get into a major without previous knowledge in the area.

If you’re really just coming into the industry, it can be easier to get a position in shared services (supply chain, business development, corporate tech or communications) at one of the majors. From there you’d be able to build your network and gain enough experience to more easily transition over to a label.

I recently found out that my current “position” was making over 3k more than I do in 2014, 16k more in 2019 based on contracts that I accidentally found…. I now do two double the work as I am the only one fully trained to do so. How can I bring this up and demand a raise?

Is there a general expectation that a Partner has an MBA?

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.

I realize that's what makes them good Partners but it makes me wonder if I realistically need to get an MBA to keep growing and hit Partner.

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager. I was just promoted as an account director when I quit my job and moved to the U.K and now having so much trouble finding a job as an AD. My last interview feedback was that they really liked me but felt like I was lacking new bizz skills and that the organic business growth opportunities I found and jumped on were “luck aka right place at the right” moment kinda thing?
