Not needed but highly recommended

I remember hearing that 50 percent of their employees get hired through referral

Ive gotten an interview for strategy & ops no referral. Blew the first round like a moron though

You need sql for everything. If you cant get data out how do you expect to be able to analyze it? Strategy that isnt data driven is just opinion.

Anyway - two paper tables, write a query to answer a question in a google doc, no test cases. Also got an anagrams question which i got in an interview at Blackstone too

What kind of job? You need a referral?

Referral is recommended

Also got in w/o referral. If your resume is solid and you match the job description well, you have a decent shot of hearing back

I’ve been working in public accounting (audit) for a year and I don’t enjoy the work and don’t see myself in this position for much longer. I’ve been thinking about going into marketing but stuck on how to get started. I know I have no prior experience, but since I’m early in my career and with taking some courses/certifications (Google analytics, SEO, etc.) to boost my resume, I’m hoping to make the switch. Any advice on where to start, what type of marketing positions I would align with, etc?
