Feeling a bit lost, working as a Mid-Market account manager for a listed company in Aus and moved across from marketing (3yrs exp) last year.

Company restructures so I've landed in an great paying position but it's a dead end and will probably be made redundant in 12-18 mths, and it's a tick box role (won't learn much tbh).

Do I look to go back to marketing with a pay cut, look at a different company in sales (but don't have much exp), or ride this out and reassess in 6-12mths? Thank you.

Is it easy to get into either of MBB in another country, let’s say Russia or UAE, with a degree from a US non-target yet good school? I would assume a US degree will be much more coveted than any local degree. I can work in either countries as well as US, and I would love to leverage that to get ‘MBB’ on my resume if that can be pulled off lol I’m not sure if the quality of experience will be the same.
