Looking to transition from global health nonprofit work to consulting - any thoughts on what steps I should take? I’m considering a PMP cert, masters degrees, etc but I wonder if I should just start applying and see what happens (I have started - getting minimal interest). I have 6 YOE with three as a manager, all with direct reports and international programs.

Depends the type of consulting you want to do, general rule of thumb the best way to pivot is through an MBA. If you want to go to more niche IO focused firm, then you can start applying pay in those firms are just rough but if you like the mission it’s a good middle ground

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

I have about 7 years experience in this area.
