Hello!
I came across a opening for a Strategic Designer role at BCDV which I am extremely keen on.
Would it be possible for anyone to refer me?
My bachelor's was in Product Designer, worked for 2.5 years as UX designer and just finished my Masters in Innovation Management.
Definitely happy to share CV and portfolio before.

Has anyone sold at IQVIA? What’s comp like?
Any Spotify people here? Noticed there’s an AM role going at the moment in the UK but not sure what experience level it is. For reference I’ve got 6 years in ad sales experience with 3 years management (both in music industry). Would this be comfortable or is it worth holding out for AD?

Sales people are often times easier to transition to other opportunities. Sales manager roles aren’t as often available. Sometimes the comp plan for managers is less than ICs for top performers.
First move to leadership is important. Choose wisely but also realize that it's a stepping stone. AE is quick fix payouts and comes with ups and downs.
VP roles come with equity, valuable experience, and upward trajectory in your career.
If you can lead, you should lead....just know your worth and choose wisely.
I would love to move into a management position, but no amount of experience and succes as an IC seems to make up for the fact that I don't have direct management experience, and I've been turned down for interviews solely because of that fact alone.
If you have an opportunity to move into a manager roll, I would suggest that you take and open that door for options down the road. If you don't, then that opportunity many never come along again. This isn't a permanent decision, being a manager won't preclude you from moving back into an IC role if you happen to decide that it's not for you.

I think those concerns are valid. I have seen strong technical people become managers and slowly lose touch with the skills that made them valuable. It depends whether you enjoy leading people as much as the work itself.
