Trying to make the jump from consultant to product manager. Seems like every role I look at requires previous PM experience. Any advice from consultants who’ve made this jump successfully?

Im moving from core Auto product management role to software development product management role.

Might be starting at a small agency as a full time Junior AD soon, fingers crossed. It's my first full time position since WFH began.

Thanks in advance!

Jr. Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm in Central Florida. Good credentials; top 10% at T14, law review. Sick of private practice bc of hours and pressure. Also, not enjoying the work that Central Florida offers, but want to live here.

I want to one day have my own firm. Trying to think outside the box on how to get the experience w/o being in big law for ten years.

Thinking of applying to be an ASA and to the FL AGO. Would like trial experience or civil rights/con law work.

Thoughts appreciated!

Have any of you gone from Advertising to PR or vice versa? I’m early in my career, fighting like hell for full time with a good place. I love working in advertising but also like some of the work these PR firms do. I’ve seen more senior people go back and forth but wasn’t sure if it’s a bad move early in your career from a creative standpoint.

Has anyone transitioned from solely doing HR functions into Talent Acquisition/ Recruiting ? If so, how has your experience been? Did/do you like it?Has it been difficult?

I’m leaving the public school and I’m trying to find a job that would be good for the experience I have.

Does it look bad in my resume to resign after less than a year at a job? writing here the time I’ve spent at each company since graduating college:
- 2 years at company 1 (resigned to move back to home country)
- 2 years at company 2 (resigned and moved back to the US)
- went back to company 1 (it had grown exponentially after 2 years so came back at higher position) (resigned after 1 year to join a startup at director level)
- 6 months at startup and I want to quit with nothing lined up

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
