Some of the highest-paying roles in this field are the logistics and supply chain manager positions which cap out somewhere around the 100k mark. After getting some years of experience, becoming a consultant or starting your own distribution company are a couple of ways for you to maximize your earnings

I would say that you don’t necessarily need years of experience to get into SC consulting at B4. In fact, I know many of sc consultants join right outta college

There are many lucrative positions within the supply chain field. Some of the most common and well-paying positions include purchasing manager, logistics manager, and distribution manager. These positions typically require a bachelor's degree in business or a related field, as well as several years of experience in the field.
