Who hires junior strategists? Where should I start looking? I’m loving my planning internship right now, but I want to apply elsewhere in case I don’t get an offer, but I’m not seeing anything open.

I would really make sure you get hired where you intern unless it’s totally out of your hands for business reasons.

It says they tried you out and you were good enough to hire full time - hugely positive signal to future employers.

The opposite is also somewhat true

Don’t expect an offer to just come...... put that baby into motion! Live, eat, breathe and bleed planning. Fully brand yourself as a planner. Read strategy case studies in your free time. Discuss strategy with other strategists. You have to want it more than anything... and show it. Tell your superiors about your planning passion. Ask their advice and engage in strategic discussions with them. It’ll show them how you think. Entry level planning positions are very hard to come by - hence you not seeing any - but they do exist. Good luck!

Also, network.

I've been exploring exit opportunities for a few months and still holding out for the right opportunity.

My resume clearly says I've got 10yrs experience and an MBA. I **don't think* I should be getting offers of 80k-100k
