Would CBS J-term make sense if you want to transition from MBB to a US start-up or FAANG?

I would argue you don’t need an mba if you’re already at mbb trying for start up or fawns.

Got it. So then I’m not really sure. Haven’t met anybody like that/not in my networkz. I’m sure others can opine.

All FAANG are different so I’d say a summer internship is helpful to figure out which one to join. For that reason, I don’t think J term makes sense.

J-term at CBS isn't exactly ideal for transitioning industries. You miss out on the 1st year recruiting cycle, and anyways are doing classes through the summer. Could probably find some sort of part-time start-up internship during a semester, but you're probably better off just enrolling in a standard program.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

After 5 years as an AE / Sales Manager, what are the next possible career paths?

So I'm really keen to hear from others what steps they took in their career to get into roles they love doing now but still within the sales side of an organisation.

Okay so, its been a while since I've been seeing this in Linkedin:
The Job requirement says its Entry Level, but the experience it requires is always 6 year+... like how would a fresher match that.. should I've started coding at 6th grade or what?

I understand that it's a way of "SEO" in LinkedIn but it just discourages us freshies.

Actually not sure if this post belongs in this bowl but.. it is what it is?
P.s. I still apply to these because what's the worst that could happen... right?
