Corp Development is very different from Product Management or Market Access Strategy

I think Corp Development would be the hardest to exit to from ZS, but not impossible. You can do this without an MBA but you might need some finance or M&A experience to be a credible candidate for Corp Development. The other roles are attainable from ZS

Hi all! I’m an engineer working in the global health space and I’m finding it’s a small, small pool. I also just found out that a new hire (male, also an engineer) is the reason I got a raise after ~5 years of stagnancy. I love my job, but it’s time to move on. Anyone who’s worked in nonprofit spaces - did you stay? Did you switch to consulting/government/etc or go corporate? I’ve been applying without much response, and I’m debating whether a PMP very or masters is going to be necessary.
