Would you say an Analyst role is a good starting point for a recent grad who wants to be a strategist? How long would it take to transition?

Analysts are way more sought after than strategists. An an Analyst that can think like a Strategist is GOLD. Learn everything you can from your coworkers. Read what they tell you to read, dig in and learn what they do every day. Make sure you are solid on market research methods. And then, you are the unicorn!

Would say a broader research role would be a better start but understand that often the two are one and the same.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…
