I’m always curious about these corp jobs. I’ve always worked at small companies so no idea how you advance to this position.
Did you start out in the mailroom/sales out of college? Get an MBA?
Well let’s be honest - 50% shit dumb luck.
The other 50% is more planned.
- Few years at a consulting firm
- Fee years at a corporate
- Back to consulting for a few more years
- Top tier MBA
- Back to corporate in higher level role (although many of my peers went to consulting which is the faster path)
- Jump around 2 - 3 times for big pay raises - that’s key
