Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Almost 4 years since I am working in various sales and BD roles post MBA. Have worked with FMCG and Ecomm companies.
Done with chasing numbers everyday and looking for some strategic / mindful work.
What are the possible next roles other than sales?

Note - not looking for category/account management sort of roles. Been there, done that.

Sales Manager

Need some inputs from seniors!- Grapevine

I have about 5 years of experience working in sales for both product and service companies (startups and MNC). However, in the long run I don't want to be in sales. I want to eventually move into something where my work has some sort of impact. Can be: product management, business strategy, internal or client consulting or maybe something else which I'm not sure of. As I'm in the middle of taking a break currently to figure this out, I want to understand how I can transition into these roles without a master's degree? Is it practically possible? If yes, then how should I go about it?

Quite confused, need some help

Sales

Background: Working with B2B SaaS startup raised $165m till now. 
No appraisal this year. 
Multiple changes of top management, a boss added between reporting manager and CEO

10 months into, the role has changed from what was told, and I envisioned. Day to day work has become running behind people, taking statuses and giving to manager.
Mentally and physically draining(extensive travel) 

Sat with manager, told this is not working for me. Can the role be developed into analytical or strategic approach or new role in another department?

Three things can happen now
- Manager actually gets me something better
- Manager does nothing
- Manager fires me because I don't like the work

Tbh, all three work for me. 

Also, if you are hiring I'm open to chatting.

Frustrated & stuck - Seeking Product Roles Entry Level

Key Account Manager

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hello GV folks,
Have been working in sales for the last 3 years(post MBA - Tier 1 college) and I am basically tired now of all the headache that comes with it, weekly reviews, bashings from both customers as well as internal higher management in case numbers are not happening, which gets very abusive and taxing at times. I have been evaluating if Michael Page would be a good career move and would it be possible to come back to tech/program management if I get into C-suite recruitment. Need guidance, pls help??

Michael Page Review?

I work at a startup and have been here for more than 7 years. I joined right after graduating from a tier 1 engineering college (one of the old IITs). I was the first team member after the founders and now hold the position of non tech CXO in the company. The startup has grown significantly, not in traditional funding terms but in actual business. I have dedicated countless days and nights to growing this company, hardly taking a single day off in the initial 4 years, and often working more than 10 hours daily. My salary has increased proportionately to what I should be paid (>65 LPA), and I also have decent ESOPs in the company, which could be worth anywhere between 2 to 4 crores depending on the valuation at which we raise funds. However, I don’t count ESOPs as real money. In the next 10 years, it's going to be a very big thing, and I am glad to be part of it. Many of my friends, who have done MBA from IIMs and worked at BCG or Bain, are craving for the position I am in.

But I feel FOMO about not trying anything else in life. It's like achieving decent success on the first try. I use the word "decent" and not "crazy" because it's not crazy success.

What do I want ideally?
I'd like to take a 6-month break and then figure out my next steps. Maybe start something new or join another company at a leadership level. But I am too afraid of not getting the same opportunities and ending up struggling.

Thus the question:
Is there any agency that works specifically to help you get a job at a CXO position? How does it work? Can a non-MBA with 8 years of work experience get a CXO position at a decently big company (>300-500 crores in revenue)?

CXO Position, Right after college. Confused now !

Hi Everyone,

I had to put down my paper in my current workplace without any offer in hand. I have 2 months notice period to look for a job. 

I know, I know, I knowwww it isn’t a sane move with how the job market is, but the culture was too toxic to continue.

So I am reaching out to this forum to help a pal. Please comment below or DM if there are any opening in your circle. Will connect and discuss from there.
