I just had the most amazing training session today, where I got a taste on how to work through a problem with different strategic frameworks and think about the issue from those perspectives.
The session taught me a lot, but more importantly it showed me what I want to learn more of.
I left the meeting feeling energized and excited about the area where I want to develop a career, I’m more certain than ever that I want to go business school, and I feel confident that I am at a good place for developing analytical skills at my current job, and that moving forward, I’ll be pursuing graduate education (next 3+ years) and doing more more strategic / marketing work down the road (post-MBA).
Feeling excited about a possible career? That’s wonderful.
Edit: If any of my readers are in marketing / brand management and would be willing to talk to me about your career path, please let me know. I’d really like to hear about your experiences.

That is awesome! Finding a passion has been a goal of mine for a long time. It is great to hear success stories!
I’m 100% with you. This is my second week on the job at the new consulting gig and I’m loving the strategy work they have me doing. I can definitely see myself doing this post-MBA too. I am sooooo glad I’m not in banking anymore, WTF was I thinking…lol.
