CPG Thread

what do I need to get a position like yours?

I'm guessing you make damn good money too, no?

Well, that entirely depends on what your current situation is like. Whats your age, education, work experience, etc. like?

P&G definitely pays well as far as marketing and sales jobs go. Out of my undergrad I am making 60-something a year with a very good life balance. I definitely think my quality of life is better than my finance friends who went into banking etc.

P&G does not offer as much upward mobility as other CPG companies and many people wind up in essentially 2 positions for a total of 10-12 years before they are promoted further. So I'm planning to leave, maybe back to PepsiCo, after a couple of years, to get the experience and invaluable brand on my resume.

Honestly P&G doesn't pay AMAZINGLY better than other marketing and sales jobs straight out of undergrad, but the career path and future earnings it sets you up for is very valuable.

How much do you earn? What school did you attend?

>>1031647

I'll give you a hint that you will get if you are also Canadian - a top business school from an otherwise not-so-top university ;)

It made it easier in that PepsiCo, Unilever, and P&G all are partnered with at least one club at my school, so the recruiters will come to campus a few times a year. Get an internship with one big CPG and it makes it much easier to get an interview at another, once they see that brand name.

I earn in the 60-70k range straight out of undergrad.

That being said, people have broken in from shittier universities as well, it's just significantly harder if you're applying straight out of school.

>Not top

Hmm sounds like Laurier or Schulich if anything.

>>1031651
Is there even shitty universities in Ontario? Seems like all the top 6 or whatever are all relatively decent

>>1031658

Ding Ding Schulich

I considered transferring to Ivey and was accepted but fuck that tuition. 24.5k vs. 9k

>>1031660

Laurentian, Lakehead, there are a few.

Top 6 yeah they're all good. We have quite a lot of unis

>>1031661
Yeah senpai.

Lack of co-op of Ivey/Queens in addition to drastically higher tuition is such a meme.

Laurier here desu

>>1031664

Not-top = Laurier or Schulich?

But I thought you guys were "Canada's Best Business School"?

;)

>>1031673
"A top business school at an otherwise not so top University"

Plus no one claims it is top in business. Only that it has the largest business co-op program.

I agree though, everything else does suck in terms of programs.

I mean best*.

I'm just teasing you guys based on your school's marketing campaign :)

Laurier is blessed for co-op though, truly truly valuable asset in your program.

>>1031680
True lol.

Marketing campaigns are shit in general though, everything is "number one in ____".

bu,mp

3rd year accounting student, 77-82% avg end of this year. no work experience outside of short stint in retail.

where should I toss out apps for a summer time internship? I'm not in a coop program, and the recruiting season for those kids ended a while back. I just want something accounting/finance/actuarial related that will get me in bed with a nice company, or at least add substance to my resume before I graduate.

Could you tell us more about yourself? How old, where you studied, what you studied and maybe a couple of other details to paint a better picture of your career.

Also, what was the interviewing process like and did you leverage any connections to get your internships or current job?

Thanks
