S1E20 - Career Changers: From Accounting to Marketing Analytics

Zicklin GCMC Podcast

Episode Notes

Many people at some time in their life have thought about changing careers. In fact, in a 2019 Indeed survey, 65% of respondents who had not yet switched careers said that they either thought about or previously considered doing so. Making a career switch happen in reality, however, is not always easy. In this episode, Zicklin Evening MBA student Adiel Schmidt shares her story of how she made a career switch from Accounting into Marketing Analytics, including:

• How she landed in Accounting and then Marketing Analytics
• Zicklin classes that helped direct her interests
• How she focused on the transferrable skills that would help her switch careers
• Frustrations she faced in getting that first break
• Lessons she learned from it all
