Graduating - Starting in logistics industry (Non-logistics role). How’s growth, easy to pivot industries?
I’m graduating in May and recently accepted a full-time offer in the logistics industry, but it’s not a logistics/ops role. I’m super grateful as finding something wasn’t easy especially given my prior experiences .
My last two internships/co-ops were in CPG, and I feel like I built a pretty solid base there. Part of me thinks I could’ve kept growing in CPG and maybe leveraged that experience more long term but for some reason the competition in CPG is so competitive and so I wasn’t able to land something.
Now I’m switching into logistics industry and I’m not really sure how to feel about it. I know the industry tends to have thinner margins and doesn’t always pay as well, which makes me a little worried about getting stuck later on in the industry.
I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it this early in my career. For anyone who’s been in logistics or made a similar switch how’s the long term growth? Is it easy to pivot industries later on or do you kind of get locked in?
