SarahN replied to Andrew Kyrejko's discussion Any advice for recently graduated anthropologists searching for strategy/planning jobs in NYC?"I cannot help but add my two cents: Entry-level strategy jobs are practically non-existent. Absolutely consider (paid or non) internships and account management opportunities. Look for agencies who value career development & have a strong…"
