Welcome to Episode 7 of the 180DC Podcast! In part 3 of our Women in Leadership Series, we spoke with Amanda Snape who is currently a Country Operations Manager at Google. Amanda started out her career in management consulting at Deloitte before making the transition to tech.
In this episode, we spoke with Amanda about her work at Google, her previous role in consulting and also what the future looks like for the tech industry. We deep dive into important topics such as promotions to managerial level roles, exit opportunities after consulting and also the experiences one may accumulate during their years as a strategy consultant. Additionally, we unveiled the concept of secondments: what they are, how to obtain them but also when to know it's the right time to pursue one.
Don’t miss out on this week’s reeling question at the end where we ask Amanda about her childhood dream job and whether she would still pursue this dream job if economic factors didn't exist.
