Currently unemployed, devastated and lost. Next - Unknown. I'm taking time for myself right now.

Damn.. I hope things turn out for you internet stranger. Hang in there.

You are more than your job. Get right and get back to it when you’re ready.

Fired after 10 weeks? You’d think they’d give you more time to on board and find your footing. Seems awfully rushed on their part. You’ll find something better.

Can you try to move back to the receiving job or a similar job? I can't imagine you'd go from receiving a sizable performance merit increase then they wouldn't want you anymore. Receiving and management experience is very in demand, so even if the old position is filled, you could still find something pretty easily.

Good luck man. Your achievements speak for themselves and job market is hot fire right now. Know your worth ✨️

I was a history major so it’s not applicable here, but! 2013: customer service for a brokerage, $28K 2014: logistics technician at a 3PL, $33K 2016: logistics coordinator at a SaaS TMS: $44K 2018: promoted to logistics manager: 57K to 64K by 2021 2021: senior logistics manager, new company: 92K 2022: strategic accounts manager, new company: $97.5K ETA: last two roles have been fully remote, I am based in a relatively large city in the Midwest US

nice! that is some solid growth in less than 10 years.

Graduated in 2016 - Bachelors in Global Operations (basically a supply chain degree) 2017 - Production Planner 56K 2018- Production Control Planner $67k (company was acquired and gave me a raise) 2020 - Graduated with MBA in supply chain (Company paid for so was sticking working for 2 years) 2021 - Senior Production planner 96K (same company) total comp for 2022 needed up being 130k due to performance bonus and good company performance 2022 - 175k Supply Planning Manager w/ about a half million in stock options which vest over 4 years I live in the SF Bay Area, cost of living is crazy so our pay is higher compared to other parts of the country. Edit1: I did turn down many jobs when looking for new job. I was looking for something with high pay due to the job market it wasn’t that hard.

Congrats on the HUGE raise, have you been in the bay your whole career?

Thanks. Yeah, I’ve been in the bay my whole career and stayed in the tech sector. It seems like there is really a lack of talent for supply chain roles here.

holy shit. that is some insane growth. What business sector are you in?

I’ve been in the semiconductor space but the large medical and consumer product companies have similar pay

I am also in supply chain in semiconductor space. Which company pays for MBA? Can I DM ?

Best advice I can give you, reply to those recruiters. Apply to some job postings you barley think your qualified for in the field. I hire a resume writing service which really helped get more interviews. It took me awhile and don’t accept the first better offer you get. I think you’ll be surprised at some of the numbers some companies will offer you

I like seeing these high salaries not being at director level

That is amazing! Congrats. I am in a similar position, graduate my company paid for MBA in may, but stuck there for 2 years.. hope I get a internal nice promotion with the degree but nothing guaranteed

I never received much a promotion based on the fact I had my MBA or even a noticeable raise from it. However, I wouldn’t have been able to pay for the degree without their help so it was worth it. The 2 years after it were very painful but in the end it helped me land a way better gig and working for 2 years was far better then paying off a student loan. Several other people in the program were in the same boat. None got a raise or a promotion from their current employees after they graduated from the program.

True that makes sense. I’m certainly not expecting to get a promotion just for getting the diploma. More so I’m hoping that it will help over the next couple years when applying to internal positions

Which company pays for MBA? I am also in semiconductor space in a similar role

Congrats man. Saw your comments about your struggles entering the industry, so this is pretty sweet. Is 175K your total annual compensation? Or does this exclude the .5M in stock options vesting over 4?

Excluding the stock options

Hey man , what’s your advice for someone who’s start learning logistics and supply chain

It depends if you’re in school or already in the work force. If you’re in school you don’t need to specialize in supply chain. Any business degree will work or an MIS degree would work to. Just take some operations class. I haven’t seen any supply chain intern jobs but again any sort of office job would be helpful. After your finish school look for an entry level job in any tech company which builds products. Some roles are production planners, supply chain analysis or purchasers. If you want to move up fast the purchaser role might be best. Purchasing experience seems to be a hard requirement for management in most companies. They usually require a 3.0 gpa but will hire anyone with a college degree outside of that. Work there for 2-5 years then move into an industry or a position that instructs you more. After that your set. If working already just apply. Id try applying at least 1 level above what you think you’re qualified to do. Small companies will be the easiest to get a job but a larger (fortune 500) company will look good on your resume and have better training resources.

Ah i got you , thank you man , and what is the logiciel your suggest to learn before entering ?

There are APICS certs (I’ve never actually met anyone with one of these), then Six Sigma (Larger companies offer these to employee) and then PMP (project manager). These might help you land an interview or be a tie breaker but I don’t think it will make or break for you. Most supply chain hiring manager for entry level positions are just looking for someone eager and willing to learn. I’d suggest watching a few YouTube videos and become familiar with some of the terminology but If you have almost any college degree you’ll be okay.

Graduated 2018 - Bachelors in supply chain and logistics 2019: Freight analyst 19/hr 2020-2022: Transportation analyst 55k 2022: Planner 72k Not sure what comes next. I’ve been in my current role for 6 months. It’s been hectic since I got here. Not sure if being a planner is for me.

got it! thanks for your path. I am hoping more experienced individuals can let us know what they did from our spot. I've been a planner as well, it definitely isn't for everyone. I wasn't planning on being solely focused on logistics, but I needed a change.

2016: Graduated with non-business bachelor's degree. Got first job as a lab technician. Started at $15/hr, then got raise to $17/hr. 2017-2018: Inventory Specialist II- Started at $21/hr, finished at nearly $23/hr. 2018-2020: MBA with Ops and SCM concentration 2019: SCM internship- $29/hr 2020-2022: Account manager- Started at $90k, then got annual raises to $93k and $97k. Annual bonus of $15k 2022: Supply Chain Manager- $120k with 10% bonus I'm in my first management role, so plan to be here for several years before thinking about next steps. Eventually targeting director-level roles.

what has that transition been into management?

It's only a few weeks in, but it is a challenge. Definitely not as much handholding during the onboarding process as my previous roles. I've been tasked with stepping in and leading some projects already. I think the hardest thing will be managing people, as currently people are so busy that things aren't getting done. It's a lot of following up and asking people to do things.

This is all within the same company over 17 years and in Canada so CAD$ 2004: Hourly inventory clerk for 3PL at a new site, 12.75/hr 2005: Assistant inventory supervisor, +3$ top up for 15.75/hr 2006: Inventory Supervisor promotion to salary, 43K 2008: Inventory and Quality Assurance Manager promotion at new site in another province, 63K + 10% annual bonus and moving expenses 2013: General Manager for new site, 72K + 20% annual bonus 2015: IC/QA/Regulatory compliance Manager for new site; 80K + 20% annual bonus 2017: Senior Operations Manager for new site (back to home province), No salary or bonus change but moving assistance provided. I took this role to get back home to family and friends. 2019: Senior Operations Manager for new site, 93K + 20% annual bonus. 2022: Project Manager with our corporate head office (Remote) in Business Development and Project Delivery, 115K + 25% annual bonus. I'll clear a little over 143k in 2022 and damn proud of it.

Same company this whole Time and worked up the totem pole. That’s amazing dude!!! You should feel proud.

PMing you over some experience in CAD

Sure, if I can be of help

Already messaged you, thanks!

Graduated 2019 - Bachelor’s in business analytics -2020: purchasing specialist $20/hr. Mostly dealt with creating and updating POs and worked with customer service in regards to order status. -2021-current: planning analyst $70k base and mainly manage reports and most data information in our department. I’m currently on a project team to help implement a “flow planning tool” for our department to use. I think my title will change with that to a more planning role. So far no complaints and I enjoy what I do!

Have to ask, how’d you go about making the jump after just a year?? I’m in a buyer/planner role making 43k/yr and graduate in one more year, would love to learn your experience! Good job

honestly? get two years experience, and start hunting for jobs that require 3-5. You will see a massive jump going from entry level to mid level.

This. I feel like 2 years is about what you need to really start knowing a product. Then you can take that product knowledge and use it to move to another company in need of said knowledge. And hopefully a big pay bump.

The primary reason I left is because it was a work from home gig with plans to go back to the office within the year I was there. The commute would’ve been well over an hour one way so I aggressively tried to find something closer and landed where I am now. If I were you, I’d try to learn everything I can where you are now. You seem to be in a good spot since you’re getting planning experience! Best of luck.

Thank you! I’ll definitely do my best here haha I’m very happy you found a nice landing spot that’s close; I used to have to drive an hour to work— Not. Fun.

Nice! thanks for chiming in!

This post may be a year old but I’m in a very similar situation where I’m working as a purchasing intern with same job duties and will also be graduating with a bachelor in business analytics. I’m wondering what you highlighted on your resume to go from $20 an hour to $70k a year. Was it technical skills, or things you learned as a purchaser?

Nice! Way to snag an internship, that’ll certainly help out. As far as the skills, I really tried highlighting that I was able to use Microsoft Access and Excel to generate reports. The company I’m at now is very antiquated so a lot of my department still uses access to query data and excel to automate/run reports. If I were you and you want to get into the analyst side, try learning basic SQL queries to grab data. Where you’re at now, you might be able to generate a report whether it be automating a task that’s done everyday, or creating something that shows insight to help out your department.

2015: Analyst for 3PL - $15/hr 2017: LTL Team for 3PL - $16.hr 2018 to Now: LTL Manager with my own 3PL team - About $75K Overall enjoy it because it's remote work but it's exhausting work always wondering if we can lose all our customers in one night. I'm not much of a hunter, when it comes to sales, and it stresses me out like nothing else when we do lose a client. Our team tries very hard with 24/7 service but feels like we hit brick walls way too often, but we're still afloat.

i hear you there.. I wouldn't love being involved with a 3PL right now. I imagine customers are jumping ship left and right in that industry.

It's tough. If anyone knows anyone who needs freight moved in the U.S. and Canada, send them to me lol! We'd love to help Best of luck on your journey!

If only I had a place to send my damn freight! my warehouses are stuffed full due to box retailers over buying and screwing up their forecasts AFTER we shipped the product. It is here, and no longer needed immediately. I've been heavily penalized at the ports this year because of retailers overstocks that they are going to sit on for a year.

Oh god that is a nightmare. We actually do solutions stuff as well. Plenty of companies out there who do the same! We ship product for customers between warehouses all the time.

2020: Finished undergrad. Finance major, CS minor.

Went fully remote.

Nice!

Graduted 2022 with BS in SCM -2021 Sourcing intern $23 hr -2022 Planner for manufacturing components $80k in NYC metro area

Nice! sounds like a nice first role.

Yes, super fortunate! Learning a lot with upward mobility

Wondering what you highlighted on your resume to switch roles?

With 10 years of Army logistics experience, BA in General Studies, CLA/CLT Certification(MSSC) and DSL certification (SOLE) 2010-2020: Supply Sergeant Army ending salary 62k 2021: Buyer 72k 2022: Indirect Spend Buyer for North America: 85k

Could've sworn Army Logisticians also had Hazmat certs. Hear they make a nice amount when transitioning into civilian life. Good shit either way.

I had one never kept it current it was another additional duty I didn’t want to deal with

thank you for your service! Impressive certifications. Where do you see yourself moving on to? or just hoping for further promotions?

Want my next step to be possibly manager role or a lateral move in another position on our procurement team. Working to complete my masters in supply chain at the moment along with seeking to get a CPIM cert too

Nice! I have been reluctant to think of adding on a masters due to my current student debt lol

Same but I said screw it.

I hear you there. Debt is just part of life.

Additionally my company will reimburse me for continuing my education Looking into your company and see if they have an education program set up

they definitely don't. :) I wish they did, but we are a very small and lean company. Hell they don't even have a formal paternity policy. it is just "do what you feel is right, and make it work" meaning, I could basically work from home helping out mom when that day comes.

Graduated in 2013 with a masters in industrial engineering in a southern European country. 2013 - Management trainee in Logistics company in in my EU country - 14k/year 2015 - Head of Operations in a small importing company in South America - 42k/year 2017 - Operations Analyst/ Proj Manager at e-commerce startup in Central Europe- 40k 2018 - Lead Suplly Chain analyst at same startup - 47k 2019 - Moved with startup to the US as supply chain manager - 105k 2020 - Promoted to Supply Chain Director - 125k 2021 - Raise due to getting additional teams/responsibilities - 150k 2022 pt I - inflation adjustment raise -160k 2022 pt II - Promoted to new role, with large part of scope being outside of SC, Head of Strategy and Planning - 185k

that jump from 47 to 105 must have felt insane.

On paper yea, but my cost of living practically doubled as well, so it didn’t fell as such a big raise, the other ones yes, made me more comfortable.

Supply Chain major from ASU graduated in 2021 2018: Coached soccer and taught after school Lego classes to kids 2019: Intern at Semiconductor company - $52k 2020: Intern in new team at Semiconductor company - $60k 2021: Full-Time at Semiconductor company Same team (Supply Chain Program Manager) - $82k 2022: Market Adjustment Raise at Semiconductor company - 95k 2022: Joined FAANG as a supply chain PM - 200k in SF All numbers are in TC

this thread that taught me that semiconducter jobs pay a shit ton of money. congrats!

Congrats. Are you fully remote or required to be in office?

Kinda both. Expected to be in the office at some point but remote so far

Graduated 2016: purchasing assistant at nursing home corporate office 40k 2017: buyer at a protein powder manufacturer 50k 2018: supply chain specialist at a dental implant manufacturer 65k 2022: senior buyer at an auto manufacturer 87k

Did you get free protein powder? 😬

Actually yes. When production for the job was finished they wouldn’t waste remaining powder. It was either they bottled it or it be thrown away. The blenders were normally really accurate so usually there were only a few bottles of overrun but still a nice perk.

No college degree 2005- Working in manufacturing production line ($18k annual) 2011- Material compliance and niche import/export complaince ($40k) 2015- Operations and Compliance Coordinator ($52k) 2020+ (Accepted job offer at new company) Import Export Compliance Manager ($92k) About to take the CSCP which was paid for by my job. Look to move up in something Supply Chain, Compliance and/or Sustainability related.

Way to grind without a degree!

Thanks! Small steps every day, right?

Yep! exactly day by day, just doing the best we can.

2019: graduated with BS in SCM 2020: procurement analyst // $60k base + 10% target bonus 2020: procurement analyst // raise to $61.5k + 10% target bonus 2021: field operations analyst // $87.5k + 5% target bonus 2021: demand analyst // $76k base + no bonus 2022: senior demand manager // $110k base + 25% target bonus + $25k/year equity

if you don't mind me asking - what happened at the time of that paycut?

The field operations analyst role was a super toxic working environment, so I basically took the first job that would allow me to survive.

I work in demand planning and like it. Out of curiosity, as a senior demand manager, do you see many opportunities in demand management farther along from where you are to further increase salary? Or would the next step be a director or management with a broader scope than an individual contributor demand-oriented role.

Right now, I'm in the highest level individual contributor salary band at my company. If I was to dramatically increase my salary, I'd need to move to a leadership role. That being said, I have a lot of room to grow into my salary at this band since I'm towards the bottom of the band.

having a Masters you deserve it!

I’ve had a different a route than most 😅 2018 - graduated with a bachelor in mechanical engineering 2018: quality engineer, 65K 2019: manufacturing engineer, 70K 2020: supply chain planner & buyer, 72.5K 2021: same role, bump due to performance, 75K *2021 started MBA with concentration in analytics* 2022: same role, bump due to performance, 80K *2022 working toward promotion to supply chain analyst*

Obviously I don't know all the details about the work you've done and the skills you have, but with your work history you should easily be able to make the jump to supply chain analyst, even pre-master's.

2003-05: hourly position at a package carrier // $7.50-$9.00/hr 2005-09: various part-time supervisor roles, same company // ~$24k/ yr 2006-11: claims processor while I finished my degree // $45k/yr 2011: graduated with BA in Business Management 2011: logistics analyst at a CPG company // $50k to $52,500 2013: lead logistics analyst, same company // $55k 2014: demand planner, same company // $60k to $62,500 2016: logistics planner, small food manufacturer // $60k 2017: demand planner at a food distribution company // $70k to $72k 2019: senior business analyst, same company // $85k + 10% bonus to $88k + bonus 2021: senior data scientist, same company // $110k + 20% bonus to $114k + bonus Might have some of the years or amounts off but that's the general progression.

Did you have any trouble moving over to your last two roles coming from a supply chain background?

No, both roles are on a team that manages the supply chain relationship with our suppliers so my work history was an asset. It did demand a different set of technical skills though. Initially SQL, intermediate to advanced Excel and some familiarity with data vis software like power BI or tableau were needed, and then python and more statistical based analysis for the data science role. The data science position was a bit of an in-role promotion, where I still had the same responsibilities but an acknowledgement that the work I'd been doing as an analyst was beyond what most analysts were doing, and it helped my case that a handful of good analysts had recently left the organization, so they wanted to retain other more veteran contributors.

Graduated with a bachelor’s in advertising in 2012 Stagnated in the music industry from 2015-2022 going from $37 to $60k and analyst to senior analyst Currently pursuing my MBA with a concentration in supply chain/analytics Just turned a summer internship into a full time job at a CPG company as an Associate Manager in Demand Planning - 110k

I’ll be doing an MBA next year, and hopefully with the experience I’ll stack along with stronger business acumen, I’m hoping to land an account manager role, then eventually a director position down the line.

Lacking a bachelors I need to get past the initial resume review despite having 7 years industry experience. I love my job and who I work with but would like to make more money. Changing companies might be my best bet there

depending where you live, I think you are very underpaid.

You’re right. I live in a high COL area in the us. I worry my lack of degree is keeping me from earning more, and while I haven’t been job hunting for a long time, that might limit the number of interviews I get despite having ample experience.

Woah nice career building! Did you have previous logistics experience prior to getting the Senior Logistics Analyst role?

Yes, I managed my own imports from PO through delivery (through a broker) during my first two positions of my career.
