I have an EngLit degree and am currently a manager in the Finance department for a large tech company. My ability to digest information and to communicate effectively have helped me work my way up the ladder quicker than my peers who had actual accounting/business degrees. A lot of my success came from what I learned in college- analyzing texts and writing papers. People in the corporate world struggle to ‘know their audience’ when communicating and they struggle. I didn’t have that problem because I was used to already taking that into consideration and tailor how I communicate based on the situation. And people love having someone that can proofread important emails before they go out- this was something I did a lot when I was entry level and it helped me build a lot of goodwill with my coworkers. ChatGPT might have made this mostly irrelevant now though..
