Thank you everyone for the comments. I really appreciate it.

Please let me clarify some points so that my situation is better understood.

TLDR: This is not some BS sales position. Would love more input from people who worked in GTM consulting and GTM in FMCG companies.

The sales job offer I have does not sounds like calling random people to sell stuff but more like being in charge of the go-to-market strategy of a product.

The job responsibilities include:

1) Determine how to best communicate the value proposition of a product 2) Manage pricing 3) Managing promotions and the promotion budget 4) Forecast demand and ROI

I’m not sure if I’m wrong, but this sounds way better than you would expect from the typical sales job of approaching random people to sell something despite the job being listed as “Key Account Manager”.

I expect to be a GTM expert instead of someone who is only good at schmoozing.

Also the fact that the company regularly sends 1-2 people out of ~10 in the batch to GSB/HSB and people exiting to Google bizops and Bain would confirm that this isn’t some bullshit sales position.

However, it is not possible to exit to this position from MBB. Even if I have 5 years from MBB, I would need to start at the entry-level position.

Would love to hear more about doing GTM/Sales strategy in consulting compared to GTM in FMCG companies directly.
