OK so do I want to be an Account Manager or a Promotions & Demand Planner? Apparently, the second position could also be called a Commercial Manager. I guess this was one of the toughest decisions that I have had to take, others being whether I should get married a second time and whether I should give up the custody of my son to my ex-husband. Those stories, I leave for another post.
First, I called up DR, my ex-boss – to me she is my guide and spiritual friend and I shall always value her opinions. Then came my best friend MK – she knows me inside out and knows what keeps me happy. Finally I talked to RA – a person who has similar career path as mine in the company and is not based in Australia.
All of them and I mean each and every one of them asked me to take up the demand planning job without batting an eyelid. I was told that along with number crunching, I needed a creative outlet as well. My only problem with the second position was that it was an office based position and one that did not entitle me to having a company car. Anyway, after a bit of negotiations with Big Boss, it was all agreed – I get to keep the car and do an 8-4 office shift.
