Hi Tyanna, Sustainability analyst in-house here in the fashion industry and previously was a sustainability consultant at a big4! This video is 100% relatable! One thing maybe worth mentioning is that switching from consulting to in-house you have the opportunity to meet with suppliers and understand their view on sustainability and how it affects the company’s decision regarding where to buy raw materials (might not be the case for all industries though).
Hi there, that’s definitely a great point! I think what’s interesting about that is depending on the company, the interaction and ask with suppliers will vary (raw materials vs finished good). Also noting which country they’re in. Sometimes there can be a language barrier!
Thanks for sharing your experiences, Tyanna. I'm more on the consulting side these days, so it's great to get the perspective of someone working in-house in today's landscape!
Ah needed this video! I’m finishing up some certifications and tying up some projects for my current sustainability analyst role for a local construction company. I am looking to advance my career to the next step and will be applying to jobs soon. This is helpful information :) thanks for making this content!!! 💚
If you don’t mind can you share some of the certifications? I’m going into this career as well and I want to make sure I have some of the needed skills.
@@yetundetaiwo4283 sure! I have tried different ones online but my favorite free platform is called Alison and it has a ton of different sustainability certifications to choose from. Great overviews of different topics!
@@yetundetaiwo4283 It depends on the type of role you want. I'd advise to look at the job requirements and work backwards from there (e.g., Sustainability Analyst role will have different preferred skills vs Sustainability Reporting role)
Hi Tyanna, I had been watching your videos and they are very helpful! I have a bachelor in Environmental Science and had been working in the energy sector for 3 years, then real estate for 8 years. Pivoting my career back to Systainability. Which of consulting or in house do you think it’s easier to get into?
Hi there, I can't speak for everyone but my thoughts is that getting into consulting will be easier than in-house, but you'd most likely have to start from the bottom if you don't already have relevant experiences. Hope this helps!
Hi Tyanna, This video is super helpful! I am currently pursuing my undergrad degree. Specifically a major in Environmental and Sustainability Studies, Certificate in business as well as minors in GIS and environmental management. Do you have any advice on how to get ahead in the job market or certain skills I should try to obtain?
