Hi all,

I recently volunteered to become a mentor for students at the University of Washington, and got paired with a student interested in Operations and supply chain management. I work in assurance at PwC, so don’t really know much about OPS/MSCM. We got matched because I was a Financial Econ major and she’s interested in that.

Does anyone have any info/advice on the career options in OPS/MSCM, or finance fields? Maybe like what your job is, what you do, do you like it, suggestions, etc?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Care to define OPS/MSCM? I googled it and the first and only relevant link that came up was your A71 post…sorry if I am just a newb.

@CPjAson – I also work for PwC and I actually work only in Assurance Operations – I just switched in December and really am liking this side of things. I've also worked over the years with some people who deal with Project Management / Supply Chain Management in our advisory practice. PwC definitely has the opportunities to explore these types of roles – just need to find the right people to connect with.

For operations management I can offer advice from a distribution perspective. I'm an operations manager for a distribution company and absolutely love it. Studying for CPA to move in to finance with same company (hopefully).
