Advice on Transitioning to FTE Roles – Market Research/BD Background
Hi everyone,
I’m currently working as an independent consultant with a foreign firm, primarily handling Market Research/Intelligence within Business Development activities for exporting their product in US/EU. I’ve been in this role for the past 4 years, and prior to that, I worked for 3 years at an outsourcing firm doing primary and secondary market research.
I come from a Mechanical Engineering background (no MBA), but over the years, I’ve built strong experience in product research, B2B outreach, and research-driven decision support. I’m now looking to transition into a full-time position and would love to hear suggestions on:
-
Which product-based companies in India (or global firms hiring in India) would value this kind of profile?
-
Does not having an MBA significantly impact my chances in such roles?
-
Any tips for highlighting independent consulting experience during applications/interviews?
Would appreciate any guidance. Thanks in advance! 🙏
