What kind of roles can an experienced market researcher expect to fulfil in FMCG companies? Brand manager?

Can one expect remuneration to increase significantly if he/she jumps over to client side?

If you can jump into brand or pricing manager level in top FMCGs they should be able to pay 12-16k depending on portfolio.

very rare for people with research background to go into brand/pricing manager.
most stay within research, even after switching to client side.

I would say they are minority ~25%, but not really rare.

Wow so even an average performer only needs 4 to 6 years to reach Senior Manager!? That's like mid 20s for female & foreginers and late 20s for local males with NS.
