Not sure if you have already taken up the scholarship. But a good check would be to see how many ex-
PSA folks are now in CPG firms via linkedin. It is UNLIKELY that your experience at
PSA operations is directly translatable to CPG ops.
I assume you have already tried applying to CPG? The best time to try is when you are a fresh graduate. In your first 1-2 years, HR can consider you as a fresh graduate. If you stay beyond 2 years in
PSA ops, your experience will likely be a disservice during CPG application. If you dont get in Unilever or P&G on your first try, I suggest you can gofor the lower-tier CPGs, gain some experience, then try again.
50K can seem like a lot right now but I suggest you think hard about your career trajectory (refer to Linkedin again). Make sure you collect sufficient datapoints to prove or disprove your assumptions!
