Procurement Specialist
 

Wow, I didnt know that procurement people can command such high annual salary. I am in procurement also, but my annual salary is less than half of yours...

Go for black belt (go for full six sigma certification). If i am an employer looking at improving my supply chain etc, i will hire and pay more to someone with master black belt than a MBA grad.

Simple, black belter can deliver what I want.

However, doing MBA at some point should be under your consideration probably in a few years times after six sigma.

Didn't know procurement is more lucrative than engineering...

Procurem is like the opposite of sales. The job can be quantified by the savings u achieve.
Not sure bout engineering. I dun think most engineering jobs can say the same

Can anyone share with me about black belt, after getting cert, how many projects I hv to undertake to be deem as an expert?

I m female, personally dunno any female black belters :(

Seems black belt jobs are male dominated

My edu history

Engineering dip fr local poly
Business degree fr overseas.

Planning black belt by 2012? Am I late?

Anyone in Logistics?

Care to share position and salary?

I am in the industy but always feel underpaid...overworked.

I am Quality & Compliance Manager in a US third party logistics company, 31 years old with 7 year experience in supply chain.

Now on monthly 3.8k, no aws, variable bonus about 3 months.
