Theoretically, “Category” = “Commodity”. They are spend categories. I doubt they are referring to retail category spend thou

IN FMCG MNC, I feel my salary is low when I look at the posts here. I have job hopped quite a bit and have started with Directs 1st.

My advice, to start in procurement, you can begin in ops as a buyer, stay 1 or 2 yrs then move on to strategy type of positions within procurement and sourcing, don't stay too long in ops. Also in your roles try to pick up many commodity knowledge and contracting even the ones you do not handle. I also find Indirects pay better in Singapore.
what kind of strategic procurement jobs out there?

I was a commodity manager for elect. for over 4 years, but I was only earning 7+k a month.
I have since switched commodity recently to IT and also changed industry. I did not suffer a pay cut .SImiliarly, apply the same common sense and eagerness to learn. Work closely with your vendors and internal stakeholders to understand what they need.

From my switch I had a 4digit pay rise and I am not technically trained I all the commodities I do. also, there seems to be a lot of jobs out there as I am frequently called up for interviews
