I graduated with an M.Sc. in International Development in 2024 and have since interned/consulted at HQ of an UN organization before returning to my home country (Germany) last year and working at a mid-sized NGO as a project manager since. Before graduation I gained experience in two NGOs (HQ and country office) as well as with GIZ.

I honestly don't see a future in this sector and would like to pivot away from it into the private sector. Has anyone here done this in recent years (especially in Europe, which seems to have more of a focus on formal academic qualification than US/Canada)? If so, how did you do it and where did you end up?
