What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider pursuing?
I think, generally speaking, and let's just use ad tech in general, some of the entry-level positions could be things like data analysts, sales development, or marketing help. A lot of it is heavy data engineering.
My company, for example, half of our team are elite data engineers. They do try and find students who want to be on that path. However, that's very specific to engineering to get to a position like mine in sales.
I guess you could focus on sales development and marketing sides of businesses. Companies always need help reaching new clients and doing research on competitors or prospective clients.
