Bruce McNamer, head of global philanthropy for JPMorgan Chase and CEO of JPMorgan Chase Foundation, says it’s possible to get more experience faster in the private sector.

The intersection of the public and private sector will offer increasing opportunities in coming years, and contemplating a career there — as opposed to 20 years ago — doesn’t require that you say you’re solely going to gain experience on one side or another.
