Some organizations will want campaign experience, others look for outsiders. Some people will tell themselves that they’re open to people with lots of different experiences when what they optimize for a specific skill while others will actually just take risks on people and fire the ones who don’t work out. In other words, there’s a large degree of randomness, so don’t get too hung up on any one thing. In fact, the most successful organizations will have folks from a wide range of disciplines, not just people from campaigns or political science programs.
