I’m currently a financial analyst at an ad agency. Coming close to 2years in this role was a intern for 6 months prior at the same agency. I’m realizing I’m not enjoying the work anymore and would like to do something else. I’m looking for more of a analytical role. I’ve been thinking about being a business analyst. Can someone provide tips or advice on transitioning to a BA. Also I’ll take any advice in other roles I can transition to with my background that I may enjoy.

Less than a year into MBB and I was offered a role at a tech startup - growth analyst, working directly with execs (doesn’t mean as much for a startup of 70 people). TC is 33% higher and hours are 33% lower. Was planning to exit into tech at some point but this is earlier than I expected. Thoughts into leaving consulting so early and whether it’s a major red flag in the future?

I often hear people say not to worry about titles if the money is there. But there is a big different between title and role/responsibility. Would you jump from Sr. Manager to Manager at a different Big 4 for a significant bump in pay? In this example the titles are an apples-to-apples comparison between firms and you would be taking a step back in both title and role/responsibility/hierarchy. That is very different then going from Sr. Manager to Analyst at a company where Analysts have 10 YoE.
