Managing Director

What is an MD (accenture) equivalent role at a FAANG company, what title should I look for?

I'm 35, have 2 kids and at least 2 years away from Senior Manager. No debt. Really want to pursue an MBA. I want to afford myself the opportunity to move up in banking to a D/MD role. Is it worth it??

Has anyone here made the decision to move from consulting to medicine? Lately I have been feeling a need to truly help people and am wondering if an MD can position me to work and eventually lead in state health where I’d be able to work on large public health initiatives, similar to Deborah Birx’ experiences

Anyone got the skinny on Alix consulting? Got pinged by a recruiter for an MD role in digital transformation He claims they compete with MBB and Alvarez. Thoughts?

I’m in a really good position at my firm - leading sales, huge internal initiatives, have greats sponsorship to make Managing Director in the next few years and have a good upward career in the structure. While I have thus far been very successful with sales, the “way the sausage is made” around selling, over promising, solutions that don’t align with my personal world view (ie unneeded mass labor reductions) are starting to chafe.

What’s are the good exit ops out of PE? After 3 years in consulting, I can see myself grinding in PE for 2-3 years. But I have no ambitions to become MD or partner.

I am switching from current MD position to Partnership this year. I have been taking firm’s tax preparation services. I am curious to learn from this group if it is common to use firm’s tax services for Partner taxes or an outside tax consultant. My asset situation isn’t complex (couple of US and international properties in home country).

I’ve been given the opportunity to lead a highly visible effort at my firm. It involves interacting with many people at the MD level and C suite level. It’s definitely a stretch role in terms of strategy, planning, and managing but the actually delivery is work that I’ve done my entire career. What scares me is how visible the role is and what it may mean if I fail. Many high ranking people are involved and the firm has a target it needs to meet that I’d be responsible for ensuring they do...

Question: Theoretically, what kind of raise (percentage) or benefits would you need to leave a role where you have *relatively* good work, a good team and great work/life balance, with the consideration that money, location and family/personal affairs aren’t issues? My MD is pushing for me to get a 15% raise in my current role, but I know I’m worth at least 35% more than my current comp.

Choosing between three firms , role is tax manager all are same pay. What’s the best choice? : 1. Local firm $15mm in revenue, really clicked with the MD. Seems like it would not be hard to make partner 2. Local Firm $7-10mm revenue, 4 partners , 2 retiring soon , MD is a saint 3. Regional firm $67mm revenue , 350 employees. Option to work remote fully, could live anywhere , just have to go to the office 4 weeks a year (could move to LCOL area and invest in real estate)

Want to request a LoA due to stress of not having infant and toddler in daycare (recent positive covid cases at their school) while meeting high expectations of my role. Need time off to care for them til my parents recover from minor surgeries so they can help. Wife and I are tag teaming now but her job has more upside in growth than mine so it’s on me. Is this a valid excuse? MD doesn’t have kids and can’t empathize at all about my situation. How do I message this to him effectively?

Curious for other 🐠 opinions. I have a friend looking to move firms and he is a Global Director overseeing international teams. But his company’s titles are more like banking, where the levels are: analyst<Manager<VP<SVP<Director<SD<MD<C-level. How would he convey that on his resume if he is looking at a role in a more traditional company? So if he was to move up for the next job it would a SVP.

Daily Rate for Associate role in a Big 4? Looking for some guidance. Considering dropping from the Partner/MD treadmill for “expert” “grey hairs” role. What’s people’s experience and daily rate?

It’s like watching my MD reject my factual data/story, tell the client whatever they want to hear and then exit conference room left. I go back to the client daily reality. The execs rejoice.
