Senior Director Discussions
Jobs

Thanks for adding more hoops for us to jump through. Becoming a principal in KM has always been a question mark. I've been here close to a decade now and I thought I could at least become a senior director (like AP - both the position and the person) in a few years. Now I find there's another level to grind through and burn myself out with politics to reach the top. Truly, 2022 has been a horrible year at ZS. I feel like I've returned to a totally different company after the pandemic.

I’ve gone through 4 rounds of interviews for a Product Management role at a FAANG company.

Anyone move from industry to EY-P recently? Looking at a Director or Senior Director role and wondering if anyone has offer data points

Hoping to get some thoughts on career path?

I left an agency about 1.5 years ago (content manager and prev social) to go in house (copywriter). Long story short, agency wants to offer me a senior director role. However, this isn't client facing and would be marketing for the agency itself.

I left to focus on writing. I love the company where I'm at now. The agency is small compared to my current company, but the title could be helpful later. Thoughts?

What are the exit opportunities for junior partners into industry like? Or should I jump the ship now as a early Senior Director (level below partner at EY Parthenon)?

Recently I got referred for a consultant role at BCG by a senior director of the knowledge management area (I did an internship). I applied, but after going through the application I got worried that I don’t have a GMAT score and I don’t come from a top tier school (MBA). Do you guys think I have a chance? I have good experience in pharma (+7 years commercial roles in big pharma).

Question for my fellow consulting 🐠.. have a potential industry opportunity with a 20% salary increase. Allows me to be mostly local doing stuff I like with a boss I really love. Been with the firm for about a year and am doing decently well and actually enjoy my work and like my boss. That said, don’t covet the partner track but unsure whether the move within a year is a bad choice. Currently am a director and role is a senior director..long term see myself in industry..any thoughts?

How bad is quitting after a week? Started at google in account strategy and life is nice but I realized I don’t want to do sales long term and would rather do product. However, everything is great about it other than the role.

Just got a job offer that I think could change my life (higher title, product strategy & planning, access to a senior director) at a telecom company. However, I’m happy in my current job, albiet bored. Also worried about leaving the google brand & getting blacklisted.
