I’m in a niche area of consulting - economic development strategy (includes workforce development and community impact). If anyone knows of consulting firms and industry companies that have growing teams in this area please share. Exploring an exit within the next 12 months for a senior manager or director level opportunity.

Looking for advice. Joined my current firm few months back (6 to be precise). When I joined I was put into a internal role as a lead. I work with 2 SMs having 2 diff goals. In due time I showed interest into taking up the role of one SM as a career progression since he is moving out. But to my surprise the outgoing SM supported the other leads for that role internally but on face value supported me. I am from consulting and for the past few weeks I expressed interest to my career coach contd.

Sharing for transparency…I left my strategy consulting job for a corporate strategy role at a large industrials company. At the senior manager level, I was offered 180 base and 20% bonus target. The base was comparable to what I made in consulting and bonus is probably a bit lower (but varies by year, last year my bonus in consulting was basically nothing). I’m sharing because when I was recruiting I wasn’t sure it was possible to find a role like this and I’m glad I was wrong!

Currently in industry at M and up for SM promotion next year with good trajectory into operating role. So pay is similar to associate but much better WLB.

Is it worth the jump?

3 years ago was recruited away from D to a PE portfolio company to run M&A and other strategy work. Things have gone well and company is prepping for exit. Thinking about going back to consulting after exit: what options are out there? I left D as an M and would only consider returning as “senior” SM or higher. Who else is hiring at higher levels in M&A? What does starting comp look like for SM (or equivalent) role?

Ever get annoyed when your friends/acquaintances at FAANG say you should probably apply to SM role than the PPM role because they think PPM is too far out for them? Like why do they ask you to apply to a smaller role when you know you’re 100% capable of the PPM because working with D as a Manager about to become SM might mean you already might’ve meant you dealt with more challenges and trends in the market? Or, is it just me?

I’ve been through 5+ weeks of interviews with a company that will IPO next year and they did a bait and switch on me with the offer: it was advertised as “Head of” and then during the offer-walk-through-meeting today they said “oh btw we changed the title to ‘Senior Manager’ for this role”. They offered me a salary I made 4 years ago as a manager. They offered stock options with an exercise price TBD 1 year from now…which is when they’re hitting IPO. Is that normal for stock options?
