Senior Manager Discussions
Jobs

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 a closely held tax senior manager for a partner position in NYC. Message if interested.

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!

Got an offer at McKinsey Transformation. How’s the day to day? What are exit opps like?

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?

How is Supply chain strategy team at Walmart? Is the work exciting? Applying for Senior Manager II role.

Fortunate to be deciding btw 3 offers and trying to decide what offer to go with. I don’t want comp to be part of the discussion at all because I’ve made some pretty bad moves in the past purely based on going with highest comp offer.

I’m doing my final round interviews with Strategy& PEVC group for Senior Manager role. They mentioned it would be a case interview. Any idea what to expect? Is it like post MBA case interview where you are asked to build a framework, shown a ton of charts etc etc?

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?

GPS 1st year Senior Manager with Deloitte, state, higher Ed and local practice, home grown, tech. Ideas on potential exit opportunities? What firms, roles,

Hello fishes,
Need an advice. YOE is 18 and present role is Program manager and present CTC is 25LPA. CTS is offering Senior manager position but CTC package is yet to be discussed. Alreday have another offer with HCL for 35LPA. How much shall I demand CTS for a counter offer. ?

Hi folks, need some advice choosing between offers received from Accenture, Deloitte and Wipro. Role level is similar at senior manager equivalent (similar level as my current role). Accenture and Deloitte offering 20% raise and Wipro about 30% plus they have higher bonus component so pay wise Wipro has highest offer.

Deloitte and Accenture had very long interview process and especially Deloitte which took too long. Slightly confused what will be good for me. I am into technology consulting.

Accenture 🐠 , a SM I worked with previously wants to refer me for a role. A former classmate referred me to Accenture a few months back for different roles. Can this SM still refer me? His opinion should have some sway so I am hoping to leverage him.

What role in consulting at Pwc is a Vp at Barclays in strategy and transformation equivalent to? SM or director?

Would you be willing to forego a title for a significant compensation bump? Currently a Senior Manager but the role is a Manager...

For those that have left the Big 4 as a Senior Manager (Tax) and went in-house, do you regret it? Anything you wish you knew or you would share with someone that’s in a similar position? I love the work but the volume/lack of work-life balance is not something I’m okay with right now. I recently had a kid and want to spend time on weekend and nights without feeling guilty or a pay cut.

A couple days ago was emailed by my SM who cc: another SM and our MD on the account. They were thanking me for all the hard work I’ve been doing. Our MD said it was great to see a new team member playing such an important role. I replied bla bla. They then talked about how they world set up time to talk about my future on the project. For context I’m a campus hire 3months in on a tech implementation. I don’t see myself on this project long term doent align with my end goals. Should I express

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?

What is a realistic % increase in salary when switching to another company with career level bump? In final negotiations for EY Advisory Senior Manager role (and currently Accenture S&C Manager). Is a 20% increase too much to aim for?

EY 🐠, is it normal to have only 2 interviews and get an offer after a week? I have had 2 b2b interviews in one day, both went great with a SM and M. I think I am fairly under qualified for the position but received an offer. Any thoughts on lack of communication with the recruiter, yet receiving an offer? If anyone is willing to DM I can provide more details and seek further feedback
