Honest truth - I’d like to be in the 800k - $1m comp range in 8 - 10 years. But working as a non- tech PjM/PgM, I don’t know if that’s possible. Unlike in consulting/big law where there’s a defined partner track. HOW can I set myself up to get to this comp level?

About me: late 20s, 8 yoe in project mgt, PMP, CSM, non-target MBA, ex-big4 consultant.

Transferred from industry to consulting a year ago. I made the move based on the goal to become partner. I just recently found out that I would need to make partner by 50. I'm up for a manager promotion in January to manager which is one month after I turn 43. There is no way I'll make partner by 50. I know there is the MD route, but not sure why I would go that route with no pension. I have an opportunity to exit back to industry with more salary and RSU's. Should I go now or wait?

As a first year director, I think I’m ready to hang up my consulting boots and explore other opps.
