Advice: I have a Bachelors in Computer Science but currently working in the IT Audit industry for about year and half now. I want to move to a Consulting role that's a bit more technical but not heavy on programming. Any suggestions? ( Been looking into Cloud, Workday, SAP, etc but not sure what type of role to apply for)

From what I read in other comments here: moving at low grade is easier than doing it at higher one. Especially if you want to change your sector.

There is not a real timeframe where to leave.
If you are near a promotion, it could be better wait a little bit for it and than switch.
If it is within the company and you are close to your manager, it could be useful to give him some hint about your desire to change.

But there is no a blueprint that will give you better outcome

Why not go to deloittes consulting implementation teams, where you can deliver SAP, Workday, etc?

I talked to few people but the answer I usually get is, I need to be in my current role for some time then try to move.

Why do people want to do implementation work?

Depends on the length of project. Boring can be nice as it generally means you get some WLB. Like I said, haven’t been involved in implementation in awhile. I usually get moved to a new project after design.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university.

Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
