I was offered a sr director role. No case - all behavioral. They're very operational and want people willing to roll up their sleeves so you need to be able to talk through ops projects at a detailed level. Not sure what firm you're coming from but they dont value pure strat or top line growth experience, focus is on cost takeout.

Also, what made you pass the offer?

I left my old job the end of January (due to compensation) and hate my new job. I don’t sleep and am constantly stressed.

They told me there would be when I left…what is the best way to go about this?

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry).

Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?

Looking to transition out of Management Consulting and going into big tech in NYC. Ideally, I would love to go in as a PMM; however I’ve heard it’s very difficult to make that jump if you don’t have a degree in engineering or CS (I’m a liberal arts graduate and in the final year of a part-time mba). Should I look to apply as a program manager role since it’s more likely my consulting experience will apply to that and see if I can transition into a PMM role from there?
