I had a call with them about a year ago. Pay was significantly lower than my current comp.

@Strategy Manager 1

Do you remember the overall comp structure for the principal role?

To update - Comp was way too low ($130k base for “consultant” level) and for a firm that hyped up its WLB they still said a steady 50-60hpw, which IMO isn’t enough to flex.

The work seemed interesting and truly strategic, so it would be a good option for somebody who wants to work remotely out of a smaller city that most firms don’t operate in.

Good to know, thanks for sharing!

Ive heard good things. Fully remote and pretty sure hours are very managable

OP, would be interested to hear how your conversation with them goes as well - they reached out to me about a year ago and I was happy with the firm I was at at the time
