Anyone familiar with the Chief of Staff role? What YOE would it be most relevant for? Would it be considered a good exit for a strategy consultant aiming for senior management?

In some companies a chief of staff role is the right hand of a ceo and very strategic (usually in line for a director position). You're job usually consists of getting the entire exec committee engaged and aligned. Usually you'd have a couple projects as well. In other companies it's really a glorified EA. If the former you'd want 5-10 YOE.

Yeah. I’ve seen that at hospitals where a COS ( usually a director) moves to a VP role under that C suite after 3-5 years. It’s a proving ground for lots of up and coming leaders. Another role is Director’s of Special Projects

like

There are also COS roles for large firms (at banks) where you’re on the “COS” team for a c suite exec. I think they do more transformation related projects

So for someone with 3 YOE this sounds like a fairly attractive exit then?

Could be a good way to get in and network with the senior leaders and have them place you.
