Anyone have success applying for roles that are a good fit except the level is too junior, but during/after interviewing, you convince the hiring manager to increase the title and salary?

Nope… the opposite usually. Got downgraded quite a few times

I think it’s worth applying either way. You never know.
But no in my experience downgrade happens early on at recruiter level. Even if role is not stretch based on listed required experience sometimes they still downgrade me because my title is Associate

I got lucky and this happened to me. Was desperate to get out and applied to a junior role, when they gave me the offer they increased the title so that it would be a lateral move. In reality it was just good timing because the person in my role left the team while I was interviewing.

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

Taking my shot in tech sales. Consulting was great experience but enjoyed the relationship and BD aspect more and didn’t see myself climbing to partner. Starting in a junior BD Rep role to learn prospecting and earn quota history. Took a big paycut for the potential future earnings as an Account Exec. Did I dun goof? Probably. But I’ll regret it forever if I didn’t take my chance now when I’m still single and young-ish.

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
