Hi all, I have recently received an entry level offer from BCG Dubai.
I have 3+ years of experience out which half in consulting and half in managerial role in corporate.

Didn't end up making the cut in Strategy consulting case interviews. Would really like to do strategy / S&O some day. I love using data to inform decision-making.

Wondering if it would make sense to continue consulting in implementation then try to pivot again in the future or at another level - or drop consulting & try to get a strategy job at a startup or maybe do something else at a larger company and try to pivot internally.

Background is tech + MBA. Any insight appreciated!

Trying to orchestrate a career pivot out of accounting. For 5 tough years self employed. Stellar ed, GPA, and past accounting roles. MBA. So smart about so many other things, but my own career/future. And so many amazing jobs I've applied for - in a sellers market. Nada. And the thought of a potential upcoming recession means, what, I will be 60 when I will have my next shot (I am 44 at the moment.) How do I keep going? Wife just gave me a 3 month notice to get out. What am I doing wrong?

So I’m currently a Sr. PM at Amazon and I’m wondering if I would be a higher or lower level title at a startup? I assume I should be a higher title (like Director or VP) since I’d be moving from a huge company to a tiny one. But other folks have mentioned that I should actually be looking for a lower level title (like PM) since the scope at a smaller company would be more broad. I’m a bit confused on this and appreciate any advice.
