Not industry specific; I do a variety of projects you could categorize as commercial excellence and wondering if moving to corporate strategy would be the right move

If for the $$$, do it.
If for career growth, think twice. Did it at Manager level. Most skills I used in management consulting were not valid/needed in strategy consulting. Focus is more on problem solving and data analysis. My industry experience hardly mattered. Also, depending on the company, people may look down upon someone coming in from big4. I know it sucks, but noticed the elitist culture in some colleagues. Definitely get an idea of the culture before you make the jump.

J&J or Google? I’m in final stages and expecting an offer on both ends. TC seems about the same but J&J is based in Skillman, NJ whereas Google is in Austin, TX. Non tech roles in the same domain - Main difference is that J&J seems to be a higher level role (senior manager) whereas Google is a more junior one (lead). Any advice?
