Are finance business systems analyst roles at top SaaS companies (Google, Amazon, Meta) considered dead-end or a good exit from implementation consulting? What is the trajectory/possible to move to CTO/leadership eventually from these roles?

Responsibilities include requirements gathering with Finance/Engineering/Product stakeholders, identifying business process improvement opportunities, system configuration, tech stack input, etc

It’s a back office function

200k TC offer with 2YOE, not concerned about “back office” or “front office.” More concerned about trajectory/path. Application management has to be done by someone and could be more interesting than implementing the same solutions at new companies.

Currently exited consulting to one of these roles at and the trajectory exists but like any org it’s very funneled to the top with limited spots available for advancement, but they do exist and are pretty good imo. Making it to the top likely a CIO role

Sure dm me

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Hi, I applied for a BFSI domain consultant position at TCS through Linkedin. Next day two people took my interview and said they are good to go with my profile. I might have one more tech round and HR will contact. After 4-5 days HR sent Ibegin link to create my profile and update details. Then it's been 3 weeks no other update. Whenever I contact the person who took my interview he keep saying its in process please wait. Is it normal procedure in TCS? How long usually takes.

Currently a big 4 consultant and got an offer from FAANG for a strategy and ops role that would bring my total comp up 60%.

It has always been a goal of mine to work for tier 1 strategy firm as I’ve always felt on the outside looking in at big4. I feel like most exit ops from strategy would be S&O industry roles but still can’t get these MBB firms out of my mind. Am I just overthinking this?
