Are those with industry offers actively recruiting or being sought? I’m finishing 1st yr post-MBA at Big 4’s strategy practice, but want to make sure I’m well positioned to jump in the next yr or 2.

I used my network. I think that's the most fruitful method. So I would recommend using the next year to reach out to and solidify relationships so you know what opportunities might be available when you're ready to make the jump.

I was recruitered. I did nothing on my end to initiate contact

My base actually went up. Bonus down slightly, but overall comp is about the same.

Depends on where you go if your base will go up or not. Your total comp will likely be higher even if salary isn’t.

I’m headed to industry next month. I accepted an equal base with a similar bonus structure, a ton of options and about 1/3 as much travel for one an average of 1-2 nights when I have to travel. Oh and I calculated it out, I’ll have an additional 6k per year in income since most benefits and premiums are covered by the company. For an equilivent amount of health insurance I’ll literally be paying $450 less per month

Not consulting based, purely business operations driving the function that’ll I’ll be leading.

I had opportunities that were internal consulting like but I passed on those because it’s just not what I wanted to do. Therefor my search for a high impact / strategic position took a while and I really had to sell it that I was qualified. It helped that one of my interviews was with the CEO and he’s a former partner from a different firm. He gets what it’s like to be a consultant and the skills you develop and learn, not everyone does though

Just not sure if they’re using recruiting firms, actively applying, etc.

@op what are you at now $?

In the $140-150 base range. Am I wrong to expect that the base will drop when I go to industry, regardless of when I jump?

Awesome D1 and S&1! Did you both end up in an internal consulting/strategy type role? Or were you able to jump past that immediately?

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-
-Free Trial
-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
