B4 to FAANG Exit opp question: Would an advisory consultant for AWS role be a step down from my current role as a Manager at a Big4 firm? What have others transitioned to from the same level at B4?

I should add, I went from being a B4 manager to an individual contributor. I doubled my compensation and have the ability to make decisions and take actions in my current role that only partners could at B4.

There are exactly six people between me and Jeff compared to B4 which had a senior manager, a director, a managing director, and about 10 levels of partners to our global CEO. We don't have leadership opportunities like B4 because we don't need them. The way Amazon operates allows people to act autonomously with more authority and less direction.

Our roles don't map to consulting, so probably not. AWS, and Amazon in general, has about half the layers of management that B4 and MBB do, so leadership roles don't come at lower levels like they do in consulting

Question, if you pay off your house isn’t a 100k salary more than enough to sustain a good lifestyle? My goal has always been to payoff my mortgage then find a really easy analyst role to sustain my expenses. Assuming I’m a director/VP by the time my mortgage is paid off I’d probably be able to do an analyst 40hr week in like 10hrs. Esp at some of these low expectation companies. What do y’all think about this plan?

Any craft beer brewers here?

In the last two year I’ve gotten more and more into alcohol free beer. The selection in my country (Europe) is still small and mainly driven by the big brands (e.g. Heineken). My idea is to start my own small brewery which only produces alcohol free beer as a bit of a pendant to the booming local craft beer industry. Any thoughts on that idea or someone who has experience in the market?
