I’ve done dev work in java and python which I think I could expand on more! Thank you for that insight it was helpful

OP, what was your role exactly? What industry?

Business systems analyst and test manager in healthcare and life sciences. I know intermediate SQL but not an expert.

I’m in the same position as well. Thinking of going into more product management but wouldn’t mind delving down into code. What kind of code would you folks recommend? Analytics focused, automation or some hybrid front end/back end?

Is your experience all in consulting? Because that is different, industry experience from "functional" sense, is 10000x better than consulting. But, you'll be OK

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?
