Considering an offer in GTM/strategy/sales for an IT service line within my firm. Is this a smart move away from transformation consulting exit op wise? What is the delta in long term ops?

I’m making the same move. I believe this opens doors to opportunities outside of IT.

Here’s some of my thoughts. While I was in IT, most of my client counterparts and day to day interactions were with division managers or IT counterparts. GTM and sales strategy is often very transformative for the entire organization. This means you’ll be working across multiple departments (sales, marketing, product) and oftentimes at the highest level. I feel this gives more exposure to the entire business as a whole and potential exposure to Csuite. Given the right projects, you can much better sell yourself to be a director of sales, marketing, product, BD, etc. happy to be corrected here but a large majority of “growth strategy” involves gtm, sales, and marketing. I could see this opening potential paths to be more involved in M&A work as well.
