Do foreigners (read non Anglo-Saxon countries) have any particular disadvantage in being in a client facing role (partner etc) or transitioning to industry roles in the UK? Language is no issue (native, not just fluent) but I wonder if companies tend to prefer locals

Industry is generally more reflective of the UK demographic as a whole (compared to professional services firms) i.e. expect around 90% of roles to be made up of white British. This is especially the case at the mid to senior levels. That doesn’t mean there is a preference for locals... these companies just don’t necessarily sponsor lots of visas etc. I also suspect that this is why the majority of partners at consulting firms are white British... people buy from people they like and most people tend to like people who are like them.

Most partners in most consulting are white males either Amecian or British with some continental folks in the mix.

Make what you want out of it :)

Hi. Can i ask Axtria to match the offer with 20 percent hike ? I almost have one more offer of around 10 lpa. Axtria offered 8lpa for analyst role. YOE- 1.5+.

Is it possible to get a Sr. Project Manager role or delivery lead at one of the big consulting agencies without having to travel an absurd amount and get paid 150k plus in total compensation?

Once you’ve applied via referral link to a position, does it keep you in a referral pool or do you need to constantly get a new referral link if you apply to another role say 4 months later? Curious since they only last 30 days and i feel bad asking for a link a 3rd time now…..

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:
1. Smaller firm about to be acquired by a larger one, Product Marketing role (title would be Sr. PMM)
2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!
