I'm "at a tech company" making $250K on ~20 hrs / week.
No tech background is needed if you have strong generalist strategy skills in areas like revenue growth and marketing effectiveness.

Fwiw I took a role that reduced my base to $225k and reduced actual work to ~25 hours per week. I knew the work would be mundane and I was good with that due to the ability to pursue more hobbies , etc. 2 years later I’m going out of my mind, bored as hell. It was a nice break, but I’m going back to consulting.
I never in a million years thought I’d make the change back, but underestimated the need for stimulation and growth potential consulting provides. I thought hobbies and hanging out with friends would be enough, but even my friends noticed the change in my personality. Maybe that says something sad about me as a a person, but it is what it is I guess.

I took an internal corporate functions role. Found it on the careers site. I’ve found a few opportunities that panned out over the years on that site.
F500 corporate strategy maybe, but still could be 50h/week on occasion

Of course. There are plenty of corporates with lower pay that never ask anyone to work more than 40 hours.
Can you tell me your comp split? I am looking for similar roles coming from a big 4. What is your base/bonus? You don’t need to share the company. I am in FS and looking to benchmark comp.
260 base, remaining mostly cash bonus, small stock bonus
TC>500. Hours <30, sometimes <20…some companies are slow…
