Do you feel that your skills will be outdated soon especially when you are at or above manager role in a consulting firm? I know a lot if consulting skills are life long but so much gets obsolete over time.

You should be upgrading your soft kills and keeping yourself updated on the subject matter.

Ideally your audience and their level will also change. As long as you know your stuff enough to have a good conversation with your exec client, you should be good. I know many partners can really have in-depth conversations about their area and they truly can provide strategic guidance to teams they lead.

What exactly are “consulting skills”??

like

nope - will always have fresh meat!

Which skills? As you climb the ladder, the relevant skills change. A junior person needs to have the skill to build the excel model quickly and accurately. A manager needs to have the skill to manage the building of the excel model. A partner/MD needs to have the skill to sell excel modeling projects to clients.

It doesn't make sense for the PMD to worry about their modeling ability when their job is about sales.

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer. It’s definitely going to be a pay cut coming from big law but I do get some nice equity in the company. Is the jump worth it? I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?
