Senior consultants exist i lm strategy but its just for newly hired Post-MBA. Still considered the same “grade”.
In other parts of the business (eg tech) there are associate managers that function somewhat as a mid level between consultant and manager.
This is helpful thank you, I'm looking at applying to a role at Consultant grade but would be looking at Senior Consultant at other companies. Any advice how to phrase the ask for the level you describe above?
It’s more like 5-6 years to manager these days but yeah we’re up or out.
2 years as an Analyst
2 years as a consultant (quick promo), most often is 3 years. 2+3 gets you to 5 yoe for most managers in strat. These days many people are doing 4 years at C because of promo backlog
Not really. I am a consultant for 5,5years and no promotion still. Every year flagged for promo and got maximum bonus (top talent). Good luck believing they will promote you within 3 years.
Year 2-3 consultants typically have an expectation of being able to run their own thing to a certain degree. It isnt 0-1 overnight.
