Evaluating a potential return to consulting after 1 year in a PE backed operator role. Question is: which firms would be worthwhile, and what comp should I expect in Manager role? Current comp: $165k base, $33k annual bonus, ~$500k in RSU’s (40% at exit in 2023/24, 60% time vested over 5 years). Current role in $200m revenue business managing 3 direct reports and multiple strategic work streams. Would aim to return to consulting at Manager level, interviewing currently with Bain, Deloitte, LEK.

Idk why you would come back to consulting to be a partner’s bih. Go run another department. You could go to industry & own a P&L.

We hire a lot of people like you. Manager equivalent comp would be in the 300-350 range. But im sure you can negotiate.

Absolutely.

Answer to why: people (great relationships at former consulting firm) and breadth of exposure across complex orgs (not just middle market operation.

Go with Bain, and not just saying this cause I work there 😉

PS: did you put anyone down as a referral name?

Deloitte M comp is like 180 base and 30% bonus. It's unlikely that makes financial sense.

Correct SC1. Comp range is 150-160 for SC
