Folks who joined Corporate Strategy Director/Principal roles in F500 companies post consulting - what has been your experience? Given how lean these teams are, I believe you are playing an IC role majority of the time. What does the career ladder look like? Also, if you don't end up liking the role, are your exits equally attractive as they were upon leaving consulting? Or do you get boxed into that particular industry?

Yes. It’s mostly IC at my firm for our group. And most of the people on my team either move to another group, to hopefully get into a P&L ownership role or leave.
And exits we had one person leave for a COO role for a FT75 company. And another was offered a MD role at one of the Big4

I had recently accepted an offer from PwC India.

I am required to apply on the Workday portal for that. But when I login , I see "Offer Accepted" in my profile.

Though I am able to fill for the PwC AC job...
My question is if I apply for it, will they get to know about my PwC india offer and they will rescind my PwC India offer as well as not proceed with the PwC AC Interview?

Pls help🙏🏾🙏🏾
