For the senior consultants transitioning back into industry, what level roles are you going after? Manager, Senior Manager, Director? I’m a senior consultant 5 years industry experience, 3.5 years consulting ( Ops and Strategy at Slalom). I feel like before 2025 I could have easily transitioned to a director role upon exit, but those opportunities are few now. What level roles are you exiting to?

I’d be wary of any company that is upgrading a senior consultant to a “director” role at a reputable company. Directors manage teams of senior managers, and typically have a large people tree underneath that. I’m not aware of any consulting firm that has senior consultants operating at that level. Unless Slalom has changed their hierarchy drastically during your great layoff, good luck at aiming for the moon. It has happened before but it probably isn’t normal. I mean people win the lotto or hit the jackpot at slot machines, why not you.

Titles aren’t created equal. You won’t be a director at any large enterprise.

I exited to Corp Strat at f500 at post mba level, I am a manager. Could also be SR. Manager,

I work with a ex mbb manager level who’s a director.

Given you’re at slalom you’ll need to aim lower

Manager at your experience. If you’re committed with good progress & accomplishments, senior manager within 2 to 3 years.

I am ex-consulting and was Fortune 50 for +10 years. All hires that I saw with your experience were either managers and occasionally analysts.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
