Generally, do you think it is wise to leave Big 4 consulting for an account executive sales position with a reputable company such as SAP?
While I realize income can come in peaks and valleys, I have friends in the industry making +$200k. Much more than seniors/associates at big four

Do you want to be a sales rep?

Exactly! The best way to resolve your dilemma is to ask yourself the question... what is that you want to do now and possibly for the rest of your life? Also... where your priorities are? Did you get into consulting just because of the paycheque? In this case moving into sales rep position should be a win for you on the premise that you get bigger paycheque.

Used to do sales and didn’t really enjoy it. Some people love it! if you like the idea of that being your career it’s a great way to make a living

I’ve worked at SAP and can vouch that they are a good company.

That said, they have large layoffs in the US often, even in good climates.

Do your research and know what you are signing up for.

Guarantee you that you won’t make 200k at SAP coming out as an SC.

Agree, and no way in hell would I join as an AE in this environment. Sales is the first positions to get cut

I posted an opening on my team on my LinkedIn. I’m not the hiring manager. Someone I do not know reached out and said she knew someone for the job. She passed along the resume. I asked if she applied online and said I was happy to put her resume in front of the hiring manager. The person let me know her contact had not applied, and had questions. So, I should emailed her. Is this normal? I was a little out off because if I was the candidate I would reach out myself.

As someone with about 4 years of Data and analytics experience but not a lot of python experience, what sort of exits would you suggest?

We go from a project to project where we like some more than the others, but can’t pin point to what the next job should be. Anyone else in the same boat / can provide any insight?

Any idea what salary I should ask for?
