Got an offer today for a t2 tech company. I’m a post-mba with 7 YOE at PwC (sr manager with a chance to become a director prob next year). The offer I got is for 260 TC. My mba is from a top 30 university. The role is for a sr manager title in San Francisco. I can’t really land anything outside of this and people ignore my resume when I’m trying to get into a director role. Should I just start applying to smaller f500 companies to get a higher title? Or should I use this offer to move to a t1.5?

What is a T2 tech company

like

And what is T1.5 lol.. you are thinking way too hard about tiers and title. Can you live off of what they are paying you? Do you see a growth opportunity there? If the answers are no then stay put but if this is the best offer (and you say it is) then this is your market rate and level.

I’m not super excited about the firm but it’s located conveniently for me and people are nice there. I don’t think that it will grow a lot now. It’s losing share to its main competitor, but will exist probably for a while.

7 YOE and a director at PwC? How feasible is that. If you can get promoted to the Director level next year then best to stick it out until then

You can exit right after you get promoted just as you're planning to now.

uplifting

What’s the company? That’s not super high for SF

It’s absolutely doordash

funny

How long is your runway at PwC, and what's your current TC? Is the new job what you want, just 2 years of relevant experience could help you more than 2 more years of consulting. You could probably land the same role, or one better in a year or two, but waiting that long carries risks.

Also, don't worry about the title when switching industries or functions. Focus on the money.

Your title in consulting is irrelevant in landing tech roles. They look at your skills, work experience, and YOE, and for 7 YOE, that sounds about right.

7yoe total or 7 post mba?

Post mba. And 4 years prior.

I’ve seen several people moving to big tech (not Faang) director role from big four M/SM level, especially the market is hot now. Also, if you can get promoted to director next year, why miss that
