Has anyone been in a sales support role for consulting? Got a pretty decent offer and it’s supposedly internal, with good hours but I feel like they’re blowing smoke. Would appreciate any insight into sales support type roles in consulting. Helping with pursuits and whatnot

If it's purely internal, meaning non-billable, the role will be overhead and impacted directly by budgeting within the firm. Ask yourself why it feels like they're blowing smoke. Are they understating the volatility of the role? The amount of your time which will be apportioned across different orgs? Are they stating who gets priority on your time? Start with these types of questions.

I just feel like it’s blowing smoke because they’re saying they’re matching my consulting salary for an internal role so that should be enough to move. It’s M&A support only, and I’ve been in M&A roles so I’m thinking the hours at worse than they are describing. No client hours unless they want to bring me to presentation day but expectation is 100% remote. Have to decide by today unfortunately

I'm internal and would tell anyone not to do it. Doesn't matter the role.

Not sure about hours but you will likely have to undertake a lot of engagement admin - pricing, risk assessments etc

Suggest asking to speak to people in the team so you can understand a bit more of the day to day

Should I wait it out and see? How do I get connected to try different things at the company?

How soon is too soon to switch jobs? I went in-house a year ago, after five years as a MidLaw litigator. I always aim to stay at a job for at least two years, and not to move until it’s necessary; I also wanted to stay in this job for awhile as I’m still learning how to be in-house and have lots to grow. But the culture is poor and pay is average. Does it look bad to leave after 1/1.5 years? Is the stink of such a departure significantly lessened at the two year mark? Thanks in advance!

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?
