D1 Got it- thanks for clarifying. As M1 mentioned I think director at consulting firm typically comes here at L65. I’m not sure what high means to you (all relative).

My advice is consistently to come to tech as quickly as you can if tech is your goal. You learn our ways and skillsets faster- which differ significantly from consulting. Particularly mgmt consultants end up disappointed to learn building PowerPoint decks is not a skill we value super highly. Plus all of tech stock is up at least 2x in past four years- get in on the growth

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!
