Have a consulting offer for sr. consultant but not quite the level I want (aiming for manager). Would a chief of staff offer for a CEO of a professional service firm give me any negotiation leverage?

Take the chief of staff role. You can jump into a leadership role from there if you do well, or spin it to Director at another co later

I doubt it... a chief of staff role can be highly administrative. If they’ve made up their mind about your experience through the interview process, quite unlikely they’ll change it due to another offer you have on the table

Ok, will you be the chief of staff or part of the team? If you’re the chief of staff, slightly different story. If you’re part of the team, the role will have a large element of admin

Does it make sense to stay and wait it out or should I be looking for a new job because I am being under valued?
