Tech is big about individual contributor roles. I assume you are in Big 4 consulting. Some Ms and virtually all SMs usually delegate almost all their hands on work in those firms and focus on business development and upward management. That’s not how tech works. If you think the work is SC or C level work, you likely will not be a fit for the role.

Thanks SM1. I’ve always been known as a pretty hands on manager and it actually may work better for my personality type. Just wanted to understand the context. Been working in consulting my whole life (for various reasons), so trying to understand better what to expect in the industry now. Really appreciate your insights.

...more junior than what I do now especially given I have good chances for the SM promotion next year. It’s pretty much the work C and SC would do on my team, individual contributor. On the other hand I really want to gain different experience (never worked in the industry), travel less, work closer to the product, and earn more. The roles range from project manager to system and data controller (which is similar to technical PM) from what I understand). Is it normal when you switch to the industry role? I have 12 YOE and live in SF.

What’s the comp range? If it’s a big bump, I’d take it. I’m assuming you’re being considered for L5 roles

Real question is are you okay with a 40% raise to now be an IC?

40% raise? What level and what sort of TC?

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.

I’ve been in my position for 5 months now. I make $27 hourly which amounts to about $51,000 yearly. Am I being under paid? Are all coordinator positions hourly? As a laboratory researcher I was salary :(

How do I go about asking for a raise or should I explore other companies or medical schools that have clinical research?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
