Have you found that companies without many ex consultants still value the experience similarly to companies with ex consultants

It is an easier sale and transition if the interviewer or hiring manager comes from consulting. I often find my consulting story and value it brings do not resonate if s/he comes from or grows up in the industry. The perspectives and what they are looking for are different. One with solid consulting experience from a reputable shop tends to do well professionally for the right role and experience is often valuable and you know it (but it is not always valued by others.)

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission.
