Collaborative Solutions salary for functional consultant? 3 years workday financials experience

T3 firm reached out re: direct admit to the partnership with some runway to grow the practice. I am at a firm now where there aren’t bright line metrics to make PPMD, but think I could make it in 2-5 years. This would be a step down in brand, but might be better from a WLB and getting to start at partner.

I'm new to marketing and I am not formally educated in it. I have just been learning through experience with the business.

I can't figure out if I am overthinking something simple or lacking some knowledge that people formally learn in school.
