I currently do planning system implementation at SC level. Quite technical stuff and less PMO. What are my future career possibilities from here onwards? Can I keep progressing in the standard ladder and keep doing implementations, or is it automatically going to end up becoming more are more sales oriented and less actual implementation work? Especially interested in the SM level and above. I’d prefer staying at Big 4 and avoid the supplier side.

Anyone at B4 or in tech making over 250 TC with 12+ yoe?

I'm finding it so hard to make decent coin here.

I’m so tired of US companies hiring remote Canadian employees offering to pay a fraction of the price for the same role.
