Hey Fishes,

Can anyone share their experiences after leaving consulting at Engagement manager / Project leader / CTL level and joining biz ops team in big tech?

Any insights on if and how the team dynamics, expectations etc change?

What is bad and what is good (probably WLB)?

I am moving to a team full of smart people (based on education and pedigree) but no one with consulting experience (which I think is a good thing?)

Thank you so much for your help!

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
