Hi! curious to get some benchmarks here. What’s considered a “normal” vs “great” total comp if I were to leave tech and return to consulting? I have ~5 years of experience (50/50 industry and consulting) and would likely re-enter just below manager level.

I’m especially interested in data points for boutique firms, since Glassdoor hasn’t been much help with the vague titles and wide TC ranges. Appreciate any insights! Thanks!

My company’s SOP template has a table of contents and a section at the top where the SOP owner is supposed to add a short statement containing the “Why” of the SOP, meaning a statement about what the SOP is supposed to solve for/ accomplish.

Thoughts?
