Look into DBT and data governance/data catalog tools.

The DP-500 cert by Microsoft would be a good start given your PowerBI experience.

Which offer would you take?

EYP TSE Senior Consultant: 180k +15% expected bonus +30k signing.

AlixPartners EI Vice President: 180k +$55k bonus, no signing bonus.

Leaning towards EYP since the WLB will probably be better with less travel. I’m OK with travel, I just expect to be better compensated for having to do so often. My goal is to stay in consulting long term.

Currently a manager at a B4 making less than both these offers.
