How do exit opportunities compare between engagement manager and senior manager?

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth sticking it out for another 6-12mo?

I will avoid saying it depends on what field/function you are pursuing. :) Will just talk about my personal experience as I went through tech recruiting (BD, Strategy, PMM) as a 2nd year EM (early in the year). I was still recruiting for individual contributor L5 at Google, L64 at MSFT, similar level at others - exact same roles I would have targeted 6 months back. in these more generalist roles - they seem to value us for the skills -problem solving, athleticism, story telling- which you have already demonstrated with your transition. I felt they completely discounted the people management aspect. If I was an AP then it would have been one level up everywhere (I think)- so I was stuck in the middle (especially since all of them try to down level- for good reasons). YMMV- I know couple of EMs/PLs who used that one year to build on a specific unique skill set (often tying to pre MBA days) and then really made the jump to the next level.

If you're looking at Big Tech, outside of strategy and/or BD roles, my understanding from talking to a number of friends and HMs across Big Tech, they care far more about your years of relevant experience than your title and pedigree.

Unfortunately this is true :(

If it matters, I've got an MBA from a top 10.

Thoughts on Wealth Management as an industry? Offered a role to work under a senior FA and eventually take over the book (~$800M AUM and growing).

I’d want to make sure the clients stay through the transition, and I don’t want to join a dying industry. Thoughts and advice?

Hello fishes.
I'm a fresher and I recently joined one of the big4 as a senior analyst.
I am given sap as my competency, but honestly I'm not finding it interesting. I was hoping to shift to data analytics(python, sql, etl, powerbi, advanced excel... Working with these techs).
I have knowledge in python and sql. I also have some development skills, reactjs and stuff(not relevant to data analytics).
Should I increase my skill set before starting to apply to other firms?
