How does being a manager in audit compare to being a manager in deal advisory (AAS)? Nervous to make the switch of the unknown.

I’m terms of what? In audit you’re captain project manager. In AAS you actually need to know things and own relationships.

It will be weird at first because it’s different but overall it’s a much better gig. Better pay, more interesting, more flexibility, control over your schedule, etc.

Np, happy to chat more if you need a referral for cmaas

I have over 12 years in B2B sales/sales management experience along with a graduate degree. I am wanting to shift gears and I am at a point where I can invest time in myself to learn through practical experience. The new industry I am wanting to pursue is real estate investment. I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side. How could I best leverage my skills for a role in this, and what should my expectations be for negotiation in compensation?

Seeking perspectives on career path. TIA!

9 YOE (6.5 in consulting, 2.5 in BU strategy and M&A). Involved in end-to-end process (incl. modeling) but processes largely led by Corporate M&A team. 3 tuck-ins completed (all in 2022).

Options considering:
1/ Continue current path, stack more deal experience, strong chance of Director promo in 3-6 months
2/ Don’t wait, just jump or apply to other roles
3/ Study and go back to grab MBA (considering MIT or Stanford MSX - 1 YR)

TC: 175K (…low)
