How easy is it to switch between Corporate Strategy industry roles at different companies? Hired as a SM with 6-7 YOE @ 160K all in, which was a decent bump at the time. Not sure if it’s better to stick it out for another 1-2 years to hit a Director-level position or if I should start hunting for these magical FAANG / Tech CS roles that pay so well 😭. Any perspective appreciated.

Not answering your Q but 6-7 YoE is super impressive to hit SM despite the SM pay being on the lower end

Thanks! Appreciate that. I do really like my company / team, so not in a huge rush to move. Grateful to have gotten the role two months before COVID shut everything down.

Non-tech industry to tech industry is decently difficult - tech prefers hiring tech

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?
