The only way you will not have to cater to fickle partners is to become a partner yourself. There is even more catering involved at principal/sr. manager level

I'd offer the same advice to you, OP.

Title means something but the consulting firms' ranks are well known to recruiters. Also, if your title is inflated and even if your resume has some Grade A quality BS on it, I will still figure you out when I interview you. Just being a VP at some financial companies, for instance, as some even low level staff have AVP and similar titles. I would not recommend taking lower comp for a better title - the two aren't just that tightly linked. I would consider doing that for a (much) better opportunity where I was walking into a role where I needed to make a significant investment in my own skills, such as if I was shifting my career focus, but probably wouldn't make such a move otherwise.

What is your title now?

I can tell you that catering to partners gets a whole lot worse when you're promoted to senior manager.

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be. I have colleagues doing intense data science tasks as BI Analysts, and can’t help but feel indignant on their behalf because when hearing their job title, one would underestimate their technical ability.
