How the heck do I get out of consulting? I want an IT implementation director or up role with a good WLB and $200k+ base. Have done product and project management.

I have an MBA, PMP and a couple of other certs. On the wrong side of 40….

Can you actually implement something or you can just talk / throw orders about implementations? Not being pedantic / condescending at all. It’s typical for consultants to fall into that trap. You asked the question so I’m asking a counter question to get to the answer you might be looking for.

Health and life sciences. To be clear though, the real money and career with salesforce work is working FOR salesforce. Or in house for an org that uses it.

Recommend not being a generic salesforce consultant if you can help it.

Guidehouse - what’s the overall target compensation you are shooting for ? Won’t process owner roles help you hit that ?

Yeah you should hit that comfortably. Maybe base may not be 200 plus but total compensation will be in the 250-300 range if you look around a bit

Hi all, I’m looking to learn about how one can transition from PwC AC to PwC India.
I joined PwC AC Bangalore as a fresher and have been working here for 13 months.
I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.
