I currently do planning system implementation at SC level. Quite technical stuff and less PMO. What are my future career possibilities from here onwards? Can I keep progressing in the standard ladder and keep doing implementations, or is it automatically going to end up becoming more are more sales oriented and less actual implementation work? Especially interested in the SM level and above. I’d prefer staying at Big 4 and avoid the supplier side.

You can be at the SM level and still focus largely on delivery, but there will definitely still be sales and BD portions of the job. I’m at a non B4 but my focus is on planning process and technologies. B4 SM for delivery would likely focus on management of very large multi-year engagements

Recommend you talk to your counselor. Regardless of domain or discipline, manager is very delivery focused with a minor priority on sales, senior manager is a mix of delivery and sales. As you become more proficient in management of transformational programs and client interactions, your sales acumen should improve. And not every level is the same by year - M1 isn’t the same as M3, SM1 isn’t the same as SM4 because the growth curve in consulting is steep

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment. However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks

How do you cope when your employer rapidly descends into chaos from the top down? Today is my 2yr anniversary with this company. In the past 6mos, they have repeatedly changed directions / goals, pushing out several supportive and productive managers in favor of a single chauvinist overlord who makes HR violations daily and does no actual work. HR denies every complaint made against him and he retaliates to the point of firing people. Very hostile. How do I survive until I find my next gig?
