I have an opportunity to move to Associate Partner at IBM. What is it like in this role? Is it worth the potential pay increase?

That’s an SM role at EY or Accenture or KPMG band 10 (if you can get the D and go in as a partner it’s better)

It’s a landing pad for many it isn’t up or out from
There and the next one is the hard promo (former Band C)

At a Deloitte ornPWC or any of the MBB depends where you come in but could be a manager or an SM equivalent

Stay away

Assuming you’re a senior manager at EY, it is the same rank - maybe an experienced senior manager. Nobody can answer “is it worth it” without more details except for you. Long term upside is probably lower.

I was an AP at IBM. Probably the best exits I’ve seen have come from folks at that level. I exited to MD level in a big multinational corporation. Worth noting the comp is terrible and the bonus doesn’t pay out consistently unless you’re dedicated to an account that’s really making their numbers. You aren’t eligible for deal bonuses otherwise. I wouldn’t agree to it unless you were confirmed to be dedicated to an account, and those roles don’t come by very often.

However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
