I interviewed with the internal consulting group of a large bank for a Director role. They came back and offered SVP, $225k with 20% bonus. Im a newly minted SM, whose base is $185k and bonus around 18-20% and my ratings are/have always been top end. Lots of “brand” recognition by the partners and throughout the practice, so nobody busts my balls. However my practice is highly specialized and this would give me an opportunity to work more strategically but im starting all over again. Stay or Go?

Role and comp are clearly superior at the bank. Seems like you're looking for excuses to stay. Stay, if you really want but I'd move in a heartbeat.

Ask yourself…Is your brand worth $50k a year? As I’m sure you’re aware, path at SM only gets steeper until partner. So although you have it easy now, my guess is that that will quickly change once the promo settles

Go , if your brand is that strong I’m sure you’d be able to boomerang back in the future if things don’t work out.

Or you'll perform just as strongly at the new place and progress reasonably quick for industry.

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!
