Coke just went through significant layoffs at HQ, not the place to be right now. Need more deets OP. What are you interested in? What's your practice right now? Do you want to keep doing consulting and go local or just go to industry?

True, I work in cyber security. I get some offers but they are for other consulting jobs. I want to work for a company that is more up and coming than an established behemoth like Coke or similar. Maybe something like VMware I know they are in sandy springs (north Atlanta)

I second Alpharetta. I live here, it's referred to as the "Silicon Valley of the south". Don't know how true that is but there are a few places around here. UPS supply chain, HP, halyard, KC in Roswell. Those are some I know off the top of my head on my way to work

Cox

If u want work life balance and challenging tech environment, Southern Company is great! Did a cyber project down there for almost 2 years. But it felt too old. They were my client down there

There are a number of tech startups in town that pay very well also for folks with development experience.

Cox has a terrible culture from what I hear but they pay big bucks.

Has a lot of ex consultants. I know 5 Bainies from who've gone there in the past couple of years. Guess it depends what group you join...

Haha bcg, I work in industry now...also, some industries (like utilities) use consultants openly, unless its strategy or M&A deal., it's not unusual to have an Accenture come in and implement a solution for you

OP, as a fellow ATL cyber security consultant who's worked on a lot of the local big clients, the work culture at them isn't the greatest especially if you're the type of guy that wants to get shit done. If you do wanna move to industry, I would say Home Depot and Cox will pay the best. Wouldn't recommend Coke, their internal IT security teams were gutted (up to 50% of staff). Delta just got a new Ciso so they might be hiring. If you're interested, I can refer you to folks I know (ex-PwC and clients) in the security teams at Cox, THD, Coke and Turner.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Hi Fishes,
I am working as a Sr Manager/Team Lead in service based industry since 10yrs, my total experience in leadership is 6 years. I want to shift my focus into product based companies. Any guidance/tips for me? Also dm if you know about any product manager roles in your sea.

Please remember, when you’re asking for salary information, it’s important to mention where you are located. For example, $100,000 is going to be a lot more in Mississippi than in San Francisco. Thanks guys.
