I need real advice. I've got 15 yrs management consulting experience (strategy/operations), Masters degree from top school, MBA (focus: supply chain) and am six sigma MBB with deep MFG experience. Like many, I was impacted with the mid 2000's downsizing and took a corporate consulting job at a well known engineering software company, but with much lower compensation...demoralizingly low. How do I get back into firms like Deloitte, PwC, etc. and get paid what I'm worth (Principal level)?

If by principal, you mean partner, it would be challenging to be a direct admit at Big 4 unless I’m misunderstanding your current role. Direct admit is a tough process and usually they’re strongly prioritizing current book of business and pipeline. They want someone who can lift and shift to increase revenue and sales. Perhaps if your current software is in high demand as a growth engine, you could make it work— If you can paint that picture for the business case and have the right relationships, it might be possible.

DM me and I can provide some additional guidance. I’m similar YOE to you.

Hi!

Should I accept the offer or renegotiate?
