If you exit big consulting (e.g ACN, Deloitte, PWC) and go work at a boutique firm, do the big consulting recruiters stop reaching out since you left their world?

Im looking at this boutique marketing strategy consultancy (~200 consultants). It seems really cool and they only do the type of stuff I want to do, just nervous it’s not like this super big name.

I just did this. Small boutique. It has its own struggles but there is a lot of BS with big companies you just won’t miss.

Switching from commission to salary!

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What % haircut should be expected? As an example, if I make 100k (base + commission) today, would it be realistic to ask for 90k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade.

We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.
