I’m stressed about starting my new job. I’m at 2.5 YOE in consulting and wanted to leave because of salary. I’m going to join FB as a client solutions partner and they doubled my salary but the role isn’t what I want. I don’t want to do sales but strategy/product. I’m now having stress nightmares that I sabotaged my career and now I’m getting interview requests for roles that are more my liking. Should I renege? I won’t be miserable but I’m worried about future career steps

I got caught up in prestige/salary/team but I don’t care for the role too much outside of the analytics

Is it very analytics heavy? I’d say take the job and keep interviewing. In this market, you just don’t know if you can’t land something for sure. I’ve heard sales can pigeon hole you, but since this is analytics based, it may not!

Also, maybe the job is more strategic than you think. Strategy came sometime be all talk and no P/L. Sounds like you might be doing some P/L in your new role.

Just out of curiosity is your total experience 2.5 YOE or just consulting

Bump, did you make a decision?

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.
