Interesting thing happened to me and wanted some advice. Client randomly reached out to see if I wanted to take over a Director position at the firm I’m currently consulting at.

Congrats! There’s no real wrong decision here so I’d encourage you to think through the pros and cons you listed and determine what matters most to you in your career (pay/prestige/WLB/etc). I would also consider the environment at the client (what would your team/network look like) as well as the current economic outlook (is your current firm /client firm strong enough to withstand this period of uncertainty)

For context, I am just hitting my 6 year mark. Director positions are one under VP at the client and asking around have about a $230k total comp package. Directors typically have 10-15 years of experience.

I am currently making $200k base, 15% target bonus, and a modest 401k match. I am at a smaller firm.

The biggest thing would be the hours, I currently work around 60-70 hours a week. Full-time at the client is 37.5 hours.

There’s not really a boost in pay. But definitely a reduce in hours.

My main conundrum is that I am definitely on Partner track in the next few years. But I imagine, I could keep going to VP and SVP at client.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

Hi all- My SO is currently at a Big4 & was initially preparing for S&O roles at GCP but given the high number of ex MBB consultants hired, they believe its just more competition to get the offer & to eventually get promoted over time.

Instead, they have decided to pursue program manager or cloud consultant roles, which they feel might have a lower barrier to entry from an assessment standpoint. Not sure if the bowl agrees but would like to get your thoughts, thanks!
