The responses on this thread thus far are why I love FB

Would be good for you to have a perspective on how you develop strategy (i.e. how do you develop industry perspectives and turn that into strategic insight). Basically just regurgitate how BCG thinks about developing strategy.

Ask questions, frame problems, assess materiality, come up with a hypothesis for a solution framework, test, review, repeat

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut).

Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
