Yes very different. Solutions is like a packaged product that is sold to clients. Think of a set of benchmarks or some insightful actionable research that you may have come across in the past. Solutions develop them further so that clients can use it on an ongoing basis. Their role is to update/run that product every year and see if there is further innovation or parallel streams that can be introduced in the solution to make it more profitable. Some solutions are like diagnostics which you go run at a client and give them results compared to other benchmarks in the peerset. Most solutions are a group of 7-8 people with a couple of analysts + specialists , 1 or 2 managers, a VP and a Partner who sponsored it. Few solutions are much bigger but most of them are all this size. Depending on your solution as a manager you will most likely be overseeing quality of the work your specialists/analysts do and work with VP who has the core sales responsibility. Growth is tough unless your solution can grow/branch out and there is need for more VPs. Your base is likely to be around 140K I guess but not too sure.
