Is exiting to Corporate Strategy very different as an Associate vs as a Senior Associate?

I want do to Corp Strat as my next step after consulting, but not sure if the promo to SA is worth pursuing (takes 3 years to get the promo) or if I should try to exit after 2 years as an Associate

Job wise no, as a direct promote SA with 3 years experience you’re unlikely to see different roles than an A with 2 years experience.

Salary wise possibly; A->SA is exactly the kind of comp jump that basically doesn’t exist outside of consulting. Getting promoted then trying to match the salary externally is going to get you to that level way faster than trying to get raises in industry.

Resume gap: My position will be abruptly end in December (was informed this week). However, I won't be interview ready in the next 2 weeks. So how bad does a gap of 1-2 months appear to tech recruiters?

Common knowledge is it is a disadvantage to the candidate from a salary negotiation process. I'm also told hiring decisions at places like AWS & GCP take time and it might be a few months before an offer letter is received.
