Is it possible to transition from Sales Manager to consulting. Currently making around 100k per year and would like to make a move and potentially make 20-30% more. For context, I have been at my current organization for 4 years and have grown my teams annual revenue from 1,000,000 to over 4,000,000 primarily through improving the culture, processes, and quality

I’m gonna say It depends on the type of consulting. I would probably rule out MBB but maybe you can get into a big 4.

A safe bet would be getting an MBA

What industry? Sales manager that makes 100k seems very low.

We’re B2C in utilities, telecom, and some technology. At least for Dallas the salary is somewhat competitive, it’s a smaller company of 200 employees

ANYTHING is possible ;)

And it sounds like you are worth it so go get it!!

What’s a fair expectation for my first raise? Publicly traded co with ~2500 employees. I’ve been doing litigation with the company for almost 3 yrs and have only had a 2% cost of living raise so far. Graduated in 2014. Base comp is $127.5k in the Philly area. I see salaries all over the place in this site and it’s hard to tell whether mine is competitive.

Hi lads,
Anyone please help me understand what would be my monthly salary that will get credited, with/without the tax deduction on monthly basis.

And I'm new to all this I don't know what is variable pay, basic etc. Please help understand this by writing few description on above points. Also by submitting the home rent agreement how much will be saving, and will that only be sufficient or i can add more bills to avoid the dedication. If yes what types of bills i can submit like fuel bills etc.
