Is there anyone out here who successfully exited to a strategy role in any industry like tech and got a massive pay bump? How hard or easy is it to break into these kind of roles

Did it, no bump likely considering you’d be a work in progress coming from fdd. Was a lot different than strategy I experienced in consulting world. A lot of that work and most critical decisions were outsourced to MBB, etc. and rarely even communicated to the internal ‘strategy departments’ (I.e. CEO kept everyone else in dark unless absolutely necessary). The legitimacy of internal strategy varies widely from company to company.

Doing FDD

You will realize that unless you do investment banking, most jobs even strategy is not going to be a massive pay bump from FDD. It may even be a pay cut.

Hi boys & girls!

Joined a big firm (Big4) not long a go and starting to feel like I got a good grip on my current work.

I've always been very technical, so I think that the only thing I am missing now is making sales. (I really wanna make partner)

Can any seasoned lawyer share tips and materials (i.e. books) which can help?

Would it be a good idea to join a Social Club where potential clients spend time? (gym/tennis/paddel/events)

I see a lot of Jr. Level folks (myself included) in this bowl asking about certain finance exit opps like MM IB and PE etc.

From Big4 Transparency: S1/MCOL/2YOE/FDD making $97k. Managers MCOL close to $150k.

very Selective jobs( MF PE and BB IBs) kinda blow these numbers out of the water... but for the more attainable exits like MM IB and and corporate development... considering wlb and pay, is the grass much greener?

Thoughts?
