I’ve been a mgt consultant for 2 years at a major gov contractor. I want to get more into the tech space. I’m looking at customer success and solutions consultant/SE roles, as that appeals to me more than the BDR>AE path. I don’t have a technical background but have obtained a few basic level certifications) in salesforce and am studying for the security+ now. Have any non-technical management consultants been able to successfully pivot into a junior/mid level SE or SC role at a SaaS company?

Anyone here who made the exit from Big 4/MBB consulting to a VC? If so, I’d love to hear about how the experience is so far. (Not to mention the WLB and comp!) I’m considering a career change but have no one in my network I can go to for insights. Thx! 🙏🏾

Current:
15 LPA for 11 years experience
Brand & Marketing Role - Edutech industry

How do I scale up? And where do I need to be? How do I make it happen without switching jobs?

Just how bad would it be to quit without a two week notice? I’ve been bait & switched into a horrible role, overworked to the point of having medical problems, and no amount of diplomatic talks with my manager has improved the day to day. My mental health and my personal relationships have been on a steady decline.

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?

I have the opportunity to exit to a Product Manager role at a PE-backed software company (noname co w ~$5-10B rev). Pay is at $150k base. Seems like an interesting industry. However, I kind of just stumbled on this and am apprehensive about leaving BCG after just a year out of undergrad. I’m also unsure how stock grants play out when working for a portco. Does anyone have advice for how to think about my next move?

Anyone feel frustrated at times with the super aggressive sales personalities we deal with? My AE is always pushing on every ask no matter how minuscule it is. My vp is super anal about anything we do. I understand these guys pull in huge commissions and bonuses that’s why they are so motivated. However what I personally feel is they just nag us until we do the job according to their spec. Just venting……anyone else feel the same?
