I think what I have seen is that when leadership changes, the role you are doing is no longer valued in the same way. If you think the value endures, then can be a good move. If not, I would be wary of giving up your client facing responsibilities.
I would only consider an internal role when I will be within 4 years of retirement. Pour back into my firm all I can and not have to worry about a way back to client service.
Mentor
First roles to get cut in a downturn.
Assuming, you have a good thing going right now, in this market and with the leadership unpredictability in most of our firms right now, that would be a hell no for me.
All that said, without context, hard to give you solid advice. I would suggest to talk to someone senior you trust in your firm about this. They will be able to connect the dots much better.
It’s possible your highest value is internally focused. Most firms don’t invest appropriately in some of the internal roles. It’s worth consideration.
But after you do your due diligence, trust your gut.
Internal leadership has many dynamics and offers many ways to deliver impact. DM me and I’ll share some perspective.
Do both, rewrite the role to include keeping some key accounts. It helps you be innovative (innovation from the ivory tower doesn’t work in consulting) and keeps you relevant and revenue generating.
Coach
I would only do it if I plan on getting out of consulting. My mentor was elevated to be the right hand of the CEO of the firm and was axed completely (let go) shortly after the CEO stepped down. They did not get a chance to go back to client service.
Could be dangerous. 1. leaving client relationships and having to rebuild whole new business (team and clients) when/if you come back to the client side. 2. From experience, internal positions are hard to evaluate and compensate for fairly. They may come back and say you are doing great but we will cut your comp. Make sure you have a good agreement on what constitutes success and how it will be rewarded…
It could also be very interesting, bring you additional visibility, connections, impact and worth the risk or pay decrease.
