Just hit two years and still a consultant. I have unbelievable flexibility and autonomy so not mad. What are the benefits to being an SC? not seeing much other than flexing and a small salary bump.

Booz’s staff levels are needlessly complicated

Exit opps. One promo to show you can do it and now your world opens up,

Have you expressed interest in being promoted to SC, and discussed goals with your CM/JL?

The benefit is more responsibility. There are people who want to work a lot and feel important and respected, and those people are usually paid more. There are people who want to have a bit of work and enjoy their lives. You sound like the latter. Most consultants are the former. There’s no catch. The benefits are as you laid out: more flexing, more pay

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.
