Leave as a Senior Consultant or wait and leave as a Manager? Does that literally matter at all when applying to industry positions? Thanks!

Leave ASAP. Industry doesn’t understand consulting titles anyway.

I left before promoting to manager. Honestly no one cares outside consulting. Follow the money, not the title.

I think you need to be creative. If you’re a data scientist - list that and put senior consultant in parentheses. If you’re a project manager list that as your title. Your resume is about marketing. Your title should be more the tasks you perform, not your title in workday.

like

List your responsibilities and create an additional title in parentheses as needed. My exit opp found me because I was capable of directing a development team + business analysts, and had successfully done it in the past, not because I had a formal manager title

Depends on industry, some don't care and just look at YOE after you hit senior. Others will care and want to see it official. General rule for most is YOE + impactful resume descr will trump all,

EY has a point, but the “senior consultant” title from Deloitte is notoriously difficult to navigate on the job market, since your responsibilities are similar to what a manager is at many other places. If you’re up this year, I’d say hang out the remaining 3 months til you have the title. If you’re not up, then it’s probably not worth the wait.

like

D2 - no. The title is listed on the background check. They’ll see it when they verify info on your resume. I fudge with my title but you can’t change it up too much.

It made a difference for me because I could prove people management experience and overall project ownership and being lead for client/executive interactions, however it may matter less for you

like

If you had people leadership responsibilities would add as a sub title (team manager/lead or client engament manager/lead)

I think it does make a difference for some types of roles, like Finance, Tax, IT, Audit - when I made manager I started being contacted by recruiters about a whole different level of roles

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter? I accepted an offer a week ago with a great company (Company A) that for this season in my life seems like a great fit and only strengthens what I have to offer company B down the road. Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus.

How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.
