Looking at taking an SM role with Crowe because it’s a huge title and salary bump (going from a IC in tech to SM). I want to stay for two years or so and jump. Open to consulting and non-consulting but looking to see the exit opps as an SM after 2-3 years, specifically in the Tech Due Diligence / PE side of things. Is it possible to go into a Director level at B4 or higher paying F500 VP role?

I don’t want take a worse WLB if there are no exit upsides long term.

Started my career at Crowe. It’s a good culture relative to others but not a great name depending on the city you’re in.

One or two people I worked with (not in DD/PE) did jump to MBB eventually, others like myself easily did B4

Hi Everyone,

At the moment I'm a procurement consultant in London, but want to make a move towards supply chain consulting. My preference would go out to a supply chain consulting role which is more analytically challenging. Do you have any advice on how to make the transition (e.g. firms which would help me transition or courses to upskill myself before applying)?
