Manager within Human Capital - 6YOE. What types of roles can I expect to exit to when I hit SM? Worth holding out?

If you want to leave, I’d suggest leaving now rather than waiting for SM. If you only have 6 YOE, my guess would be you just became manager. It’ll take you at least 4 more years to hit SM which isn’t worth the wait unless you want to become a partner.

The job opportunities for a M vs SM don’t really change much so it’s better to get out now and try to move up in your new role over the next 4 years.

This! No point waiting…and if it turns out the grass is greener I’m sure it wouldn’t be too difficult to boomerang back
