Totally depends. If you're already running projects and doing all the M work, it might not be a big leap. Also titling might be different; I'm a M at Deloitte, and I came from another firm as M, but I was doing work more comparable to Deloitte SM at the last place, so it was a super smooth transition.

That said, if you're not doing much stretch work as SC, it could be a real challenge. Some firms are good about integrating new hires, while others leave you little ramp up time, which is not a recipe for success.

At my last firm, I was accountable for financial performance of my accounts and for practice development. I was not paid extra for sales metrics, but I was expected to own client relationships, identify opportunities, write statements of work, and staff my projects, and I managed 4+ projects at a time.

Some of that overlaps - at D I need to staff my projects (with support) and do practice development, but the rest of the things I listed are more SM work than M work. Honestly it's super good to have support from above for a lot of this stuff.

Need your help 🐠 I feel like I‘m always sick (flue like symptoms ~2x per month).

Any advice on what tests I can ask for that helped you in the past? Any recommendations for a more complete checkup in Manhattan (ideally covered by most insurances)? TIA!

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers.

So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
