People who have transitioned from consulting to big tech, how was the transition? from what role to what new role? Where did you begin job hunt? Any external help for resume or interview prep? Miss consulting now?

ERP tech consultant at D for 7 years > sr product manager at Amazon > principal product manager at Amazon > Director at Nvidia. Took about 14 years, 36 now, approximately $700k total comp. A few of my colleagues at D are now CIOs making 7 figures. It’s a relatively easy path with good pay and only 40 hours a week of work. Even though lots of people make fun of tech consultants it can definitely open up some nice doors for you.

Not sure my move was typical, I was senior manager in big 4 where many of my projects were implementations of certain ServiceNow modules, and I moved into a role at ServiceNow now to do implementations of the same modules. It's actually really refreshing because the role is an individual contributor role, so no expectations on managing or selling. I do not miss big 4 consulting
