Question: Is it worth transitioning from implementation consulting to strategy consulting? Currently completing my MBA and the salary ranges for strategy consulting positions are less than my current salary as a implementation consultant.

I made the switch from implementation to strategy and do not regret it. It depends on goals. In my experience, strategy pays MUCH more than implementation at a similar tier. I did not see implementation firms paying the same rates as strategy firms at a C/M level. It’s just different type of work and clientele. Moving from more operational/on the ground to more organizational/high level work.

Yes they have a Strategy & Transformation practice group but it’s more specific to life sciences
