Recruiter of a F500 company contacted me for a Corporate Strategy Manager role even though I only have 3 years of experience. Is this normal or should I be wary? Automotive Industry.

I mean corporate strategy roles are pretty ridiculous. Strategy is outlined by highest level management. Roles are pretty fluffy in my experience.

Sometimes it just means the recruiter is going to do a bait and switch.

I imagine it's because the company isn't considered that desireable, but looking on LinkedIn it's alumni aren't bad with many coming into the same role post-mba.

Corp manager is normal for ~2 years of experience. Think of the titles as one or two levels above consulting ( consultants ger hired to manager, sr. mgr roles; managers go to sr. mgr, director roles; principals go to vp, etc..)

Always felt like MBB are the only ones who get that treatment. The whole 1 year in consulting = 2 years in industry isn't that common for the rest of us.

I'm curious bout this too. I wonder if the recruiters are even rly looking at profiles... I have a little over 3 years and 2 in analytics, recent SA promote. Recruiter came over with a senior manager BI role in industry....

Bain1 is right - in corporate strategy, “manager” is 2-3 years in and pre-mba

@SA1 analytics and BI are similar enough

It’s mostly true for MBB, but I am in industry now and we are considering some non-MBB for Corp strategy director roles. We offered someone from S&.

D2, yeah definitely. I consider BI a subset of overall DA... my confusion was an SM position for 2 years experience...

Lol Corp strategy roles are the main exit opportunities for s& people

OP I used to be at a non-MBB strategy consulting company and was getting offered the corp strat manager and sr. mgr roles at F500 as a non-mba consultant.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA?

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
