Second Year M here (~9 YOE)- contemplating exit paths:
Option 1. My (big tech) client has essentially offered to “sponsor” me joining as a FTE. TComp would be ~$425k (mostly RSUs), but would suggest I eventually need to relocate from “big non-coastal city” to the Bay Area (if “I’m to be successful”)- that isn’t really feasible for now. Option 2: Being recruited by a F500 for a data + corp strategy Director role, no relocation required, TComp around ~$320k, better WLB. I’m ~$190k now. What to do?

How soon would you have to move to the bay area? If it is when return to office policies start, which could be 3-6 months from now, then that's not a good option. However, if it is on a multi-year scale, menacing you need to be in the bay area to get promoted eventually, then I'd take option 1, get experience from the current location, and try to leave for a similar role if moving becomes mandatory at some point.

Any advice and tips on how you approached recruiting?

like

Do major companies use external recruiting firms rather than in house recruiting? I’ve felt like the roles recruiting firms have sent me are sus. vs going directly to the company I am interested in with favorable roles.

Also: Option 2 is 50/50 Cash/RSU

Great options — I’d pick 2, if you don’t want to go to Bay Area

2 sounds like a better fit. Can I ask, what is the role in 1? Sounds like a great exit if not for the location!

The role for #1 is similar to #2- Analytics and data Manager between business unit leaders and a development team.
Mix of light technical skills, core consulting skills (big picture thinking, Exec Comms), corp strategy.

Off topic, but would love to hear more about your background - what led you to a (potential) data + corporate strategy role? I haven’t heard much about that type of role, but on the surface it sounds right down my alley. How rare are those types of roles vs pure corporate strategy roles? What does it take?

Strategy and analytics/ data often go hand in hand in today's world

Deloitte's offer is 7K more and in a cheaper area. Equal interest in both jobs, slight preference for Mercer for people + culture. Leaning towards Mercer because I graduate in Dec and can start in Jan vs having to wait until next summer for Deloitte + location (although higher COL)
