Sharing for transparency…I left my strategy consulting job for a corporate strategy role at a large industrials company. At the senior manager level, I was offered 180 base and 20% bonus target. The base was comparable to what I made in consulting and bonus is probably a bit lower (but varies by year, last year my bonus in consulting was basically nothing). I’m sharing because when I was recruiting I wasn’t sure it was possible to find a role like this and I’m glad I was wrong!

I left for a corp strat for F500 as well. Was offered 170k base and 15-20% bonus. I literally wake up at 930 and log off by 430. Blessed!

Awesome - congratulations! Are you in the US?

Yes

What are the hours, stress levels, and projects like compared to consulting?

Too soon to tell for sure but hours are much better and work is more interesting for me personally because it’s in an industry that I’m more passionate about

Congrats!

what about WLB? I heard that in the strategy departments with ex-MBB folks it does not get much better.

My boss grew up in operations and started the Corp strategy Group. So it's chill. Yes we have MBB but they must adjust to our corporate culture not the other way around.

Don’t get scammed. I saw an ad for vending machines that dispense hot coffee, from The Caffeine Dream. Sounds like a cool idea, and they offered placement of the machines for a one time fee. but I asked this “Chris Mateli” where. He was evasive at first and was rude when I had someone with my company call to ask. Eventually he gave me the locations before buying the machines which, of course, I couldn’t verify for placement. They had no idea about these machines because they never ordered them.
