Started with my firm right after college coming up on 4 and half years. I’m within the SAP finance consulting space and I’m up for Manager promotion this cycle. I kept telling myself I’ll jump ship once I get senior but here I am… I’d like to go to industry and invest my time with a team rather then changing projects so frequently. What is an equivalent jump? Was looking into strategy op’s positions but the salary is weak. Ideas?

You are in SAP but “change projects frequently”? That’s unusual..I’ve been an average of 15 months on my engagements. SAP implementations are huge projects. And, no matter how great the client, was always happy to get some new experience after that timeframe 😏
But to your point of “equivalent jump”: as a senior, and at only 4.5 years of experience, it will be very hard to find a similar salary job in the industry. Change from SAP to strategy is also not as easy as it sounds, since very different skills involved. I would definitely wait out the M promotion and if you are interested in strategy, try to get on a project where you can learn. One year more in consulting is nothing when in comes to your overall lifetime work, but can get you in a significant better position in the Industry if you stick around just a bit longer to prove Manager skills. Good luck! 🍀

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
