Stay for PPMD at D or shift to FAANG? Expecting an offer as an L7 Sr engineering manager. Expected total comp around $600k. I have a lot of support for Principal, but know that is not guaranteed.

I am concerned about compensation growth, changing landscape in consulting, and wlb.

That comp is a LOT. Are you up this year? Total comp year 1 as a P isn't going to hit 600.

I think a senior level FAANG role can bolster your comeback to consulting as a direct entry MD/Partner just as much. Also depends on how sure you are of whether you'd make the partner rank in the next cycle (a possibility) versus taking this role (a reality).

Is it principal or MD? I’ve heard from quite a few SM/PPMDs that the latest move is telling people that they have support for P but then bait and switching them for MD. It’s worth it to stay for P, but not MD. At least that’s what the SMs I work with say.

Okay, you probably know better than me on this one BA1. Guess I need to meet some more SMs and PPMDs to widen my viewpoint.

Take it and go
