Won’t make a difference! When it was industry specific all cases were in the industry, but probably the same type of cases

I would expect a generalist interview to be easier. If it was an industry specific role/interview they might expect you to come in with industry specific knowledge.

On a related note, I was scouring the careers site for S& and couldn't find anything generalist at all.

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?
