Is Operations paid the least at your respective firms? I was hired to a Client Service Delivery role with a heavy focus on project management.

But, I am aligned to the “Operations” capability and make the least of my teammates who perform seemingly identical work but are aligned to “Strategy and Consulting.” I worry I’m on a career path to being paid the least wherever I go, because Operations is in my title and background.
