Thoughts on product roles in consulting? Went from B4 strategy role to Product role at C1 and wondering how I can best leverage the product experience back in consulting (goal is to grow income/role as fast as possible)

Hey Fish Fam, I am about to put in my two weeks notice at a Big4. Going to industry. Any sage advice or pointers on what to say and what not to say/do?

I work in clinical Oncology - Really would like a higher level position in management. Anyone work in this industry have any insight?

I interviewed for an employed role and knocked my business plan pitch out the park, but could tell I disappointed them with my technical. By my own admission I’m lacking in this area as only have 1.5 years experience with a poor manager who only had me focus on biz dev.

They asked me what my salary expectations are but had already hinted my experience would knock me down a pay grade.

As it was 4 of them and 1 of me I said I would email them. How do I play this without lowballing myself?

My contract is close to ending with a verbal offer on table to stay for 30k. I am looking for something more techanical in the engineering field that matched my abilities more.
