Up for manager this cycle in big 4 deals (fdd & data analytics). Currently part-time MBA (top 20).
Got a verbal offer from OW senior consultant level (CDD & ODD type projects). Is this worth to step back (both title and salary) to break into consulting? (i am interested in PE exit) I would like to pivot to post-mba associate roles in MBB or other tier2. Should i just stay and apply with manager title? In terms or salary - it will be ~50K ish low.

What’s the comp like for OW senior consultant?

like

Just DM’d you

I made a not so similar but comparable transition. Big four IT -> tier 2 CDD -> MBB. Your thoughts are absolutely right. It’s a right path, and short term there is a lot of pain. (I have ex-colleagues who come from FDD, advisory, all kinds of big four positions) It’s a lot of things to learn and unlearn and salary decrease would make you feel even more miserable. But longer term wise, if it’s a path you firmly believe in, and your ultimate goal isn’t big four PPMD, then make the move - the path is viable.

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.
