What are the best exit opportunities for software specific consultants I.e. salesforce, workday, Microsoft dynamics, oracle, SAP? Has anyone left tech specific consulting to do any other kind of consulting?

The best exits are ones where you’re able to bridge the tech implementation with the business context.

If you’re purely specialized on the tech, the ceiling for career growth is quite low.

Pigeon holing is dumb in regards to platforms. They are all the same just with different flavors.

FAANG or other big tech product management is a popular exit for big 4 / acn tech consultants as the process is similar to building tech products with the end user. Possibly the main feeder actually next to MBAs as they like the data skills and metrics. SaaS sales is also very lucrative. Fortune 500 IT director or VP can pay well too $350k+. Some choose to do C2C contracts and can make $500k+ running a few at a time. Lots of opportunities. Tech is the cash cow for consulting firms. Too much business and opportunity out there with this background. $300k-$500k should be very attainable with 7 yoe in consulting. Big 4 sr managers already cross 300k after a couple years at that level anyway.

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

Worked so hard to get a tech exit with reasonable comp, but now that I got it, it feels weird to leave strat consulting. Consulting pays more in the longer term with much faster progression, but once in tech always in tech, more meaningful S&O work and better wlb (hopefully??)

Anyone felt this way before? :(
